Which Geocaches 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.

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

Physicially Challenging Geocaches

Some caches can take less then 5 minutes to find, some you dont even have to get out of the car for. Easy is easy but hard is fun!

These caches set the standard for being physicly hard to find or to get to
