Description
2017 Christmas in July is here
I have been created to enjoy Christmas in July 2017 and to enjoy many more Christmases around Australia (either in July or December).
As snow is a rarity on Christmas day 25 December in Tasmania, I hope to see snow in July, August or maybe June next year if I am still around.
Please post some photos of my travels, especially if it snows. Mery Christmas!
Please log a find and then log a move when you move me on to a new hiding location. Add a hint so I can be found and hide me well.

Bathed and going out into the world again.
I found the burnt stump, but no sign of a gnome, so I started digging in the rotting leaves; basically compost. Then when my fingernails were thoroughly filthy, I located the little person. It was badly in need of a wash, and now at my motel, I have given it one. Unfortunately I don't have a brush to be even more thorough. Will move Sheer on. I took pictures of Sheer posing with wildflowers, before the wash. (If he was to travel with me, I expected him to bathe.) Log is still good. TFTC whitewebbs.

After a 4 hour flight from Sydney, arrived to swap movables with Lazarus68. Thanx for the trade.
In my safe hands 
North Beach began as a descriptive name, derived from the suburb being at the time the most northerly of Perth's beaches. It was assigned in 1888 when surveyor Charles Crossland referred to the pastoral leases of Samuel Richard Hamersley as his "north beach coastal run".
The area originally formed part of the Hamersley Estate, which also included the suburbs now known as Carine, North Beach and Hamersley. These areas were owned by the Hamersley family, who arrived from Europe to settle in the Swan River Colony in 1837 and built a summer home, called "The Castle" in 1865, where their large family as well as the Perth elite congregated for summer holidays. It was later converted into the Castle Hotel, but after 75 years was demolished and subdivided in 1998.
Originally set aside as a timber reserve, the area was first settled by pastoralists in the 1860s. It served as a stopping point and watering hole along the Coastal Stock Route between Dongara and Fremantle. Cattle drovers frequented the area and Afghan camel drivers were a common sight after the opening of the goldfields in the 1890s - the area also served as a quarantine area for camels entering the colony. A number of orchards operated in the area; the only evidence which remains today is an old olive tree on Hope Street.
The only way into the area at this time was via a wooden block road built by convicts (later Wanneroo Road) and then along a limestone track to North Beach, although numerous tracks through the bushland were developed as time progressed.
During World War I, the Australian 10th Light Horse Regiment were stationed at Mount Flora on coast-watch duties, and kept their horses at a yard at the corner of modern-day Hope and Hale Streets. During the Great Depression, the area around the intersection of West Coast Drive and North Beach Road was a 'tent city' which housed "many unfortunate people on hard times".
After World War II, the area developed rapidly, and in 1954, the Postal District of North Beach was approved. By 1961, nearly all of the existing suburb had been built and settled.

I travelled back home to SA from Perth for family reasons and decided that Melbourne is only a short hop from Adelaide, so I logged an attendance at the Parkville Mega event and headed over for 5 days in Melbourne. I hired an E bike and had it for 4 days so was able to get around to many places and grab lots of caches as well as biking from the Youth Hostel in North Melbourne to Parkeville which was only a short ride. I attended the event on Saturday and caught up with some west ozzies and we headed out and grabbed all the lab caches and when i had some spare time headed out to grab some GCA caches close by. This was a very quick and easy find once i had the hiding spot in view. Thanks for bringing me here and the cache Whitewebbs

One of four moveables found sitting on the TB table at the Parkville Mega. Signed the log and left it for others to find. Someone must have taken it, it wasn't there the next day. Glad we remembered early to sign it.

On my way already to the Parkville event in melbourne. Long drive today with a few detours. Weather is fine, low twenties, dry and not too sunny, almost ideal for driving and caching! Most caches were driveby's to break up the boredom and stretch the legs. Thanks to all the cache owners for putting them out there.

After travelling up the east coast of the big island Sheer Delight was ready to strike out on its own. Happy travels little gnome.
Found this gnome on our way back from a visit to the local waste transfer station today. Will move it on soon
Sheer Delight Gnome is back out ready to continue his journey
A quick find while in the area to look for Dangles, we'll move him on asap. TFTC
Dropped of about 30km SW at "a tree near a pub"
I’m taking this lovely fellow to the Central Victorian Anzac Day Event where hopefully he will find a new travel companion to further his journey
Muggle Hubby found this lovely character in the bush, in a picturesque spot, on our leisurely way to the OZGeomuster this morning, taking three days to get there, he’s such a friendly little chap, he hitched a ride with us to wherever we want to take him, he’s a sheer delight to have as a passenger.
Thankyou Whitewebbs, this is my first official Geognome. We have seen them before in bushes near GC caches but left them behind in our pre GA days.

Went for a slog up a hill to retrieve Sheer Delight, no wonder he has been here so long, he has had to recover from the walk up! Perhaps he liked it here as plenty of wallabies to play with. Saw five wallabies playing chasey across the contours. It might have been easier if I had walked around the contours instead of heading straight up. TFTM Will move on soon

Back out, with no sign of any snow in the near future!
Out and about doing, you know, geocaching stuff, walking along the track with the GeoGSP and just saw a place someone might hide a geocache and so thought well, it can't hurt to have a look, and sure enough, a gnome! Now I have to be a GCA person. Thanks whitwebbs
It is hard to believe it is nearly summer in Tasmania with the weather we are experiencing. Headed out with snow on the mountain to hunt down a few moveables travelling to South Hobart, Fern Tree, Kingston and then on to Howden. It certainly was cold here in the Peter Murrell Reserve at Howden, below snow capped Mount Wellington. Parked off on the side of the road dodging rain and hail to find two moveables near the car and then decided to grab three more moveable about 300 m into the reserve, as the weather seemed to be clearing. Had a pleasant stroll to retrieve Sheer (Shear) Delight and will take him back to the family home for a bit of a rest and a catch up. On the way back to the car, the rain appeared again. At least it was not too hot as snakes have been spotted near moveable hides in this reserve this month. TFTM

Found by Mr T and Mr T jr while MTBing around Peter Morrell Reserve for a couple of hours. Left in place. TFTC
Back out again and ready to be found .
After collecting a heap of moveables in the Northwest a few weeks ago this has been the first chance I have had to drop them off anywhere interesting.
Today myself and Goose of GooseandEgg were walking round Peter Murrell reserve cleaning up some Gc caches we had failed to find yet and along the way we kept our eyes out for good locations to hide these moveables.
I have done my best to spread them out a little bit so if you want to collect more than a couple it could take a few hours, we got here about 11 and left about 3.
It was a nice spring day with us both enjoying the day no end.

Myself and Goose of GooseandEgg have had a big weekend, starting out before 6am on Saturday we have covered some miles, heading North from Hobart we called at a couple of Southern caches near Melton Mowbray before making our way past Mole Creek to Flumming Hell and then on to Devonport and Ulverstone collecting many GC and GCA caches as we went.
Sunday morning was started with a FTF on a reverse cache and then a great little gadget cache as we headed West.
GooseandEgg dropped off this moveable and now i'm picking it up so I can move it on in the next week.
Later in the day we went to a CITO event and cleaned up the area and then cleaned up some caches, after a few stops along the way we made it back to Hobart by about 6pm, not a bad weekend at all
This movable will be back out soon.

I arrived home from work to find Neville (my old gnome) having a party in the front garden with a bunch of other movables. Neville gets bored on his retirement so I can't blame him for having the occasional get together but it was time for the 'riffraff' to move on so I made sure they went a good distance so they would not be back in a hurry. Enjoy the Northwest coast you mad partygoer, enjoy playing bridge
Hello again! Found loitering around a dirty old gnome 
quite close to home. I;m sure Neville was happy to have a good friend visit him. I was surprised to interrupt such a big gathering. The retired gnome is staying put but the rest of the party goers are being moved along swiftly. So glad they didn't leave a mess. Thanks for the movable.

A lovely spring day to be out and about. We heard a retired gnome was feeling a bit lonely in his garden bed so have dropped by for a visit with quite a few friends. Bring on the party!
While finding the nearby GC cache with OldSaint on a glorious spring day, I thought I had better bring this prodigal son back with me to civilisation! Not much of a party to be had here today at the stump. There were plenty of mates, but no internet and a kick out time of 4.00 pm. Plus the thermal pool was only 24 degrees but warmer here than sitting in the snow on the nearby hills. Hitching a ride to my house before moving on. TFTM

Hi whitewebbs
Left home, Huonville, this morning in the dark; travelled as far as Ulverstone and returned in the dark - left at 0530hrs and returned home at 2200hrs. A round trip comprising 772 kilometres including visits to Kindred, Turners Beach, West Ulverstone and Spreyton.
Weather: Wet at Huonville at 0530hrs, raining to Oatlands and then fine weather on the North West Coast for the day until I left and got back to Oatlands where it was humming down. Rained on and off from there to Huonville.
Having found one cache on Don Heads, my plan was to find as many as possible of the TasStats series as possible.
The puzzles had been solved some time ago, but this was virtually the first chance I have had to come North West in a similar period of time. So far in that series, I've found six with just one to find - so on the way to look for it, I thought I might as well try to find some caches along the way. This was the fourth on the way through the beautiful farming land from TasStats 6. So far today, I've found eleven including this one - All GCA; not one GC amongst them yet: 1 Trig, 6 Puzzles, three traditionals and now one moveable.
For the entire day; I managed thirty finds and not one a GC - all were GCA.
Attempts to get to the right side of the Bass Highway to get close to TasStats 7 failed; so I settled down; whilst stopped; I took a look for closer caches to be found on the GPS. A moveable nearby; off in search; not there - second time today; Sirius you .....
Phone call to sirius Tas and we make plans to say hello; visit it home; spend time and collect fourteen more moveables of which, this is one. Now you know the story behind my collecting your cache:
My tally for the day jumped from eleven to twenty-five comprising 1 Trig, 6 Puzzles, three traditionals and now fifteen moveables.
I Sainted the cache at 1400hrs.
After putting the caches in the car, I took some pics of my mates house. Back in the car myself and continued on the way to look for TasStats 7 again.
TFTC and cheers

All go...now in the hands of Old Saint...cheers ST.
With such cold and inclement weather this past few weeks up this way in north west Tassie, going any where geocaching for me seemed to be out of the question. A good time to plan the various trips required in order to satisfy the various conflicting elements of the current DZ trophy points system. One trophy requirement is to find 100 moveable caches of which I need to find a further 13. So last night to my surprise, I saw 4 moveable caches had popped up on the radar and all with in a couple of hrs drive from home.
I had thought of going caching last night but it was quite cold and even with a superb torch....power torch from Kleva Range.....with out doubt the best torch I have ever had.....it would be difficult finding all of the 4 moveable caches, so decided to head off early today....plus it was a better fit for some of the other dz trophy requirements..e.g. number of dz caches per day of the week, also for each day of the month plus the winter solstice trophy.
Thankfully the weather was reasonably fine this morning with some clouds about.... so the hunt was on. As soon as I had put my hat and boots on, Murder(the younger of the two canine family....4 yo) started to get pretty excited as he just loves both bush walking and travelling around in the geo fourby. My eldest canine...Sirius...is now too old(16.8 y.o.) to leave the comfort of his bed in front of the wood heater...which has an electric blanket of course(which he just loves and is great for his arthritis). Having walked 100's of km's with me geocaching over the years up numerous mountains, bush walking along many trails plus along vast stretches of beaches etc while geocaching, he has certainly earned his rest..an amazing companion who never gave up no matter how hard it was for him...a truly remarkeable companion.
Looking at the various cache locations I had planned a route which would take me east along the highway from Ulverstone to Devonport then out to Bakers Beach Road toward Narawntapu National Park and then south out to Gowrie Park which is just past Sheffield(town of murals).
Looking at the 3rd moveable cache on my list ....'Sheer(shear) delight gnome'... in it's posted location I had a pretty good idea on where it would be as I had found other moveables quite near here in the past. Once at gz...a quick find was had.This gnome cache will be set free in a few days, further east near Launceston. Many thanks 'Whitewebbs' for placing this cache for us all to share and enjoy....very much appreciated.Having secured the 3nd cache on the list it is now off to try for the 4th cache over near Gowrie Park..cheers ST
Sheer Delight Gnome is back out again ready to play
We'd booked a table for four for lunch at Bruce's at Wynyard but it should have been five as this charming gentleman gatecrashed the party! After a lovely meal and a great chat he accompanied us home. We'll find him a new spot asap. TFTC
Sheer (shear) Delight Gnome came out to lunch with us and went home with Sharnie's Tribe as the next stage of the expedition.
Having recently completed the requirements for the Frozen Solstice Horologist mission it is now time to try and make some inroads into the requirements for the Vernal Equinox Horologist mission - only fifty eight days without out a dragon zone cache find.
The second of September was without a dragon zone cache find so as we were on our way back from our trip to Storeys Creek and Avoca we decided to make a quick detour into Kings Meadows to see if we could pick up Sheer (shear) Delight Gnome who appeared to be still hiding in the reserve.
We parked in the parking spot and made our way along the track until we spotted the tree. We could see the results of Sheer's visit with his shears as the openings above and below his hidey hole were crammed with small dead eucalypt branches that provided an excellent screen preventing his little red cap from being seen by the many muggles using the nearby track.
This cheery little fellow with his gardening equipment will be out and about again soon.

Attempts were made to place in a location where he could take sheer delight in snipping away at the greenery, but every hedgerow worth his mettle (metal?) seemed to be either manicured to within an inch of it's life or be in such a sorry state that gnomes lurking within would be exposed to their sworn enemies (viz all humans not holding high tech gadgetry in their hands). So he's taken a stroll in some bushland where he can get his tools to work with much merriment. He found a lovely two storey abode but has had to slam the door & barricade the window to deter sticky beak intruders.
No need to bush bash, just follow the paths around.

Discovered this merry little fellow lurking in a most undignified manner in a less than salubrious location on the island. He took some prodding & jostling to prize him from his spot so we suspect he may have had peeping tom tendencies. He certainly had a big cheesy grin on his face when extracted. Horrors! We'll attempt to place him in surroundings more appropriate to his chosen pastimes in the near future. Thanks Whitewebbs (& dankpig for the hide).
Fancy a trek out to Tamar Island, come find me.. thanks..!!
Found this keen little gardener hiding amongst the boulders in Trevallyn. Should give him back out a shearing some time soon.. thanks..!!

grabbed this as a easy find, hope everyone is OK with me moving it North on Friday
Took it to friends place and dropped it off near his letter box as a surprise
Hi whitewebbs
Due to circumstances here tomorrow, decided to head out and do some caching today
Travelled from the Huon to the Domain to get this happy chappy first.
Arrived at a suitable parking location and to my surprise there was no "mates" cars park here at all - SURPRISING!! Must be too cold.
Enjoyed the short walk to and from the car on a chilly morning - invigorating!
Arrived at GZ and spotted the hide immediately
Sainted "Sheer Delight" at 1121hrs. A suitable name for the cache in this location for some, but not me.
Replaced this cache with a croaker acquired while up north
Was going to hide on the way home but it got too wet to get out of the car.
Happy Independence Day!

Hello whitewebbs thanks for the cache
I was standing at the table when GooseandEgg wandered over and said something about the bag and very carefully picked it up and peered into it. From his first peek he knew he had found what he was looking for, we still had no idea what he was up to until he smiled and pulled out a gnome with a buffalo tube attached. It was only at this point every one else standing around the table realised it was a cache and once the tube was opened everyone knew it was a new cache of yours.
Of course I asked for him to sign the log for me as did everyone else around who now knew what was going on.
As usual this was another cache I found by just been lucky and been at the right place with the right people.
As I have said before congratulations on your 5000 GC cache and thanks for all that you have hidden.

I had seen a stray bag on the table and even went to move it at one stage but got sidetracked. I though whitewebbs had brought it along and it turns out I was correct.
Sometime later, when this was published, SSR mentioned a new cache but wasn't sure what the hint meant. I knew! I went straight for the stray bag and there it was. It had been right under our noses for a while. Yes, I let the gnome out of the bag first, but I am happy to share the FTF with everybody at the event. Good fun!

Can log my new gnome now it has been found a couple of times. In the hands of the owner again, will rehide again soon. We almost had snow!
