Description
More bells but how long will they stay in SA
These bells are were created a few days before christmas and my kids have just finished watching the move 'The Polar Express' - seeing is believing, and these bells will ring for those who believe!!!
Any way, just another little cute moveable cache to get people out looking for some interesting caches.
Where ever these little bells end up, good luck happy hunting and lets hope I can at least give you a smile for an interesting find.
These bells are a replica of GA11116 - silver bells V gold bells.

We stopped by today to try to find this cache which was last logged 19 months ago. We had no luck today. Perhaps they have fallen into the thick grass at the base of the trees but unfortunately we couldn’t locate them…..wish we had a metal detector 
Thanks anyway ParisLaura

Met up with another cacher and handed off in a prisoner exchange. May be heading towards home next.
Another moveable from the Gong Mega that has made its way to Canberra. Great for those of us who couldn't get to the Mega.
Thanks ParisLaura...will move this one on shortly.

Originally from SA Gold Bells has spent some time frollicking around the little island and is now ready to visit the Eastern states
Picked up at the end of the event as there were no other teams interested in GA moveables.
Handed to another team at the event in Devonport today. That team is going on an expedition soon so may take these moveable caches along for the ride
Found by mr sharnie's tribe on a lovely but very cold Tassie day. We needed a find today to fill a gap on our DZ calendar so wonderful when three popped up near a reserve not too far away. We'll move these ones towards the north of the state at the weekend. TFTC
Another moveable persuaded to venture from its warm spot out into the frosty morning.
Another moveable we met again along Proctors road in the Hands of Alby Dangles. Will get it out again soon after a trip north.
It seamed as if 2y'stassies and I were after the same caches today.
It was nice to catch with them again.

Out and about on a lovely afternoon not long before Christmas, we seem to have collected a few moveable caches and need to get them back into circulation. Ulverstone si the place to be! Happy travels
We were in the Trevallyn area today to hide some of the moveablecaches that we have in our possession and found a few more along the way. We'll move these ones towards the north west of Tassie. TFTC
Dropped off these golden christmassy bells on the way past while heading in early to work. Left in company with a charming little gnome by the name of Fudwicke. Happy travels.. thanks..!!
One of several moveables we spotted at our Event today.

This fine summer's evening attended geocaching australia event: The Moveables are Here!!, graciously hosted by Tassie Trekkers at Riverside in northern Tasmania. Was fortunate to make it to the event as was not working and I only noted that it was going to be held on the previous evening - almost missed it. So many moveables in the one spot, roughly 150 in attendance. Nothing for it but to record a couple of notebook pages full of numbers. A very musical little cache and very timely find as we approach the festive season.. thanks..!!

This cache will be attending the GA13289 The Moveables are Here Event 3.12.18 at the Tail Race, Riverside. Please don't look for me yet as I am hitching a ride!
Out and about today with RLD4963 and the GeoGSP, I stopped in at the moveable event (GA13269). It was flat out spotting and logging moveable caches - have not seen so much action at a geocaching event before. Luckily there was a nearby GC event after this one, where we could recover with a cuppa and a biscuit. Good luck to everyone for the current GCA game, and thanks to everyone who has published geocaches in time for the event! Thanks for the moveable ParisLaura - very appropriate cache to find approaching Christmas. Cheers!

Found at the Snug moveable meet along with many other moveables. What a busy time I will have logging all these moveables. I found four moveables at Evandale and bought these along for the ride. Other people bought many more though! Everyone had a great time. Today’s event will help everyone in their position on the ladder for the summer game. The game is described below

The latest Geocaching Australia game runs from 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST
This new game is about the choices you make in the experience of the journey or the destination.
On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing field with a number of ground tiles. Your playing field is a grid 20 x 20 ground tiles making a total number of 400 possible steps you can take on your journey or destination. You choose whether you want to find and follow the path or whether you wanted to meander around. A playing field is unique to each player so there is no benefit in teaming up to beat the system through brute force.
For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath. There are a number of different ground tiles that will be revealed when you click on your playing field. It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile
Dirt. The ground beneath the ground tile is just plain old brown dirt.
Dirt with some points. The ground beneath the tile is brown dirt but it has some points associated with it.
Concrete. The ground beneath is part of the pathway that will lead you on your way to your destination but has no point value.
Start. A concrete ground tile that has a blue map marker.
Destination. A ground tile that has a green map marker.
Meandering around and avoiding the path will accumulate points that will be used to place on you the ladder of wanderers. The more you stay off the path the higher the number of points you will accumulate and it will be your journey that will be the determining factor in whether you place into a prize winning position. You are free to select any ground tile to click on; they do not need to be next to each other.
Trying to find the path may mean you strike out on the dirt until you eventually come across the path and as a geocacher who can't say that this isn't a tried and true method. Once you find the path however will you try and follow the path as it changes direction around your playing field? Do you go North, South, East or West to try and find the next concrete tile along the path? If you head one way are you heading towards the start or towards the destination? When you do happen upon the destination tile then you will automatically be in a winning position.
At any point you are free to change from the journey to the destination and vice versa but you won't be able to regenerate your playing field. You are also free to keep playing as long as you have qualifying geocaches, accumulating more and more dirt tile points and placing you higher and higher on the ladder.
A moving cache, by nature, may have been moved since you last determined its location. It may have been picked up but not yet rehidden so it's considered 'in-transit'. There is no foolproof method of determining where a cache is simply by the log types that have been placed against the cache. In general the following applies:
A moved log with new co-ordinates indicates that the cache is in the new location ready to be found.
A found log with new co-ordinates indicates that the cache is in the new location ready to be found.
A found log with no new co-ordinates may indicate one of two situations:
The cache has been found and left in place.
The best way to determine this is to read the found log and hopefully the cacher who found the cache has indicated whether it is still in place.
The cache has been found and the cacher has taken it away to re-hide it.
The best was to determine this is to read the found log and hopefully the cacher who found the cache has indicated whether they have taken it away.
In essence, you will need to read the last log to determine whether the cache is in place or whether the cache has been moved. Remember that even though the logs indicate the cache may be at a certain location, it may have been picked up and moved only moments before you arrived. That's part of the challenge of a moving cache; you're never quite sure whether it's a DNF because you can't spot it or it's been moved along.

Found at one of the two events I attended today.
A good turn out by the die-hards to find all these trackables and movables.
A great time had by everyone! I left it on the table.
Thanks!

Hi ParisLaura
Did a quick trip to the NW Coast today; leaving home at 0600 hour and returning home at 2300 hours; the round trip taking a total of 764 kilometres
I found 20 caches requiring 16672 steps to walk 12.68 kilometres and burnt 2225 calories to find them
The weather was brilliant for most of the day; but got some rain while near the Dial Range
This cache was a quick find in a very pleasant spot
Sainted at 1705 hours

Gold Bells is back out ready to continue his journey
About to go out to get groceries when we saw these ones come up so thought we'd take the opportunity to find them on our way home. Accurate coordinates and hints led to quick finds on a cold and wet Sunday afternoon. TFTC
We had found Silver Bells some time ago and it is now travelling in Tasmania. Golden bells is ready to begin its tour of Tassie with the hope of catching up with its partner.
After finding Green P we continued on to look for Gold Bells. We had found Silver Bells on a previous trip to SA and it is now touring Tasmania.
We had been down these roads in dry weather but we were not sure how our Kia would handle the wet, slippery conditions. We were glad these were not dry weather only roads and felt reassured that help was nearby when we passed a tractor heading in the same direction. However all fears were unnecessary and we found Gold Bells still snuggly tucked away.
It will now join Green P for a road trip.

This cache is now bringing some belated Christmas cheer to the northern suburbs.
We'd been out in the McLaren Vale area today making adjustments to a couple of our soon-to-be-released McLaren Vale Tour geocaches ( 
), and saw this one pop up on the GPSr screen on our drive home.
We found it in a very appropriate location, and after placing the cache into my pocket, I jingle-jangled all the way back to the car!
I was hoping to take control of the cache for Minotaur, but as Mr Fun and us are at the same dragonZone level, all I can do is put in to neutral control.
We'll take this one back to J_&_J HQ and move it to a new location in a week or two.
Thanks ParisLaura.

Public holidays, the perfect time for caching in the city 
was even able to get a car park within 50m of GZ!
And made a nice quick pickup in this clever hiding spot
Cheers and thanks for a fun moveable ParisLaura
PS left another moveable to enjoy the location as well

You will find these bells in a central location keeping GCA traditional cache GA4267 company.
Merry Christmas!
