He like to move it, move it
We like to move it!

Just like the words to “I like to move it” by Reel 2 Reel as featured in Madagascar, this month we would love to see you move it, move it… to some of the August events scheduled

August Events

August is finally upon us, as is some warmer weather and days with more sunshine. We have a record number of events being hosted in August – we have over 20 to chose from, including:

  • Whittlesea Lead Up Event on Saturday 14th August GC9WKN8 
  • The Great Victorian Cache Crawl on Saturday 20th August (Multiple Locations)
  • Welcome to the Newbies – Whittlesea Lead Up Event on Sunday 28th August GC9WKN8 

Be sure though to check out the events page for a full listing for all scheduled events.

August Move it Competition

So what does move it, move it have to do with events you ask? I am so glad you did. The August competition is to submit or post a video of yourself or your caching team moving… or should I say dancing…. (either on a Facebook post or blog comment below)

The clip needs to go for at least ten seconds to be eligible and filmed whilst caching or attending an event during the month of August 2022. For a little bit of inspiration, I asked The Welder aka Ross to share his cache dance rendition filmed recently on a road trip with heymissjo.

We look forward to your own cache dances! For further inspiration, check out the Cache Pants Dance clip by the Geocaching Vlogger

July BernieH Competition

A massive thank you (especially from BernieH) on everyone who participated in his July Challenge of finding a cache on his remaining unfound cache date. He was super excited to complete the grid. A special should out must go to horror.fan.jm who won best log – congratulations! Here is a link to the winning entry. We will be in touch with you shortly to organise your prize.

Juicy July Goss!

We have offically passed solstice, so I for one am looking forward to the warmer days and longer days of sunshine!! Despite the weather, it has been great to see so many events occuring over the past month and we loved seeing your photos, so thank you for sharing! June’s Event Photo competition winner is Cracknleelee. We will be in contact soon with details of your prize.

What is amazing though, we appear to have more events scheduled in July than we did last month, so if you have a free weekend, make sure you check out all the events on offer.

BernieH’s July Challenge

For the month of July, we have a special challenge… one set by our lovely committee member Bernie Hollaway. As I am sure most of you know, he has been caching for the past ten years and has achieved so many milestones but he has one that has elluded him for some time that he would love to achieve……. and for anyone who loves data, numbers and challenges, will appreciate this.

Bernie has one final date left in his “Placed caches by found date” – which means for all the caches he currently has hidden (over 100 active caches), they have been found on every calendar day EXCEPT ONE!! That key date is 11th July!!!

And so the challenge for the month is, you need to find a BernieH cache on the 11th July and the winner will be the best found log for a find on that day on a BernieH hide! To help you with this challenge, we have created a BernieH cache list – https://coord.info/BMB60XG

Winter is definitely upon us with colder days and shorter hours of sunlight, but hopefully everyone is managing to still get out and find those caches!

A big thanks to all those who contributed to the Kudos month of May – it was great to see so many in our community recognised and celebrated and if you didn’t get to read them, it is well worth going through the great posts.

We have two special winners for May… firstly from all the geocachers that nominated, our winner was Noam (leafotwind) and for those nominated it was Peter (MisterDoctor). We will be in touch soon to organise your monthly prize congratulations.

Now with June upon us, we launch our new competition. During the month of June, we have a number of events schedule across Victoria – we are hoping that you can attend one, take a photo and share it of your group. We would love to see a photo from a June event, but all 2022 event photos will be accepted as part of the competition.

Please note, any pictures shared may be used on our website or publications. We look forward to seeing your group photos.

Firstly a massive thank you to everyone that participated in the March competition – we had a great response both to those hunting the hidden trackable, but also to the website. We loved reading your feedback. The winner of our competition is cathlud. Congratulations on your win, we will be in touch shortly.

But of course, it’s not over yet – as we are happy to announce the April Competition. With so many new virtuals being published over the past few weeks, we thought that it would be great to share and promote the new virtuals released as part of release 3.0.

To enter the competition, you have to find a Virtual cache within Victoria and share the link to the log below. Over recent years there has been three releases of Virtuals since the original release in 2000-2005. Below is a link to the active ones, with release 3.0 the latest.

If you do happen to find a Virtual that is not listed above, please let us know and we can add it. Good luck! We look forward to reading about all your virtual finds logs. A winner will be randomly selected at the end of the month.
