Wasp Head Origins: An EarthCache Gathering Event Cache

This cache has been archived.

Earthbound Chief: What a wonderful event, a keen and interested crowd who made their way from the 4 corners of the earth, an outstanding vista and of course, an opportunity to hear from the placer of the worlds first and second Earthcache. I know all who attended will cherish this morning, especially those who were able to follow Gary out onto the headland and hear the fascinating geology at each and every waypoint of Earthcache one.
Time for this to be archived but the memory will remain.

Geocache Description:


“Wasp Head Origins: An EarthCache Gathering”


Join fellow geocachers for a special one-off celebration at Wasp Head—the site of the world’s very first EarthCache. On Thursday, December 11th from 9:30 am to 10:00am, we’ll gather at this iconic geological location to honour the origins of the EarthCache program and its impact on geocachers worldwide.

 

We’re delighted to announce that Gary Lewis, the creator  of the world’s first five original  EarthCaches, will be briefly in attendance. Gary is currently leading a tour of American visitors through NSW and Canberra, exploring geology and geocaches across the region—and Wasp Head is a highlight of their journey.

This event is a rare opportunity to meet Gary, hear stories from the early days of EarthCaching, and stand together where it all began.

Whether you’re an EarthCache enthusiast, a geology lover, or just excited to be part of geocaching history, come along for a friendly, relaxed gathering in a spectacular coastal setting.

Everyone is welcome—see you at Wasp Head!
