Which Caches To Start With

Not sure where to start… Well, start on a cache that’s near to you! Punch in the coordinates for your house so you can get an accurate list of caches nearby and go from there. http://www.geocaching.com/my/home.aspx

If for some reason the caches near you don’t seem too appealing then try these caches, as they are generally quite popular and are located right in the middle of Brisbane.
