Geocaching Downunder

Aquilus1 and Sacada set themselves one of the biggest geocaching missions you can imagine. First they found a cache in every Local Government Area (LGA) across Australia that has a geocache. Then they took on New Zealand, covering 17 LGAs in just five wild weeks on top of the 539 LGAs in Australia.From bogged vans and daily rain to volcanic islands, black sand beaches, and chance encounters with cops and kiwis, their adventure was as unpredictable as it was unforgettable.This is the story of two friends, years of planning, and the determination to log every available LGA in both countries.Enjoying the show, why not connect with GDU on our socials?You can find us on:YT - https://www.youtube.com/c/GeocachingDownunderFB - https://www.facebook.com/GeocachingDownunderIG - https://www.instagram.com/geocachingdownunder/T - https://twitter.com/GeocachingDUWant to support the number 1 Australian Geocaching Podcast?
