The SA Armour Museum and Geocache

Getting Started with Geocaching

Geocaching (pronounced geo-cashing) is a worldwide game of hiding and seeking treasure. A geocacher can place a Geocache in the world, pinpoint its location using GPS technology and then share the Geocache's existence and location online via the Internet. Anyone with a GPS device can then try to locate the Geocache.

The SA Armour Museum is home to one of these Geocaches and it has been visited many times since it was placed in the Museum in 2006.

There are a number of Geochaces around the School of Armour area, there are more than 100 geocaches in the Bloemfontein city area.
