About Geocaching NSW
The purpose of the association is to represent like-minded geocachers in the state of New South Wales.
The association is looking to develop educational materials, organise events, promote geocaching and possibly run 'educational' workshops on things ranging from finding and hiding a geocache through to getting the most from GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife) or OziExplorer.
The 2009 coin is a beautiful custom NSW shaped coin with the association's logo and mint year on one side and on the reverse, that iconic NSW natural attraction - The Three Sisters at Katoomba. We have even included the GPS co-ords just in case you have trouble finding them.
The coins are trackable and also have their own 2009 custom icon. Proceeds from the sale of the coins will go towards the funding of the association.
These are sure to become a collector's item being the very first coin ever made by the association.
Minted in a stylish gold metal finish, we are sure you will love these coins as much as we do.
Membership of the association is a one-off fee of $25 for individuals and $40 for families or teams.
By becoming a member of Geocaching NSW you are helping support the growth of geocaching in our state.
Funds raised by the association will be used in the production of materials promoting geocaching including the website, provide support and assistance to geocachers, venue hire, assist in discussions with landowners and other interested bodies, and represent the geocaching community in NSW.
