Hi again, It has taken a little longer than expected, but the Whittlesea Event refunds for Coins, Pathtags, Shirts and camping have now been completed.

Anyone that has ordered anything else (Charity coins, past event coins or pathtags, bandannas or stubby holders), these have now been set for “Pickup at The Wangaratta Event”

If you want your order earlier, please contact Adriaan (adriaan@geocachingvictoria.com.au) and we can arrange either postage (A small fee involved) or pickup at a geocaching event once these are allowed in Victoria again.

If you have not received a refund but believe you should have, please email Bernie (treasurer@geocachingvictoria.com.au) and we’ll look into it.

Hi All, just a quick note to let you all know that The Whittlesea Event refunds due to the cancellation of this years event have begun. Anyone that ordered Whittlesea event Geocoins, Pathtags, Camping or Shirts will be receiving a refund for these items. These refunds should be complete by the end of this week, but we need to work with Paypal for orders older than 120 days so it is taking a bit longer than expected.

If you did order items not related to The Whittlesea Event, these have been set for pickup at The Wangaratta Event next year. Alternatively you can have them posted for an additional fee, contact Adriaan for details or questions adriaan@geocachingvictoria.com.au

If by the end of this week you have not recieved a refund but believe you should have, please email our treasurer with your order number and details at treasurer@geocachingvictoria.com.au

We will post another announcement once we believe all refunds have been completed.

Whittlesea Event Cancellation & 2021 MEGA Announcement

Hello all.

After much discussion between Geocaching Victoria and the Whittlesea Organising Committee it is with some disappointment, but with the safety of the geocaching community in mind, and the current stage of disaster in Victoria, that we have decided to postpone the 2020 Mega Event. The Whittlesea Event will still occur at a date to be determined.

Unfortunately the committee does not believe this pandemic will be “over” or anywhere near normality for a gathering as big as ours.

I know there are many of you that will be very disappointed, but this decision was not taken lightly.

For those that have ordered Whittlesea merchandise like Geocoins, Pathtags or Event Shirts as well as anyone that was going to be camping onsite over the mega weekend, refunds will be issued (in due course – there are lots to process).

For those that want to have a Victorian MEGA Event to look forward to, we are SUPER excited to announce that the 2021 MEGA Event will be held in the North East of the state, in the beautiful town of Wangaratta. The committee have been busy at work getting things organised and ready. More information can be obtained from our website The Wangaratta Event 2021. We hope to see you all there next year.

It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for!! The Whittlesea Event pathtags are ready to order! Based on Whittlesea landmarks and surrounds, they are the perfect new additions to your collection.

As with our previous events, they are available as a complete set for $25, or as a trading set for $15 (5 copies of the SAME pathtag). The latter gives you the added bonus of meeting like minded pathtag collectors as you congregate at the event to swap your new purchases.

Click here to pre-order!

(Pathtags can be collected at The Whittlesea Event, or shipped after 16 Nov 2020)
