Geocaching Australia Tours have arrived (Beta Tours only)
http://geocaching.com.au/tours/
Tours started at Geocaching Australia in 2011, the first such tourism trail in the world, with the Savannah Way tour. http://geocaching.com.au/tags/view/all/savannah%20way/ At that time the geocaches were collected together by way of a common tag set and were available by running a query to extract the details. http://geocaching.com.au/my/query/gmap/5864 To call them an organised tour would have been generous, but the framework was there to have the first tours featuring geocaches in the world. Since then there have been other collections of geocaches organised into tours including the gold trails at Ballarat and the Eden tour in NSW. The release of the tour functionality at Geocaching Australia formalised the grouping of a collection of geocaches into a tour, with the landing page, maps, lists, GPX and ZIP file downloads making the experience easier for all and sundry to visit an area or region, grab the geocaches and conduct the tour of the area or region.

Check the two beta tours and let us know whether there are any issues. Then if you think you would like to host a tour during our beta test release, let us know by replying with your geocaching name and your tour idea and we'll add you to the beta tour members.
Once we have all of the bugs ironed out, we'll be opening tours to the general community to create.
Thanks to everyone who was involved in the idea, creation, generation and testing of the tour capability.
