By themd on 03-Aug-24. Waypoint GA27395

Who likes to get outdoors?

Who does not love a challenge!

Well here is one so get out and enjoy yourself!

Who is an icon collector?

Geocaching Australia has a great selection of cache types.

There is a total of 24 different cache types to find!!

A full list is below.

To qualify here your challenge is to have found at least one of each Geocaching Australia cache type.

As of today Aug 2024 I'm still short, need to find a challenge and a night cache.

Sadly no night caches in Victoria at the moment (hint hint! :) )

We'll skip the mega and giga event caches as i think the difficulty here will not have any smileys.

So that's a minumum of 22 different types you have found.

Please provide a list in your log ( a cut and find from your stats page like mine below is enough, don't need to list every find if you don't wish )

Safe travels and good luck!!
