Description

Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends (simply referred to as Thomas & Friends or Thomas the Tank Engine) is a British children's television series. It had its first broadcast on the ITVnetwork in Great Britain in 1984. It is based on The Railway Series of books by the Reverend Wilbert Awdry and his son, Christopher Awdry.

These books follow the adventures of a group of anthropomorphised locomotivesand road vehicles who live on the fictionalIsland of Sodor. The books were based on stories Wilbert told to entertain his son, Christopher, during his recovery frommeasles. Many of the stories from the first four series are based on events from Awdry's personal experience.

Currently there are 3 trains from this years series of Thomas & Friends of models to move around

A day out for double points started on the Paradise Peninsula, Sandford then down to Tasman Peninsula and off to the middle of Tasmania to Tunbridge, (well almost) and back to Oatlands for tea with muggle Mum and Tassie Trekkers. That was foiled due to everything being shut on the public holiday. Had to resort to a monte carlo biscuit and thermos coffee! Good to catch up with family and swap some moveables. Now headed North.

TRAINing is out again, not far from the Melbourne Sydney track and the Hume Highway just north of Wangaratta.

Take a little time to enjoy the reserve he's in. There's a little pond you can see from GZ, and the old gums around the area have an immense number of places to hide a cache which could be homes for an array of wildlife, and which I therefore didn't use!

There are fallen sticks and bark and plenty of mulch on the ground in this reserve, and it is a wild area, so watch out for snakes, not that I saw any when I placed the cache. I was watching out though!

TFTC phlphotos.
 
Reading previous logs, this moveable may still be in location OR may have been found, removed and not relocated yet. We know moveables can sometimes be forgotten / missed / left in the bottom of a caching bag, so a check has been undertaken on this one.

An update will be posted within 28 days….

I found your geocache at an event held in Adelaide GA13348 where there was a large table of movable GCA caches.

Your cache was in great condition and is continuing on its journeys.

I did not take this one, but it is good hands and moving on.

Thanks for placing this movable cache to be found and moved.

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.....

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.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for this geocache here today.
