Would you like to win something? Maybe add to your pathtag collection, or maybe even start a collection? Well, here's your chance. Enter the Geocaching Australia Weekly Trivia and you’ll be in with a chance to do so. Starting on Wednesday 15 March, we will upload a question here and on our Facebook page for you to answer. The answer will be found somewhere on the GCA site….maybe somewhere in the statistical graphs, maybe somewhere in the dragonZone area. You job will be to simply track it down and send the answer through to us.

Well, our first weekly trivia competition has been run and won.

AND THE WINNER IS....
The winner of our first weekly trivia competition is BUHFUHGUH from Victoria. They were one of 19 who entered the competition via either Facebook (9 entries) or the GCA Forums (10 entries).

Congratulations BUHFUHGUH, your shiny new pathtag is in the mail.

As for the answer, 99% of entries correctly answered MERCHANT as the 4th title level in dragonZone. Just for the record, level 1 is Dragon Fodder, level 2 is Peasant and level 3 is Citizen. Do you know what your level you're currently at? If not, hopefully you can check here to see.

The winner for week 2 was spatialriq from WA. Apologies, it seemed nobody posted the week 3 question in the forums so it only went out on facebook. We will make sure week 4 is posted in here as well.

Our lucky winner for week 3 was Black Bunny.

So... I take it seeing as the last two weeks are not showing up here, that it's not happening here anymore at all?

I think week 4 should be posted shortly, hopefully. Week 3 seems to have finished early as the competitions were finishing on a Wednesday.
