We are kicking off 2026 with a bang.

For the first episode of the year, PurpleCacheEater and cosmonaut97 kick off 2026 with special guest Beautifulsky13, the force behind It’s Raining Caches 2026.

On 14 February 2026, hundreds of brand new caches will publish across Australia at the same time. One day. One drop. Smilies everywhere.

We get into what IRC26 is, why cache owners from all over the country are jumping in, and why your watchlist is about to go wild. Big numbers, quality hides, and that buzz you only get when the map lights up like a freshly found ammo can.

If you plan to play, travel, or just want front row seats to one of the biggest cache drops Australia has seen, this is where you start.

Christmas has landed at GDU and we are wrapping up the year with plenty of laughs, stories and shiny new finds. This month, PCE is joined by John and Di from Geostuff.com.au for Tinsel, Trackables and Tall Tales, our annual festive catch up full of all things geocaching.

We will be chatting about the fun that shaped 2025. From your favourite souvenirs and the moments that earned them, to standout events, tricky Treasures and the memorable caches that had us all reaching for our GPS like it was a Christmas pav. If you love a bit of geochat mixed with seasonal cheer, this one is made for you.

Expect light hearted stories, a few cheeky surprises and the kind of cache chatter that feels like gathering around the tree after a long year of adventures. It is the perfect way to close out another big year of finding, hiding and exploring across Australia.

Tassie is calling, and this one’s making history!

This month, PCE is catching up with Andy and Tracey from the Subcommittee behind The Tassie Event, happening 7–8 March 2026 in sunny Sorell. It’s set to be the first ever Mega in Tasmania, the furthest south Mega in Australia, and home to what’s believed to be the furthest south Maze in the world!

We’ll be chatting about everything you’ll want to know before making the trek. From the event trail kicking off in the north-west, to clever gadget caches, stunning GeoArt, and adventure labs that’ll make your GPS sing. Plus, there’s no shortage of jaw-dropping landscapes, quirky towns, and cheeky caches waiting to be discovered across the Apple Isle.

If you’ve ever dreamed of taking your caching adventures as far south as they can go, this is your sign.
