This event is for no particular reason, or perhaps it is for a few good reasons:
- It's an opportunity to get out of the rat race for a few hours or so with like minded semi-sane others
- A chance to pick the brains of Puzzle Owners for those dastardly confusing ones (not me, mine are all easy honest)
- A planning session for a more remote mountain, canoe trip, scuba dive, power trail or bike ride, or something else needing planning
- The opportunity to meet an international geocacher or two coming all the way from the mother country, England, just for this event
- To drop off some trackables or geocoins that have been weighing down your pack too long. And to pick up some new ones perhaps, inclusing some that may be winging their way back from the UK, or to/from southern NSW.
- To drink coffee (a good reason in my books) - there'll be other liquids and solids available as well.
- To discuss ideas for a new cache hide, a new puzzle, a new cake design or a new quilt perhaps.
- To reminisce on caches past or planned, trips, challenges undertaken, or perhaps missed.
- To get ideas for new challenges and new goals.
- To just hang out with mates new and old as we celebrate our passion.
- To get another smilie on your cache numbers, every smilie counts.
Or come along for some other reason, we aren't fussy.
If you are new, or never been to an event before, then this is most certainly FOR YOU! Don't be scared, we don't bite (well, not at first, when's Halloween again?). Kids, grandparents, guide dogs (but sadly no other animals please), muggle partners, friends dragged along against their will - all most very welcome.
Buses pass along Gympie Road regularly, there is a stack of free parking at the back and a lot of cachers won't mind dropping you off somewhere afterwards. It's a little walk from the Train stations (Geebung is probably closest) ... but what's a walk to a cacher?
