Anniversary HAVOC
Tuesday, April 20th, 2010 /

Event GC274EP

Sunday 23 May 2010

May 2010 is the tenth anniversary of geocaching. To mark the occasion, HAVOC is holding a 10 Years event close to the Lower Hunter Valley oldest surviving geocache – Hunter Valley Vista GC2606.

The event is a perfect opportunity for new geocachers in The Hunter to pick up some tips on finding and hiding geocaches.

The event will be at Mount Sugarloaf. BBQ facilities are available at the picnic ground, along with toilets and shelter, as HAVOC events attract rain.

The event will commence at 11am and finish around 2pm.

There are four geocaches within a short walk of the BBQ area if you have not already found them.

Next HAVOC Event
Friday, April 09th, 2010 /

I think that HAVOC should have an anniversary event to celebrate 10 years of caching. I thought that we could hold it up at Sugarloaf as Hunter Valley Vista GC2606 is the oldest surviving cache in the Lower Hunter placed 3 November 2001.

I had also planned to have an overnight event some stage up near the Barrington Tops. This would allow groups to camp overnight or come up for the day and find a couple of caches in the Tops.

It was also mentioned to me at the OZ Mega Event that Frying Pan GCF1 near Chitchester is the oldest surviving cache in the Hunter. It is also the 7th oldest surving cache in Australia and just outside the top 100 in the world. Perhaps we could join the two and go there are find Frying Pan and make any repairs if necessary.

I am aware that there will be an event at Lane Cove National Park to celebrate the placing of the first cache in Australia, Lane Cove GC3E. We will have to make sure they don’t clash as some may want to go to Sydney for that event.

All suggestions welcome.
