Geocaching in NSW

Please visit the The NSW Dashboard to find Upcoming Geocaching Events, New caches, Unfound caches and the Most Often Recommended caches.

Geocaching NSW

The Geocaching Association of NSW is an association that was started in 2009 to represent cachers in this state and to be a point of contact for other bodies. NSW Parks and Wildlife Service have been meeting with Geocaching NSW to discuss a policy for caching in national parks. You can find out more about the association and the NPWS discussions on the website http://www.geocachingnsw.asn.au/

Recommended Caches

Geocaching Australia has a "Recommendation" function in which finders of the cache can recommend a particular cache to others. Of course, this is based on the preferences of individual geocachers but it's often a good guide to the best caches. You can see a list of all the Recommended Caches in NSW here

You can also check out the wiki on how the Recommended Cache system works Recommended_cache.

Hiders Choice

Geocaching Australia also has a Hider's Choice cache which is a cache that the hider believes warrants special attention to those seeking caches in the area. You can see a list of all the Hiders Choice Caches in NSW here

You can also check out the wiki on how Hiders Choice works Hiders_choice_cache.
