Geocaching has been practised in Australia for nearly as long as it has in the USA.

The first recorded cache in Australia, Lane Cove, is located in Sydney and was hidden on 18 May 2000 by Paul Edwards (aka "kerravon"). Paul, however, is not the first Australian geocacher. That honour goes to Victorian cacher George (aka "george71"), who planted that states' first cache, the appropriately named Melbourne's 1st on 8 October 2000.
