Join Geocachers around the globe to celebrate the 10th birthday of EarthCaching.
On the 10th of January 2004 on a headland 3 hrs south of Sydney, Australia the very first EarthCache was 'placed' by Geoaware and his two daughters. It sat for two weeks before it was found by Tankengine. The first log reads:
Chooo ooo *FTF* The family wanted to go to the beach today, and I thought that was a great idea! They had fun in the sand, and I went off to do the cache. It was great! Just a like exploring around the rock pools, but with a geology lesson thrown in! I’ve seen similar formations in the past, and often wondered how the heck they got to be like that, but here all was explained! Fantastic! The only minor difficulty was the initial access from the beach to the rocks, but after that it was easy going. (I think it was high tide).
Whether you love EarthCaches or not, there are over 17,000 of them around the World with the purpose of presenting some lesson on how that place formed, why that place is important scientifically, or what that place can tell us about our planet.
