25 Challenges for 25 years of Geocaching!
This cache is NOT placed at the posted coordinates, GZ is listed as a visible waypoint.
To support Victoria's first ever Block Party, event mascot Muggle the Puggle has teamed up with geocachers across Victoria to place a range of caches for you all to find & enjoy. Whether you visit before, during, or after The Sunbury Event, we hope you enjoy your time in Sunbury & the surrounding areas of Hume.
This series of 25 Challenge Caches are all themed around the number 25 (some more loosely than others). Happy 25 years!
This challenge has not been deliberately designed to exclude or discriminate against any Geocachers, but to create a sense of achievement when you reach certain goals. Feel free to sign this cache at any time, but to claim the find you must qualify for the challenge. If you do not qualify, you may add a 'write note' log until such time that you do qualify. The challenge checker at the bottom of this page will tell you if you qualify. This challenge has been placed in compliance with the Challenge Cache Guidelines and the Victorian Regional Policy.
Muggle the Puggle's Challenge #13 - The Jake Stringer Challenge
The Sunbury Event will be the first time a Geocaching Block Party event will be held in the state of Victoria. With the event being held in Sunbury, Victoria located in the Hume LGA. The Hume LGA is also home to the Essendon Football club aka the Bombers, an Australian rules football team who until recently had a "big time" player by the name of Jake Stringer aka "The Package," (of course, he was traded to Greater Western Sydney during the 2024 trade period, after the concept for this challenge was developed, but we plow on regardless).
Stringer wore the #25 guernsey during his time with the Bombers and was a talented forward / midfielder who led the clubs' goalkicking on three seperate occasions. In order to celebrate the first time a Geocaching Block Party event will be held in the state of Victoria, this challenge has been hidden based on the theme of Jake Stringer aka "The Package."
In order to qualify for this challenge cache you need to find a minimum of 75 Letterbox Hybrid caches with a minimum of 25 of those finds being either size Regular or Large. After all, the Postie cant be expected to deliver 'the package' to a mint-tin sized letterbox.... Good Luck!
