We call him The Rats – and in this episode, we dig into his 24-year adventure across the highs, lows and hidden corners of Australia.Dave (aka The Rats) shares the stories behind some of his most creative hides, the worst caching experiences he’s endured, and the moments that stand out after thousands of finds. We also uncover what keeps him coming back after all this time – and the surprising DNF he rates as one of his best.Enjoying the show, why not connect with GDU on our socials?You can find us on:YT - https://www.youtube.com/c/GeocachingDownunderFB - https://www.facebook.com/GeocachingDownunderIG - https://www.instagram.com/geocachingdownunder/T - https://twitter.com/GeocachingDUWant to support the number 1 Australian Geocaching Podcast?
