To this day, I’m still dreaming of a white Christmas in Australia—but since that’s highly unlikely, Christmas in July seemed like the next best thing. Until it wasn’t.
Sometimes the best-laid plans melt faster than a snowman in an Aussie summer. Try as I might, July slipped through my fingers—and like a tricky cache hidden just out of reach, I had to mark it as DNH (Did Not Happen).
But rather than give up, I’ve simply adjusted the calendar and done some recalculations… and so, I warmly invite you to celebrate Christmas in Julaugust instead—a delightfully delayed celebration of all things merry, mapped, and mildly ridiculous!
Come and join your fellow geocachers for a chilly winter gathering at the Port Admiral Hotel in Port Adelaide, where the spirit of Christmas will be alive and well—just fashionably late.
Food and drinks will be self-catered from the venue’s tasty à la carte menu, so you can feast according to your own festive cravings. If all goes to plan, there will hopefully be copious amounts of white chocolate for festive sweets. Please feel free to bring your own festive desserts to share, too.
Why not wear something festive—or at least something warm—and come along to celebrate the Christmas festivities with your fellow geocachers. Make sure to bring your caching stories and holiday cheer to share around.
Please ensure you log your “Will Attend,” and help turn this postponed plan into a truly merry Julaugust celebration. After all, it's never too late for an early Christmas party. The July party might have been late—but the joy is right on time. 🎁❄️🍫
Should you need any further information, please don't hesitate to contact me.
