Description
A leather bound manuscript to record the mark of cachers in Australia
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but nothing is quite the same as a physical record that someone has left behind. Yes, we can all type in Times New Roman or Arial, but seeing the actual marks rendered by another has an allure not equaled by typed print.
When you find a cache it's enjoyable to sit down and have a quiet read of the log book. See who has previously found it, check out their "mark"(e.g. sticker, drawing, stamp) and any other tit-bit they felt like mentioning at the time. One I particularly enjoyed was Alien Abduction (GC1B0F) by GeoMonkeys. I had it for a few days so I got to read the whole log - so did my kids, sometimes cache mate Bensel, and two other mates that I went camping with during the "abduction" period - all were impressed with its travels and stories within.
However, most times when you find a cache you can't spend the time to read the whole log - muggles, missions, the plan for the day, other commitments and the fact that the log has to stay at the cache preclude the study one would often like to make of the log-book.
This log book is different! Do take it home and study it at your leisure while you determine its next move ... but not for too long, there are a lot of people to record in this log!
It has been wrapped and placed in two containers in order to preserve the book in as good a condition as possible. Please take care when repacking the Omnibus.
The Omnibus is NOT to leave Australia. It can be claimed as a cache here and tracked as a travel bug on geocaching.com. It can therefore be passed from cacher-to-cacher in order to attend events and collect the "marks".
The intent is to gather as many Australian Geocacher logs as possible so please keep me safe and assist achieve this goal - for example attendance at events would be good.
If I get too full, please contact my owner and arrangements will be made for Volume II.
Logs
Last seen in 2014 when I'd only been geocaching for about a month. A wonderful curio!
This trackable was last logged in 2019? Seems odd but hey I'm going to claim some 'unloved' for this one!
Cheers!

We had signed the logbook of this old cache last year at the 'A Winter Walk By Brisbane Water' event. For some reason we didn't log it.... fixed today, when we spotted it again at the HAVOC Christmas Party event at Pelican. Thanks for keeping this one going.....
Heading to the Havoc Christmas Party
Back home again waiting for the next event.
At our camp, as it is a discover only you will need to visit while we are there.
Back home again, coords are approximate.
I was introduced to this item at the 'GCA Clans Catchup at Clear Waters' but I did not realise it's significance until I was logging it. I added my name to the log.
Thank you 'Shifter Brains' for showing me this item.

We were honoured to be able to inscribe our names into this historic GA moveable, which was in the hands of its carers Shifter Brains when we met them at Sugarloaf, while on the GeoTrek of the OZGeoMuster at Lake Macquarie. Thank you for sharing this well loved and cared for cache. Cheers. Jo and Glen, chooknchunk, Beaufort VIC.

The coordinates are only approximate (1 dp) close to where the cache is. Please do not go knocking on the door of the house where the coordinates are. This cache is more of a TB than a moveable.
We are the maintainers of this moveable/TB with the owners approval as he is not really involved anymore. (See log in April 2011)
We hold onto the cache and take it to events as it was 'lost' and archived at one stage.
It does not get released into the "wild".
We try to get to as many events as possible. We are planning on attending the Super Moon event that is coming up at Norah Head so you should be able to catch up with it there.

Discovered at the OzMega2014 event. Seen on the table amongst all the TBs which were for discovering but not to be moved. This is an awesome cache/trackable. I loved the fact that it was a handmade book. Signed on 19/4/14 - just sorry I did not have a fountain pen or similar.

We took it to an event a couple of moths ago but all in attendance had already signed it. It will be at the next event we attend (unforntunately we had commitments when the Christmas events were on) and will definitely be at the OZ Mego event in Murray Bridge.

I see the coords for this land in the middle of a house, last find Feb 2013. I'm interested to look/see/move etc this cache, but curious: is it a knock on the door cache, or hidden outside? I'm just not sure what's the go here, thanks
I found this great old cache at the Geotrek 2013 event at Brooklyn when Shifter Brains brought it along for us to see and sign. Great idea, thanks Grank

Back with us again. Will soon be home near the posted coords.
I finaly spotted this among the TB's on the table at Oz Mega, just wish I'd had more time to read it on the day.
Hopefully it will come my way again and I can do so then - there was just too much happening at the time to sit down and enjoy the read.
