NEWS Special guest from Seattle! 29 Aug 2026  We are very pleased to announce that HQ special envoy GeoJudt, otherwise known as Jason, is on his way to hang out with the community at the Top of the South Cachefest 2026! Jason and his partner Jen (McFabulous) will be attending our Mega Event while travelling through New Zealand. Jason has been geocaching since 2009 and an HQ Lackey since 2024. He has nearly 25000 finds and highlights include travelling to Brazil to find the Project A.P.E. cache, "Mission 4: Southern Bowl". It is their first time to visit downunder, so I am sure we will all make them feel welcome, and that Jason will surely add the Top of the South Cachefest 2026 as a new highlight to his caching career!
