On 8th July 2015, I signed up to geocaching while on holidays with some friends in the Blue Mountains. Up until then, I had never heard of geocaching. The next day, on 9th July, I found my first cache (Leura GC & TB Exchange 3). My log reads:
"I found my first Geocache. I was only told about Geocaching yesterday and with the help of member Chefpetar we found it. I had a bit of fun on my first treasure hunt. Can't wait for my next one. Brewmaker. TFTC"
Who knew that was going to be the start of something big! Here I am now 10 years later: over 15 000 finds, over 175 hides, and still going strong. I guess you could say I was hooked.
Geocaching has taken me to so many places I had never heard about. I have done some things that I would have never attempted before. I have had some wonderful adventures all over the world. But most importantly, I have made new friends and met some of the most amazing people I would have never known. It's events that brings the community together, so let's have another one to celebrate.
Everyone is welcome to come along. I look forward to celebrating my 10 year caching anniversary with you!

There are facilities in the park for all ages - playground, cycling, dog park, skatepark. There is so much open space to explore.
The park is dog friendly with a designated off leash area.
There are a few local caches nearby as well as some ALs that start here if you haven't been here before.
And of course you will be able to collect your souvenir for the COMMUNITY CELEBRATION IN 2025 if you haven't already got one.
If you plan on coming along, please log a ‘Will Attend’, along with how many in our team/group. Eg: @2@ if there are two of you.
