Description
TiedyeSmileys' Genome ready to gnome forth where no gnome has gnomed before.
I'm a Ge-gnome. THE MOVEABLE CACHE RACE 2010/2011 My name is Wobbly TiedyeSmileys Gnome. I love to Tie Dye. I love to cache. I love to wobble. So move me around from place to place. Put me in some cool park for the next cacher to find. Then lets be photographed together for my online album. You can watch my progress here:

We have passed Wobbly onto a close geocacheing friend, where he is hitching a ride interstate. Stay tuned for more

Found Wobbly resting in a tree in Inglewood, watching the trains go by
We have taken him home for a few days where we have taught him the harmonica and how to reel in the ladies

Collected Wobbly from the organisers of the Wedderburn event and relocated him down to Inglewood.
He is now resting within the base of a multi trunked gum tree just up from the brick retaining wall of the old railway turntable and very close to a .com geocache container below the wall.

Spotted on Wazza's verandah. He is still as colourful as ever. (Wobbly not Wazza)TFTC
Another GC Event, this time in Wedderburn. Today we had to duck over to Shepp then back to Wedderburn via Bendigo. Of course, a few caches were found along the way...
We stopped and collected Wobbly to take to the Event on Sunday (3/6/12).
He's sitting on the verandah of our cabin at the caravan park in Wedderburn till then.
Thanks TieDieSmileys.

He's out with the old blokes 'Log' on the calder.
After catching up with Camo Gnome, Wobbly is now watching the trains while waiting to catch a lift to the next spot.
We picked this cute Gnome up near the old Geelong Teachers College (at S38 07.365 E144 19.920) at night - who knows how the hell he got there, lying under a bush!
It took a while to track down which Gnome it was, but recognised Whitepaws9 name in the cache log and were then able to track back through on-line logs.
We'll send him on his wobbly way.

Evil gnomes gathering to overthrow frogs that are invading their turf
This cute little gnome had been left in a spot where I hid my frog so I thought I had better go get him and move him on!

The ageing Bushfire was invited to tag along on this very long nights caching trip where the other two cachers picked up about 45 caches and dropped me back at my cachemobile close to #3am and then they had the trip back to Melbourne.
I got lucky at this guys hidey spot,did a bit of maintenance and returned him, a good night adventure, thanks for the cache.

When I told jsmyong55 that I was heading down to some night time caching east of Geelong he said he was in. Prior to leaving we worked on a few of the puzzles in the week before we left to make sure we could maximise our finds. I think in the end we ended up with about 45 for the night, so we were very happy with our efforts. In Geelong we met up with a local cacher, Bushfire and his caching stories amused us as we zipped between caches. This was one of the caches found tonight. The log was wet so a new nano was provided. Thanks for the gnome.

Finally its time for our Geelong night caching run. We had spent some time on preparing for this trip, solving the puzzles beforehand so that we were able to pick them off once we headed down here. We had another local cacher Bushfire come on board with us to do some caching too. He was one that I have had contact with via email but had not met up before. Nice ol' bloke he was. Almost all the caches he has cleared out the already so he left us to do what we came for while he watched. Travelling in between we exchanged stories of caching adventures, some of which are pretty amusing. In the end, we bagged around 45 and headed home tired in the wee hours of the morning.
This was one of our finds that night. Bushfire made this find when we overlooked it the first time. It was his first GA gnome cache. TFTC

Found Wobbly while looking for another in the Wandering Heroes series. Given our movements over the next few days, we will leave Wobbly in place for another to find. Great gnome, great character.
Collected this gnome while looking for a wandering heroes cache. Nice Surprise to find under the big Rocks near the cache.

Dropped off Wobbly TiedyeSmiley Gnome a metre or two from "GC2QE2M Wandering Heroes ... Spuddymoore" during our caching run of the Wandering Heroes series.
Picked up Wobbly TiedyeSmiley Gnome with his back against the wall at MtB's McD. Will move him on to a nice new spot some time soon!
Back to civilisation you go, little fellow!
Most Sundays will see Ingrid & I stop off for a Mocha from a McD's Cafe and today was no exception.
This guy has been with me for long enough, so off he went into the garden.

This was in the middle of nowhere - but there's lots of caches around here so we were in the area, and picked this guy up.
Very colourful!

After a couple of days dodging limestone rocks on the bike it was time to leave Wobbly at Gazzas' gate to watch the traffic pass and hopefully enjoy the dry air for a spell!
A beautiful morning for a brisk walk up the hill [^]
Despite the chilly temperatures the sun was out and the views from here were great.
Lag was very damp, so dried it out and moved wobbly somewhere a little less wet!
Cheers

I took Wobbly for a walk up a hill to find the mischevious Calvin.
Wobbly was buried under a pile of rubbish along the Torrens. Fortunately, I found both bits and put him back together.
Kitty Too was Sad to move this guy on. He stopped by to check out the Torrens River with Gnick Gnack. He was really interested in one of the bushes that had a lot of debris and rubbish stuck in it from when the river flooded.
He is now overlooking the apples and pears ....
Found him sun-baking at the beach... i applied sunscreen and left him to work on his tan
Headed down to Port Elliot for the Seaside Three Event and of course grab some caches on the way down and the way home
Had a hunt around the bushes and found him there waiting.

Had a good hunt around the only bush there but no luck - someone must already have it

He spent a little time with spade and told us a story before we dropped him off. You will find him just where you think if you look carefully
Thank you very much for this gnome. I really like this one and i think it might be my favourite one yet. [written by our 7 y.o. daughter] . it is not inside the fence.
This one was fun! It was pissing down and I had a 140m sprint from the carpark.... GO! After 5 steps it was all over, a bit like the dash from the trenches in Gallipoli. Made it, and didnt really have time to look around, and there was really only one possibility... oh well, what the heck... YES! And a cache but too wet to sign the cache (I will be back), SPrint to the car. 3rd gnome in an hour. Good night for gnome hunting
Wobbly fell off the wagon again.
After 3,841 rounds of singing "Ten green bottles" he wobbled through these parklands, found a comfy home and curled up for a wee kip.
When you find him, make sure you lock up your liquor cabinet!

Found Wobbly hiding under a bridge. He must've had too much to drink, got a bit wobbly on the way home and camped here for the night.
Cam, Lym & Al arrived for an intervention and soon had Wobbly on the wagon. Now it's off to somewhere drier!
