What is geocaching?

Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.

Do you ship outside of Australia?

Yes, but only to New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States, Germany and the Netherlands. This is due to licence agreements on some of our products. The majority of our items we stock can be found in other stores around the world. As we grow our stock and acquisition more unique items we may then look into international shipping for other countries.
