Geocaching
Geocaching is an outdoor game in which participants use a global position satellite (GPS) receiver to find hidden caches, known as geocaches.
There are currently more than half a milllion geocaches hidden around the world, and more than 13,000 across Australia and close to 4000 in NSW alone.
