Description
In True Tardis Fashion, this cache will be in one location, mysteriously disappear, only to reappear somewhere else.
You are 'The Doctor' and will responsible for the next location of the Tardis. Even the oh-so-clever, Doctor has some guidelines to follow...
The 'edge of the universe' is within 25km of the Bendigo CBD (traveling to parallel worlds is not possible).
Co-ordinates for the CBD are: S 36° 45.550 E 144° 16.730
If you are unsure of how far away you are from the CBD, enter these co-ordinates into your GPSr and see just how far away it is.
Some other simple guidelines:
When you grab the Tardis please rehide it again as soon as you can.
Log your find here as soon as you can so others are not trying to find the cache you just moved. (A tick)
When logging your find at geocaching.com.au, please insert the co-ordinates in the coords box and log that you have moved it. (An arrow)
This allows the geocaching software to automatically update the new location.
K9 has confirmed that multiple finds is allowed, with two guidelines.
Wait for 7 earth days before searching again.
Ensure that another 'Doctor' has transported the Tardis to another location during this time frame.
The Tardis is a blue telephone box (pencil case), that isn't fully watertight, so place it carefully with this in mind. Unlike 'Time Lord' technology, it is as big on the inside as it looks. It does contain some small swaps as well as a log book and stash note.

hmmm, yes, you would have to travel back in time to find this one, it certainly isnt there in the present.
It seems the space-time continuum has consumed itself, and the Tardis along with it.
We sought the Doctor in all the nearby black holes to no avail. Hopefully another cacher has thrown the Tardis into a fracture in time and it will reappear in another dimension. We suspect not

Heading through Bendigo on the way to Geelong I was directed here to look for this but needed a bit of help locating it. Cache blindness strikes again. As I'm not staying here I left it in situ. TFTC
Oh dear - The Tardis seems to have entered a wormhole or is a space continuum, regardless it is not where we left it. This has been a safe place for a long time so its weird that its gone. All other moveables except for one have been removed from this location pending an alternative arrangement. 
Moved to a familiar location - please keep it local
The Tardis has been travelling across the galaxy for a few days until finding a GCA event in Bendigo late today. After landing on the tailgate of Wwheels' vehicle The Tardis promptly moved on to The Morris's vehicle for another short trip.
Found in the hands of Wazzandwenches at the Bendigo Moveables Meetup.
Magic!

It seems the Tardis has taken a galactic wrong turn and ended up well outside its home galaxy.

Dropped off at the Shepparton Railway Station this morning where it was immediately collected by a Time Lord who will hopefully land it back in the area where it belongs.
Headed down to Melbourne for the Meet the Moveables event at Brimbank Park, where this moveable, along with about 120 other were found. A good turn out at the event and everyone seem to have a lot fun talking about all things caching while finding the moveables and getting a start on the Journey or Destination summer game. A good couple of hours were spent in the area before witching hour rolled around and it was time to head back up the highway towards home. T'was an uneventful trip and with the number of moveable on offer, was certainly worth the drive.
Thanks for the moveable.....

Once agaoin the Tardis is in my possession. Rescued from the Meet the Moveables event at Brimbank Park, miles outside of its zone.
I am trying to return it to the vicinity but this will be dependent upon some time travel manoeuvrability.
In thhe meantime this historic artifact is In my care.

So many moveable. I hate copy paste logs but today I'll will fall. I'll make a separate note on caches I do anything extra with
Not a bendigo traveler so glad this showed up at the event. Hopefully someone take it back to fit in the rules

A quick pickup of moveables today for a secret meeting to take place in just a little while. Your geocache would ike to join the secret activities so it may not move for a little while but it will be safe and sound and will be moved along (and hopefully logged quite a bit) in the not too distant future.

After a short flight around Crusoe Reservoir and the local environs, the Tardis was happy to settle in this lovely area of bushland. Thanks for the exciting trip. Hoping that the next finder enjoys the travel with you as much as we did.
Hmmm fancy letting this Tardis fall into the diabolical hands of Romax. What a sneaky place he left it in. A brilliant red herring of a footbridge nearby which Muggle Hubby searched below, thinking it was the obvious spot. Luckily the coordinates were exact, but the magnet was so strong I couldn’t release the Tardis. Muggle Hubby to the rescue, and the Tardis is zippping around Bendigo as we drive, seeking another safe spot to be located.

With Dr Who's vehicle susceptible to water ingress, as noted in it's "Owners Manual" (ie: cache notes), we have scored another smiley whilst moving it to a more protective parking place, still within it's nominated galaxy!
Replaced damp log book, added a pen, stash note all within a zip lock bag and replaced the magnet.
Please note future finders the magnet is not a swap but part of the container to provide some alternative hiding options!
Thank you again SMILEYPJ we always enjoy following The Tardis's travels within our solar system.
Cheers from,
Romax

Found and moved cache. You will need to uproot to do the same.

We are pleased to report The Tardis is still safely parked waiting for another find/move as we checked in on it on a recent maintenance visit to other nearby caches.

Periodically the Geocaching Australia review team checks moveable caches that haven’t been found or moved in over 90 days.
This moveable fits that brief, however reading previous logs it seems to still be at the posted co-ords and is just sitting there waiting for the next finder to give it a go.
So, if you’re in area why not stop by and check this one out. At this stage the request is that 'The Tardis' remains in the same general location.....but visitors are certainly welcome.

Called in here again today as we were on a cache maintenance run of our own hides located nearby and are pleased to report that all is well with Dr Who and his unique machine/container

After a chat with Romax this morning we took the Tardis back to the spot where we found it, would have been great to give him a whirl around Tassie but hadn't read the rules properly (at all!) so now hidden back within the 25km radius as required. TFTC
A quick find with very accurate coordinates. We'll take this one home to Tassie with us. TFTC
Logging a move so people can know that this is where the cache is still located.
Replaced container with new log book and some small trades.

Found along with a hoard of other GCA moveables. Will get this back out into the wild soon. TFTC. 
Discovered in the hands of Lazarus_68, will drop off in a new location shortly.

After the miss last time around, the new co-ordinates are spot on and we found the cache with ease. As this was the last for our trip in Bendigo we left it in the same location to ensure the locals still have fun.

Unable to find the tardis here. We did find a way point to a multi cache but not the tardis. A hint might be helpful for future seekers.

relocated in an ancient relic of golden days long past.
after wintering in a rural hide-away its time to move on, might be a day or so before relocated.

what fun!! ,:D saw it was close by to where I would be today so added it to the list in the car. a few muggles and their pooches but they were all too interested in each other to wonder what I was up to.. surprised it has been this long between finds.. I'll will certainly be watching this one to see where it travels to. at present it is resting where the cockatoos and kangaroos spend their daytimes. thanks Smileypj

Relocated The Tardis to a section of this universe inhabited by "The Canine" a race primarily benign and friendly however some caution may be required when searching to avoid attracting their masters or mistresses attention!
This GZ is also more protective of the new Tardis which is not as weatherproof from galactic squalls as its predecessor!

Found with Tamzy and CBJH1990 on my way home to Nathalia after spending a couple of days in Bendigo as Tamzy and I went on a bus trip to Melbourne to see Wicked the stage show, we had seen it when it first came out years ago and thought we would go see it again with my other geo daughter Mikidos , we had been wanting to find this cache for some time as Mikidos is a big Dr Who fan. Thanks for a quick find in the dark to end my day in Bendigo

A big thanks romax for replacing this cache, have wanted to find it for sometime but never really got around to it and last time I look it was ruined:( have collected and will locate this time traveller! TFTC
This Tardis, much like Dr Who himself, has been reincarnated but still impersonating a bright blue Police Box, and is back orbiting Galaxy Bendigo again!Please park in the rest area and approach his new destination via the footbridge!

Looked in on this old favourite this morning and could see the lid from 20m away on approach to GZ.Sad that the container was left in such an obvious place, if that was the case.
Have collected lid and perhaps something can be done!
Seen that this cache had been rehidden so headed out to find with my sister whom is a big fan of The Doctor, was very dissapointed to find only the lid of the cache we left it where we found it, so sad to find the remains
we left it where we found it, so sad to find the remainsDrop off near Bendigo as request by tigersden
yay found it while housesitting in Bendigo.
will move soon.

Dropping some contraband back into Bendigo while here on the annual pilgrimage. Should be a quick find
Wonderful. I feel like someone has just turned on the lights to find me holding the stolen goods And unfortunately I find it very difficult to get to a post office in working hours as there isn't one nearby to my office location. What would you like me to do? Place the cache out again and hope to have more luck with the next finder, or happy to wait until I can find time around work to post it back? (which may be a couple of weeks) Or accept that it has seen all the sights of Bendigo, and allow the Tardis to wander around chasing weeping angels?

We are sure the owner and all of the other interested Bendigo cachers would appreciate it if some kind interstate cacher would do the same.
Address to M & R Aldridge c/o Kangaroo Flat PO 3555, collect if that is possible.
Thank you,
Romax.

Hope it can get back to your time zone soon....

As Cache owner, I was just checking up on the whereabouts... 'The Tardis' has well and truly gone to another dimension.
If a fellow 'Time Lord' could return 'The Tardis' to within 25km of the Bendigo CBD (as stated in the guidelines), that would be appreciated and will help to ensure this cache lives on well into the future.

GCA 918 - 8480. Found in the hands of Sol de Lune. He will relocate soon.
Ironic to find this one during the "Weeping Angels" Race... Also like the fact that such an old Moveable is still going strong !

As we already had a great deal of baggage to take back home with us, we decided to rehide The Tardis nearby.
A quick find in the early morning as we headed out of Bendigo to Tullamarine to catch the plane back to Tassie.
Dropped off not too far from good parking. It is well hidden under bark and leaves
Grabbed off The Morris while dropping off some moveables

Temper holding spot. No longer at location
In the garden near the house of tigersden.
Woo hoo, two for the price of one. Was here to get triwizzard cup and grabbed this at the same time
The Tardis is back in town and waiting under a log - been hanging out with too many gnomes.
Time to bring The Tardis back to town- oicked up on our way from a big caching trip in South Australia
Found The Tardis today. @1520 Think I forgot to sign the log as muggles were walking down the road as I had it in my hand and had to rush to re hide it.
a Great idea for a cache container

Placed near a GC cache. Forgot to take a pic for a friend who is a keen Dr Who fan. At least the tardis wont be heading to the other side of the country, so I'll be able to do that in the future.
Found him finally, watched the tardis move around for months now.
Rated: for Overall Experience
Sorry, wrong co-ordinates. Now Fixed. Right on the 25 Km Limit.
We tried a small experiment. We wanted to see what would happen if we took the tardis outside the universe. It can't be done. We took the Tardis to the 25km limit but we couldn't take it any further. It brought the car to a stop and we had no alternative but to toss it out so we could resume our trip.
We had a lovely wet day to hide this cache again Rain rain rain.
This can be a very busy place at times and lots of walkers too
