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

This moveable cache has been with the previous finder for almost 10 months and has not been relocated. To avoid cachers searching for a cache that is not at the posted co-ords, we will archive it.

If the cache appears again, the listing can simply be reinstated...

The shrubbery has migrated across the border into NSW! He's waiting with a faceless gnome who'll keep him company until the next finder finds him. Whomever that may be...
 
06-Jan-19
Found this little shrubbery near where Geono was holidaying, so decided that as it was getting so dry at the Gold Coast, I would offer it a temporary spot in my Garden. Fly West is in the company of two old movable gnomes. I'll move him on shortly!

04-Jan-19
We didn't know the Brisbane suburb where Fly West was hiding so relying on the GPS on driving mode we navigated to the end of a cul-de-sac to someone's front yard. Err, not what we were expecting... especially when there looked to be a better spot on the other side of the house. And now the GPS was thinking the same thing. Luckily there was a walkway through not much further down. What a great little cache to blend in. Picked up to move along. TFTC 2y'stassies.

Thanks 2y'stassies for the moveable cache.

Dropped off Gwawr with Chwiliwr and the better half but before I left I found a few moveable caches that Chwiliwr had collected since I was last here.

Thanks for the cache.
 
06-Jun-18
I was being looked after by Chwiliwr and the better half for the day at their place and whilst there saw a whole big group of moveable caches that were being organised for a move somewhere by my grandparents so played with them for a bit before they were packed up. (Those that were not too fragile to be played with.)

Thanks for the cache.
 
02-Jun-18
I picked up this moveable with a few others to add to the collection that the family currently have. Will move it and the rest to another place shortly.

Hello 2y'stassies thanks for the cache.
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:
GA10476 Westward Ho!
GA10482 Heading West!
GA10484 Hi! Ho! Hi! Ho! It’s Off To The West We Go!

With such inclement weather today, going any where to find geocaches out in the wild for me seemed to be out of the question. At least even bad wearher is useful to geocachers as it allows us to catch up on various puzzle caches plus a good time to plan the various trips required in order to satisfy the various conflicting elements of the current DZ trophy points system.Just as I was scouring the GA Cacher maps to fill the various requirements lo and behold, the cache 'Fly West' turned up in the hands of Mr 2y'stassies on my doorstep for a quick visit.Mr 2y's was greeted by two barking canines...Sirius and Murder. The elder Sirius(now 16.5 yo) was none too happy but Murder(not quite 4 yo) soon settled then became rather friendly.It was great to see and log this cache before it continues it's rather long journey to the northern island....lets hope it has a safe journey.Many thanks 2y'stassies for another cache for us all to enjoy...cheers ST

Dragon Zone has many Trophy Challenges, some of which require careful planning to achieve.

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.
 
Found while at the Tailrace park this morning, thanks for the cache.
