Geocache film fest for adventurers
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?
