This page contains information specific to Geocaching Australia.

A Challenge Cache requires other geocachers to achieve a goal or challenge set by the geocache owner and then when qualified, to find the physical geocache hidden by the cache owner. Challenge Caches encourage geocachers to set and achieve fun goals that can reasonably be achieved by geocachers in your area and the Challenge Cache is an attraction to the area. Challenge Cache challenges should be restricted to information that can be obtained from existing or new statistics on the Geocaching Australia website.

Before you think of applying for a Challenge Cache, please consider the following which may be applied by the Challenge Cache administrators when determining if your Challenge Cache is worthy.

• Would you readily qualify for the challenge?
  i.e. Only set challenges that you would personally like to achieve.
• Is there a challenge cache in your area where a very similar or identical challenge cache already exists?
  i.e. Avoid flooding the same areas with the same sorts of challenges.
• Is the challenge cache appealing to and is attainable by a reasonable number of cachers in your area?
  You don't need to list them, just think about whether this will be an attraction or a distraction to the area and whether people are likely to try and attempt it or it's too far out of reach.
• Is your challenge cache positive and require that a geocaching goal be achieved?
  Avoid negative goals in achieving challenges.
