WHAT IS GEOCACHING?

Geocaching uses Global Positioning System Enabled devices to navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location.

Anyone can join and basic membership is free. Register at

www.geocaching.com

to find out more about this fun activity that more than 6 million people world-wide are enjoying.

If you don’t have a dedicated GPS navigation device then the free Geocaching Intro App can be down-loaded to your smartphone from the Apple Store or Google Play.

All our Central Tourist Precinct geocaches are classed as traditional with a low degree of difficulty. Part of the trail is moderately steep with uneven ground surfaces in some sections.
