Come and join us for a fantastic weekend of geocaching fun on the Yorke Peninsula!
Today's event is a relaxed lunchtime gathering in the beautiful coastal town of Coobowie. Located on the eastern side of the Yorke Peninsula, just north of Edithburgh, Coobowie is the perfect place to unwind after a morning of caching.
The foreshore park offers a wide variety of playground equipment to keep the kids entertained, along with public toilet facilities. Easy access to the sandy beach is available through the childproof gates, making it a great spot for the whole family.
We'll be firing up the barbecue with a complimentary sausage sizzle for lunch, along with a selection of snacks to help you recharge after your morning adventures. Please remember to bring your own drinks.
There will be games and activities throughout the event. We'll also have plenty of prizes and giveaways, so everyone will head home with something.
We'd love to see you there as we wrap up the weekend of caching here on the Yorke Peninsula in Coobowie!

`YORKE PENINSULA CACHING HISTORY
The first caches placed on the Yorke Peninsula happened on 19/11/2001 & they were Yarrabee Park (GC2909) & Gulf-View (GC290B) both by Team Piggy. These were both on the Upper Yorke Peninsula near Kulpara. The next ones after that were Yorke's First (GC3637) placed by Sam and Jedda & as well as She'll Be Right! (GC3608) placed by Liz and Bruce. These were both placed on a few months later on 27/01/2002 and were both placed on the southern end of Yorke Peninsula. The First Multi cache that appeared was placed a day later by Liz and Bruce called Butlers Revenge (GC360A). Unfortunately it has since been archived. An early Event was held just north of Paskeville called SA-Geocachers Summer BBQ. (GC937B) It was attended by 20 teams and held on 1/12/2002. In 2003 we had a Virtual Cache placed in Moonta called Moonta's Himalayas (GCH9FY) by The Rats and is still available now. The First Puzzle/Unknown cache was Brentwood"a" Triangle Complete (GCPP8W) by voogoofish in 2005. An Earth cache was added to the peninsula by Team Crackers in 2009. It was called A Blast From the Past (GC1T7NE). It wasn't until 2012 before the Yorke Peninsula got it's first Letterbox Hybrid with YP Mail (GC3QFEN) placed by me (Dazzzatron). The YP has also been host to the SA's longest running yearly event known as the June LWE Event 3 times firstly being held in Maitland in 2009 then in Kadina in 2011 and finally in Edithburgh in 2017. As you can see there is a lot of geocaching history here on the Yorke Peninsula so get out and EXPLORE THE YORKE.
