Cache of the Year Returning for 2026
After having a year off we are relaunching West OZ's Cache of the Year.
This year we asked our community to nominate caches of any type that have been published between 1st January 2025 and 31st December 2025.
West OZ has created a booklist to encourage members to find the nominated caches before casting their vote in August in time for WAGB 26.
