The 12 Days of Cachemas (TDOC23) is a series of 78 caches, events and adventure labs placed across Victoria to celebrate Cachemas in July in 2023. The series is a joint initiative of Geocaching Victoria and the local community to release caches in a different category each day across the state. We hope you have as much fun finding this series, as we had placing them. Now on to the cache.

The Twelve Days of Christmas is a festive Christian season celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
In some Eastern European churches, the 12 days of Christmas meant attending daily church services. For Christians the 12 days were a time of rededication and renewal. It was also a period when small, simple and usually symbolic gifts of faith were given to children. Thus in both coded poems and public worship, the twelve days were considered a very holy period.
On the First Day of Christmas (25th December), my true love (God) gave to me (to his people), a Partridge in a Pear Tree (Jesus).
