Description
A travelling container designed to gather Australian Geocacher signature items from all over Australia.
One of the fascinations of caching is the many signature items you find. Unfortunately, if you cache in one area, or even in one state, it is likely that you will only see a selected few of these items that numerous Geocachers have selected to "leave their mark".
This Trove is designed to travel Australia (i.e. it does not leave Australia) and be the receptacle of Australian Geocacher signature items. The intention is to give other cachers interested in these objects the opportunity to sift through the (hopefully) many trinkets deposited by fellow cachers.
If you wish to "find" this cache just add to the collection of signature items. If you do not have a signature item, improvise - maybe just drop in a personal note, but be prepared, there is no log in this container.
Note that you cannot remove or swap items.
This Trove can also be tracked as a TB on geocaching.com.
Please don't leave this in a cache, pass it on in person to another geocacher at an event or other gathering.
Please log the new coordinates when placing the Trove in a new location.

I've seen this truly amazing trackable / movable cache a few times now, but this is the first time I have been organised enough to add my name and to note the GCA code.

Another one we signed last year at the Brisbane Water walking event (1 July 2018), but never logged. We had another look at it at the HAVOC Christmas Party today, thanks very much.
Heading to the Havoc Christmas Party.
Back home again waiting for the next event.
Spotted at Ozgeomuster2019 in Wollongong. Thanks for releasing it. Hope it achieves its goal!
At our camp, as it is a discover only you will need to visit while we are there.

I was introduced to this item at the 'GCA Clans Catchup at Clear Waters'. I added a piece of paper with my stamp on it to the collection of signature items.
Thank you 'Shifter Brains' for showing me this item.

We were honoured to be able to add our chooknchunk-stamped piece of paper to 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.

Found and logged today at a GC Event in Umina. It's too bad we were out of our novo PTs as I would have placed one in our log. Never mind. Really interesting flicking through the log. TFTC, Grank, and thanks to Mrs Shifter for bringing to the event.

We are very happy to have Trove in our possession. It will be traveling with its sister cache Geocacher's Omnibus, and visiting events with us, including Oz Mega at Stanthorpe.
Picked up from madchilli for a tour of the North West. Most interesting cache and concept.
If any cachers would like this cache to pass on or take to an event please email me, I can deliver around most of Launceston or Devonport or most places between. [email protected]
It's back !! We forgot to log this cache when we got it and passed it on to another cacher who lost it in the bottom of their wardrobe for quite some time, after a friendly reminder from GURipper we now have it back in our hands and ready to move on. Please message me if you would like to take this to an event and I will arrange delivery anywhere around Launceston. Alternatively, if you are travelling on the Spirit of Tasmania to the big Island after the 8/1/13, I can have it down there for a trip North (I work on the ship). Sorry about the huge holdup, and what a great cache.

Thank you to whoever it was that brought this cache to the Geosport event. I was hoping it would come north! I love signature items and was very interested to look through the things that had been collected. I added my own pathtag and calling cards; it's an honour to be part of this awesome piece of geocaching history. I hope it continues to travel from cacher to cacher for a long time to come. Thanks!

heeding a sick person call I now have possession of this cache. I will hand it on to Greenish, but is there anyone out there, preferrably the greater Hobart area, who hasn't had this cache in their hot little hands yet?
Passed on to red tag as organised today. red tag will hide or pass on!

Got this "little" guy from Budgietas at 1020hrs. Put it in the car and unfortunately I have returned to the Peninsula without putting it back out there. Will report a move as soon as possible. Great ides for a cache and love the contents. I am in the rpocess of making a card for the log and when finished the cache will be made mobile again.
Thanks to Budge for passing it on and "thanks for breaking my arm with it!!" (Poetic Licence taken in this statement. Cheers; OldSaint.

Forgot to logs this as a find. Can I say I was impressed with the number of items, path tags, stickers, etc that were in the Trove. Actually the trove is getting quite full and my need to stop back to the owner at some stage for a refit out and clean out.
Again

Hi
What a great idea for a movable cache. I am logging at my home coordinates so that the cache shows it location and movement.
I will place in one of my stickers and I have already organised to pass on the Trove to Old Saint
I don't know if he know's whats coming!!!!!

Snatched from Kaatka. I did think I had somewhere to put this until I saw the size, now however I have a very cunny plan and will have to scan the recent recipients to see if my prey has already grabbed this before.
Very much enjoying looking through the collection and can't wait to show my jnr geos tomorrow.
LOVE the idea

found in the possession of Kaatka. Pippamer said she had the ideal hiding spot for this so I'm not moving it, just logging the find. This is an awesome idea
Wow, what a find, a TB that is huge and big enough to be a large cache! What a great idea and love the contents. We will have a great peruse before adding to it and sending it back into the great wilderness of Australia. TFTC and TB.
This cache was dropped off by Ian & Penny at our camp site at Cape Paterson. Will be passed onto another cacher at the event.
Some famouus names on this cache - great idea. Pity Grank isn't in the game any more.

We came across this cache at Intervening Days III in Melton. At first I wondered what an Ammo Tin was doing on the trackables table. Then, I was over the moon when I recognised it as a GCA cache that I had always wanted to find.
The young daughter and I browsed the very interesting contents before leaving one of our signature team pathtags.
Thanks for organising this cache all those years ago. It's great to catch up with a bit of the history of our rather new hobby every now and then.

We had the pleasure, or should that be the honor of picking this cache up at the Yackandanda event over the weekend.
There are some great little bits of interesting 'history' inside.
What a great cache.
Will pass it on when we get home

Received this cache from Youngoldfella while in Nanango. It is now on its way to Wagga.
Being one of the few Goecachers who was around when the AGSIT was created and knew Grank, when he geocached, I'd like to share some thoughts on the original intent of this mobile cache. I know h'ed express the same request if he still followed these logs.
Grank had asked that it only be handed from one geocacher to another, if not at events then when you meet. Unfortunately the e cache listing does not make that clear. Sadly we cannot edit it in Granks absence. As this trove is becomming more and more valuable I'd personally like to ask that every geocacher who handles this cache try and pass it, in person, to another geocacher.
Leaving it out in the cold is only asking for such an excelent peice of geocaching history to be muggled.

Found at 1630. Was not too difficult to locate. Loved the size and then saw why it is what it is. Left my signature items inside the Album. Edited to show that I actually removed this cache from here and will move it along as soon as I can. TFTC

This cache has gone back to school, about 5 mins south of Kingaroy, on the locals route to Toowoomba. An Historic site, it has safe parking and safe area for the Geokids. Take the time to read the historic information, very interesting. 
What a way to brighten a trip for work into Brisbane. Found this one after a bit of scratching around. Have it in hand and will send it on it's way once I get back home. I can't believe how full it is of people giving a bit to tell a story. I'll update this log with the tag, as it is still in the boot of the work car

Have been in this area before with Alkzura hunting a GC cache so we knew exactly where to park. We didn't move the cache but did leave a Tupperware pen. I have recently taken up the cult following and we felt it has become a part of Australian culture over the years hence it's inclusion (and it happened to be in my pocket ).

Found today with NyletaM on our way past. As it had just come from the south and we were heading back south, we decided not to move this one one, but leave it where it is. We left a Tupperware pen as our signature item.

After spending the day celebrating 10 years of geocaching in Australing and enjoying the superb camos to be found at Wingaap caches, I stopped by Totalube's place to pick up this moveable cache. Will post new co-ordinates soon.
Hi All,
I can't make it this weekend, although I wish I could. If anyone can come by Saturday or Sunday Morning then I can hand it over to them.
Send me a PM to organise.

Now I feel guilty for claiming a find here in September of 2009. Not knowing exactly what to expect from my first GCA cache, I assumed (yes I know) that the very worthy position was part and parcel of the experience.
Must dot the tees etc. when it's possible to do so.

Maybe the found logs relate to GC13XB5 listed at the same coordinates. Totalube - if you are joining the group doing the 10 years run along Mt Nebo Road on Sunday, bring this cache along and we would be happy to rehide it for you.
