Geocaching in QPWS Managed Areas
Queensland National Parks and Wildlife Service have released [1] a Geocaching Policy [[2]] and associated Geocaching Activity Guidelines [[3]] which provide for the approval process to place geocaches within land managed by QPWS.

The local QPWS will advise you if on suitable placement and if a formal Application Form[[4]] is to be lodged or if alternative approval processes apply for that area.
