Description
Dragon Zone has many Trophy Challenges, some of which require careful planning to achieve.
One of the Dragon Zone challenges is to move 10 or more moveables at least 1000km. As we are making a fleeting visit to Perth (WA) in late July, we are going to attempt that challenge. However, there are less than 10 moveables in Tassie that we haven't already found and that we could find and move to WA. We needed more moveables.
After consulting Baldrick (of "cunning plan" fame), we thought that we would publish some new moveables at the "Th' Lost Loot O' Mary Hyde" event in Launceston on Sunday 16 July 2017, give those pirates attending an opportunity to find the moveables and then, after finding them ourselves, we would take the moveable caches to WA to meet the challenge requirements. This is one of the 7 we published specifically for the Gragon Zone Challenge.
Once in Perth, this moveable can be found and moved anywhere - there are no restrictions. We may even see them back in the Eastern states at some time in the future

Thanks for the moveable cache
Will have it back out in the field of play within a week.
Cache can be un-archived 2y'stassies.
If the cache appears again, the listing can simply be reinstated...
After finding all the GC caches around Rookwood we then grabbed all the GCAs. This moveable is now in my hands, and I will get it back out in the wild asap.
TFTC 2y'stassies !!
The last time I saw Fly West was at another one of my events 2 years ago.

Attending "Moveable & Mystery Madness" event GA10647
I had come up to Launceston with EeePees and Lil Raffa to attend the “Th' lost loot o' Mary Hyde” event.
After making our acquaintance with everyone who was there at the time we ventured off to find a nearby cache before returning to making our acquaintance with the new comers who weren’t there before, when we making out acquaintance with everyone who was there.
After making our acquaintance with everyone who was there I noticed a log sheet and some loose sheets of paper. I ventured over and asked you about the log sheet and some loose sheets of paper.
You explained how you were trying to achieve a challenge of moving seven movable caches 1000 kilometres. And the log sheet was picking a person who would be able to log the FTF and the loose sheets of paper were the code and name of the movable.
Good luck in moving your caches across Australia and acquiring your challenge token.
This is going to be the same log for:

One of the Dragon Zone challenges is to move ten or more moveables at least 1000km. As we are making a fleeting visit to Perth (WA) in late July, we are going to attempt that challenge. However, there are less than ten moveables in Tassie that we haven't found. After consulting Baldrick (of "cunning plan" fame), we thought that we would publish some at the "Th' Lost Loot O' Mary Hyde" event at the Tailrace in Launceston on Sunday 16 July, give those pirates attending an opportunity to find the moveables and then, after finding them ourselves, we would take them to Western Australia to meet the challenge requirements.
Fly West was found in a box at the pirate event in the grounds of the Tailrace Reserve. It was glad to be in a box out of the cold wind and also liked the idea it was not going to be planted in some cold garden bed where it would most likely be frozen on the frosty mornings many parts of Tasmania are currently experiencing.
After being found by those at the event who support Geocaching Australia Fly West was collected with six other little moveables and will travel with them to the big island after a trip on the boat. They are then in for a road trip to Adelaide in South Australia followed by a plane trip to Perth, Western Australia. Hope this little succulent will not be disappointed that it is not making the entire trip by plane. Hope quarantine in Western Australia doesn't confiscate it and its four relatives as Western Australia’s plant quarantine laws are very similar to those of Tasmania.
