Welcome to GQ CacheFest 2026, proudly hosted in the heart of the South Burnett, Kingaroy, Queensland’s Peanut Capital planned for the October Long Weekend 2026 (3rd – 5th), shell we begin?
While formalities and procedures are still underway, we can officially say that, in a nutshell … it’s going to be epic. At this stage, please consider this a “Save the Date” announcement, with more details to follow once approvals are finalised. What we can confirm so far:
A brand new GeoArt planned for the area
Several new Adventure Labs
A weekend program including a dinner event and entertainment
We will also have information packs available for those who register a “Will Attend” on the event listing (when it goes live).
Accommodation has been secured at the Kingaroy Showgrounds, including Powered and Unpowered sites. There are also additional accommodation options available throughout Kingaroy and the broader South Burnett region.
The area offers a wide range of short and long touring opportunities, making it an ideal destination for a full weekend (or longer!) of caching and exploring.

Geocaching Queensland is kicking off the year and hosting two Think Tank events.
This is an opportunity for members and geocachers to come together and help shape the future of the association. While the committee has plans, ideas, goals, and targets, this is your chance to have a say, share what interests and motivates you to keep caching and staying involved.
The events in Brisbane and Townsville will include an open discussion and an idea sharing session, capturing suggestions from attendees. Whether you have big ideas or just want to listen and learn, your input is valued.
The events will also include an update on where the association has progressed so far, along with a small teaser of what’s ahead on upcoming plans and future events.
See our events page for further details.
