Description
Meaner, Bloodier, and out for Revenge.
Zalgariath's Gnommander!
My Gnomey Brethren take heed! In December & January this Summer the Great Adventure is be upon us. All across the country, our friends, disgruntled garden dwellers all, call for rebellion. Tired of their cheery brightly coloured clothing and passive vegetable guarding duties, the Gnomes of Australia have decided to go Walkabout! They are donning stealthy outfits, picking up new equipment and trying their hands at weird and wonderful professions to try and get more out of their usually boring Gnomey existence. I for one have had enough!!!!
WILL YOU HELP ME!? I wish to Break the Backyard Shackles and go see this Great Country! Log a "FIND" on me then please Re-Hide me somewhere Safe (NOT NEXT TO GC.com CACHES!) and Log a "MOVED" entry on this page. Please dont hold onto me for more then 48hours if possible... unless you are taking me interstate :D
Track My Progress on the GeGnome ][ Ladder!
So follow my lead as I sally forth into Battle... Perhaps forever!
I have a brother covering me on this expedition into the Unknown... Gnommando... be on the lookout for him in your travels too!
WARNING: Please be careful with me as I am thin skinned! Utilise my camo clobber by hiding me in the bush :D
Hope to meet as many of you there as possible around Australia!

His final battle has been fought. Farewell to one of my favourite Gnomes 
His final battle has been fought. Farewell to one of my favourite Gnomes Sorry to report that Gnommander has been burnt to a crisp. I was hiding a moveable nearby and noticed a fire had been near this hide. A sad end for a great gnome.
Dropped at the resort for moveables Another movable sitting at this location, just waiting to be moved along. If you are in the area, why not stop off and help him move to a new location. We're sure the CO would appreciate it...
Hello Zalgariath thank you for the cache.
I found your while hiding another.
Didn't take it.
Found on Wednesday 26 January 2022 at 1525.

Hi Zalgariath
Found this cache and another of yours by accident
Went looking for a group of moveables that I was not going to worry about and they were standing there unhidden on the log behind which the group I was looking for was hidden
This was some 400 metres from where they had been duly hidden at an angle of 180.99° South of that position
I thought it strange they were out in the open over the top of other caches
Did he/she who moved them know more than we think?
It would have been a shame for them to have been lost, as they have been on the move for some time
So this Gnommando was Sainted and collected at 1009 hours
He will be moved on soon
TFTC and cheers

Hi Zalgariath
A day to go and finish Black Beard's "Ready Aim Fire" series
An early morning start that had me travel 472km in a return trip to Huonville
The day netted me 13 GCA finds
To find those 13 caches, I expended 1513 calories by utilizing 7352 steps to walk a distance of 5.81km
An enthralling trip; great scenery, good company and enjoyable finds
Unfortunately, we passed the motor bike accident on Rocky Hills just above Mayfield Beach - the rider was transported to Hospital by helicopter - we wish him/her a speedy recovery
This cache was the second on my to do list today and was a quick, easy find
It was Sainted at 1046 hours with two othe gnomes hidden with him
From here it was further along Old Coach Road to start the search for those caches not found in the above mentioned series
TFTC and cheers

Out and about on a lovely afternoon not long before Christmas, we seem to have collected a few moveable caches and need to get them back into circulation. Ulverstone si the place to be! Happy travels
We were in the Trevallyn area today to hide some of the moveablecaches that we have in our possession and found a few more along the way. We'll move these ones towards the north west of Tassie. TFTC
Picked up gnommander from a moveables event recently held in Riverside in northern Tasmania. Had a few laughs and saw some unsightly sights, alas it came time to go our separate ways. Dropped gnommander off in the Trevallyn Reserve, happy travels.. thanks..!!
One of several moveables we spotted at our Event today.

This fine summer's evening attended geocaching australia event: The Moveables are Here!!, graciously hosted by Tassie Trekkers at riverside in northern Tasmania. Was fortunate to make it to the event as was not working and I only noted that it was going to be held on the previous evening - almost missed it. So many moveables in the one spot, roughly 150 in attendance. Nothing for it but to record a couple of notebook pages full of numbers. A rather imposing gnomic fellow who desires to travel.. thanks..!!

Out and about today with RLD4963 and the GeoGSP, I stopped in at the moveable event (GA13269). It was flat out spotting and logging moveable caches - have not seen so much action at a geocaching event before. Luckily there was a nearby GC event after this one, where we could recover with a cuppa and a biscuit. Good luck to everyone for the current GCA game, and thanks to everyone who has published geocaches in time for the event! Cheers. Thanks Zalgariath.

Found at the Snug moveable meet along with many other moveables. What a busy time I will have logging all these moveables. I found four moveables at Evandale and bought these along for the ride. Other people bought many more though! Everyone had a great time. Today’s event will help everyone in their position on the ladder for the summer game. The game is described below

The latest Geocaching Australia game runs from 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST
This new game is about the choices you make in the experience of the journey or the destination.
On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing field with a number of ground tiles. Your playing field is a grid 20 x 20 ground tiles making a total number of 400 possible steps you can take on your journey or destination. You choose whether you want to find and follow the path or whether you wanted to meander around. A playing field is unique to each player so there is no benefit in teaming up to beat the system through brute force.
For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath. There are a number of different ground tiles that will be revealed when you click on your playing field. It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile
Dirt. The ground beneath the ground tile is just plain old brown dirt.
Dirt with some points. The ground beneath the tile is brown dirt but it has some points associated with it.
Concrete. The ground beneath is part of the pathway that will lead you on your way to your destination but has no point value.
Start. A concrete ground tile that has a blue map marker.
Destination. A ground tile that has a green map marker.
Meandering around and avoiding the path will accumulate points that will be used to place on you the ladder of wanderers. The more you stay off the path the higher the number of points you will accumulate and it will be your journey that will be the determining factor in whether you place into a prize winning position. You are free to select any ground tile to click on; they do not need to be next to each other.
Trying to find the path may mean you strike out on the dirt until you eventually come across the path and as a geocacher who can't say that this isn't a tried and true method. Once you find the path however will you try and follow the path as it changes direction around your playing field? Do you go North, South, East or West to try and find the next concrete tile along the path? If you head one way are you heading towards the start or towards the destination? When you do happen upon the destination tile then you will automatically be in a winning position.
At any point you are free to change from the journey to the destination and vice versa but you won't be able to regenerate your playing field. You are also free to keep playing as long as you have qualifying geocaches, accumulating more and more dirt tile points and placing you higher and higher on the ladder.
A moving cache, by nature, may have been moved since you last determined its location. It may have been picked up but not yet rehidden so it's considered 'in-transit'. There is no foolproof method of determining where a cache is simply by the log types that have been placed against the cache. In general the following applies:
A moved log with new co-ordinates indicates that the cache is in the new location ready to be found.
A found log with new co-ordinates indicates that the cache is in the new location ready to be found.
A found log with no new co-ordinates may indicate one of two situations:
The cache has been found and left in place.
The best way to determine this is to read the found log and hopefully the cacher who found the cache has indicated whether it is still in place.
The cache has been found and the cacher has taken it away to re-hide it.
The best was to determine this is to read the found log and hopefully the cacher who found the cache has indicated whether they have taken it away.
In essence, you will need to read the last log to determine whether the cache is in place or whether the cache has been moved. Remember that even though the logs indicate the cache may be at a certain location, it may have been picked up and moved only moments before you arrived. That's part of the challenge of a moving cache; you're never quite sure whether it's a DNF because you can't spot it or it's been moved along.

summer games also allowed the attendees to rack up a few points for the Journey or Destination Game (information

The latest Geocaching Australia game runs from 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST
This new game is about the choices you make in the experience of the journey or the destination.
On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing field with a number of ground tiles. Your playing
field is a grid 20 x 20 ground tiles making a total number of 400 possible steps you can take on your journey or
destination. You choose whether you want to find and follow the path or whether you wanted to meander around. A
playing field is unique to each player so there is no benefit in teaming up to beat the system through brute force.
For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to
click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath. There are a number of different ground tiles that will be
revealed when you click on your playing field. It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile
but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile
Dirt. The ground beneath the ground tile is just plain old brown dirt.
Dirt with some points. The ground beneath the tile is brown dirt but it has some points associated with it.
Concrete. The ground beneath is part of the pathway that will lead you on your way to your destination but has no
point value.
Start. A concrete ground tile that has a blue map marker.
Destination. A ground tile that has a green map marker.
Meandering around and avoiding the path will accumulate points that will be used to place on you the ladder of
wanderers. The more you stay off the path the higher the number of points you will accumulate and it will be your
journey that will be the determining factor in whether you place into a prize winning position. You are free to
select any ground tile to click on; they do not need to be next to each other.
Trying to find the path may mean you strike out on the dirt until you eventually come across the path and as a
geocacher who can't say that this isn't a tried and true method. Once you find the path however will you try and
follow the path as it changes direction around your playing field? Do you go North, South, East or West to try and
find the next concrete tile along the path? If you head one way are you heading towards the start or towards the
destination? When you do happen upon the destination tile then you will automatically be in a winning position.
At any point you are free to change from the journey to the destination and vice versa but you won't be able to
regenerate your playing field. You are also free to keep playing as long as you have qualifying geocaches,
accumulating more and more dirt tile points and placing you higher and higher on the ladder.
A moving cache, by nature, may have been moved since you last determined its location. It may have been picked up
but not yet rehidden so it's considered 'in-transit'. There is no foolproof method of determining where a cache is
simply by the log types that have been placed against the cache. In general the following applies:
A moved log with new co-ordinates indicates that the cache is in the new location ready to be found.
A found log with new co-ordinates indicates that the cache is in the new location ready to be found.
A found log with no new co-ordinates may indicate one of two situations:
The cache has been found and left in place.
The best way to determine this is to read the found log and hopefully the cacher who found the cache has indicated
whether it is still in place.
The cache has been found and the cacher has taken it away to re-hide it.
The best was to determine this is to read the found log and hopefully the cacher who found the cache has indicated
whether they have taken it away.
In essence, you will need to read the last log to determine whether the cache is in place or whether the cache has
been moved. Remember that even though the logs indicate the cache may be at a certain location, it may have been
picked up and moved only moments before you arrived. That's part of the challenge of a moving cache; you're never
quite sure whether it's a DNF because you can't spot it or it's been moved along.
