Join Us at The Nest for the Silver Magpie Social Block Party– A 25th Anniversary Celebration of Geocaching!
Mark your calendars for December 6, 2025—you won’t want to miss the Silver Magpie Social Block Party at The Nest in Playford, South Australia. This special event celebrates the Silver Anniversary of Geocaching, right in the heart of Prime Magpie Season. Whether you’re an experienced geocacher or just beginning your adventure, this is an event that brings together geocaching enthusiasts and local explorers alike.
What's All the warbling chatter About?
In true South Australian fashion, we’re ending off the celebration of 25 years of Geocaching surrounded by good company and great weather. Prime Magpie Season is known for its perfect caching conditions, and with the Magpie—our local emblem—keeping an eye on us, it’s the best time to come together and enjoy the thrill of the hunt. (And of course, we can always have a friendly debate over whether the Piping Shrike might be a contender for the title!)
At The Nest, everyone will receive a ticket for the Door Prize draw—so you’re already in the running for something exciting just by showing up!
Fun Activities for Geocachers and Their Mates
- Make and Take Cache Session: Get your creative gears turning and make your own cache to take home. A little birdie has whispered that there could be a prize for the most creative cache design—so let your imagination soar!
- Warble with the Reviewers: Head over to the center of the Nest for a sit-down session with the Reviewers. This is the perfect chance to chat, ask questions, and share your thoughts about geocaching with the experts.
- Shiny Things Show and Tell: Have you been collecting interesting geocaching trinkets or memorabilia? Bring them along and connect with fellow collectors as you swap stories and treasures.
Food, Drinks, and Fun!
You’ll be well-fed and hydrated throughout the day thanks to the local Mischief of Magpies, who will be taking care of the food and beverages from the nearby Community Centre. Whether you're grabbing a snack or sitting down for a hearty meal, you’ll have everything you need to fuel your adventure!
Merchandise & Pre-Sale Excitement
We’ve got some exclusive merchandise lined up for you, but don’t wait until the event! You’ll be able to check out and pre-order gear before Prime Magpie season hits, so be sure to hop on over to the other nest online when the merchandise drops.
Explore History in the Playford Region
This isn’t just a chance to celebrate geocaching—it’s also an opportunity to explore the history of the region! The Playford area, including Gawler and Salisbury, has been home to some fascinating historical sites for over 175 years, and now, you can adventure through the evolution of these townships into the vibrant cities and towns they are today.
Join us at The Nest as we combine history, adventure, and community spirit to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Geocaching in South Australia. It’s going to be an unforgettable day—one that’ll have you talking long after the final door prize is drawn.
So, get your gear ready, pack your enthusiasm, and come celebrate with us!
See you at The Nest on December 6, 2025!
