In the hands of a local cacher now for 3.5 years.....probalby long enough to wait for it be to be relocated.

With the current May-tenance month underway to clean up our database, this one should probably be archived

NO LONGER AT THESE CO ORDINATES BUT IN THE HAND OF A LOCAL CACHER.

This one and his friends have been handed over to a local cacher as some of them are unique and can not be just left in the bush. About time I found a spot to hide this one and I decided that I had better get a move on and as I had three to hide closer to civilisation for the 2013/2014 moveable Cache race today was the day.

Will Move this one on soon.


Found very close to home with the assistance of some very friendly ACT cachers. Do not get to find too many of this type of cache as not that many are hidden or come to my part of Queensland. Thanks for the novel cache (moveable. ) Signed log YOF as this is what I use on small logs instead of youngoldfella. Love the kookaburra and just by chance it is prominent with the OZ Mega 2014 at Murray Bridge SA Will Move this one on soon.

Out with Just a cacher to conduct a federal intervention on the Gnome Gnation.

A quick grab in some beautiful but chilly countryside today.

Thanks for the cache.

With Black Bunny in the mountains, rounding up gnaughty gnomes. It was very windy and consequently fairly cool, but fun!

Left in place, waiting for the next cacher.

Found on a second day forage within the Gnomelands ... fearful of retribution from the Disenchanted Gnomes, taken in hand only for a photo op. Not a ruffle to Kev's 'feathers'. TFTC Very Happy

Kev the Kookaburra has joined with a group of disenchanted Gnomes in the occupation of this tract of land, the aim being to secede from Australia and create their own independent country.
However with Gnomes in charge this may turn into a dictatorship, it remains to see if emmigration is greater than immigration.

Kev the Kookaburra has joined a mass exodus of moveables led by renegade Gnomes, who knows what they plan to do? They are all in hiding for now while hatching their nefarious plans. No point looking for any of them they are nowhere to be found until they are ready to reveal their ultimate goal.

Poor Kev was found in his box lying on the ground, cast aside like garbage. Someone or something evicted him forcefully from his hole. No damage done , his box was a little damp . Hes resting up in the nice dry garage after some time in the sun. Cute little birdie.
