Geocache film fest for adventurer­s

- By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

TREASURE hunts are not just the stuff of childhood, and any geocache enthusiast will agree.

Geocache? It’s an outdoor pastime for families, friends, teams and individual­s which involves roaming far and wide in search of hidden treasures.

There are millions of geocaches globally making it the biggest treasure hunt in the world.

For geocaching Youtuber and Narromine local, Linda Rendell, there’s nothing better than getting outside, armed with some clues and a GPS to go hunting.

Keen for others to know what all the fuss is about, she’s a hosting a public screening of finalist entries in the 2018 internatio­nal geocaching short film festival.

“The competitio­n was held recently. The screening of the finalists is being held simultaneo­usly worldwide and I think the nearest screening is Sydney, so I just thought, why not have one at Narromine?” Ms Rendell told Dubbo

The screening will be held from 10am this Saturday, November 10, at the Third Space/generocity Church, 45 Dandaloo Street, Narromine. Entry is free and the show of about a dozen films will run for approximat­ely one hour.

Ms Rendell actively creates geocaches in this region for others to find.

“I’ve got quite a few set up around the area. There’s one in Dubbo too,” she said. z Geocaching Internatio­nal Film Festival z Third Space/generocity Church Narromine z Entry: free z Saturday, November 10, 10am to 12 noon z www.geocaching­filmfestiv­al.com z www.geocaching.com Where in our area is shown in this satellite image?

“At the Music + Markets/lanterns + Lasers event, we saw record crowds attend,” DREAM Festival chair Anne Field said.

“With almost 15,000 attendance­s counted at the event on Saturday evening, and over 20,000 overall, we believe it is well and truly on the map as a flagship event. Although postcode data is yet to be collated, it is clear the festival is making a significan­t contributi­on to the local economy.”

The successful Westview Drivein, Wellington’s Fong Lee’s Lane and Pub Rock (choir) were among the new activities this year.
