After finding ourselves with a bag of moveable caches we're finally getting the last of them back out and in play again
After a lovely catch up over coffee with another local team we exchanged bags of moveable caches and then went our own ways. We'll get these ones out in time for the upcoming game. TFTC
After sitting out the cold snap in the garage this moveable was ready to check out the sunny NW with a group of fellow travellers.
Found on a visit to the Southern Moveable Geocache Library. Borrowed and heading North
Handed to whitewebbs whilst caching in the area.
When I picked this P plate up I was planning on using it to temporarily change a dragonZone to Griffin control. However, when I went to hide it I realised that by moving it from the old hiding place, I had changed that dragonZone to another clan. I had planned to change 2 Trigs to Griffin in the Port Mac zone to gain Griffin control there, but forgot that by removing this one, I was one down again. I decided to hold off using up all my points to change both trigs because it would be a waste of time. BUT, hiding this at it's new hiding spot did change that dZ even if it only lasts a few minutes. haha.
To pick it up here, you will need to be either:
- heading north and pulling off the motorway SLOWLY so as not to miss the parking at a locked gate or cause a rear end accident, or
- parking up near the power station and walking down to this spot.

The rain fell as it probably did everywhere in New South Wales this weekend. Morning light was yet to break. Now To Morrow (NTM) had been on and off the road for a number of hours travelling south in her little grey rain cloud. Ground Zero for this moveable cache was not her destination, however still being dark and the traffic quite quiet, she decided an eight kilometre extension to her journey wouldn't hurt.
And so she came upon this roundabout in a round about way. She looked around and about for a break in the traffic. Not really. It was so quiet she walked along the road from a decent parking spot (apart from the giant mud ponds, not puddles, she had to dodge) to the place the arrow sent her. Once there she switched on the phone torch to check for spiders before reaching her hand into a common hiding spot to retrieve... a magnetic P plate with log book attached. Having only a few more kilometres left in her journey, being so early, and her hosts not being up till 7.30, she slowly wandered back to her car along the middle of the road. Not one vehicle was seen the whole time she was there, apart from her own.
The cache carefully thrown in the passenger side footwell, she made her way back up the road she travelled down and aimed the little grey rain cloud for the beach. As the darkness was slowly taken over by the sun's approach, NTM wandered along the sand letting the water splash up over her feet and watched 2 Sea Eagles soar above looking for the night tide's spoils.
NTM was wide awake now. She would normally be busy at work at this time of day. But she still had some time to spend. She used it sitting on the bottom steps, feet planted on the slowly eroding rocks, at Bartlets Beach watching the waves roll in and draw back out. Getting bored of that and remembering she still had a cache to log, she wrote this log. As she did, the sun managed to find a peep-hole to spy on what the coast was up to this morning.
A beautiful start to the day after a not so beautiful night.

At last I have moved this cheeky fellow but he has already gone again.
Saw this one on the Movables table at the Clear Waters Mega Event. Now checking out his skill. Will drop it further along the road.

Discovered at the Clear Waters Catchup with a large bunch of other moveables. It was great to see such support for the Geocaching Australia site and it's caches. TFTC
Spotted on the table at the Mega Event.
My trip to the Mega was great, found lab caches which while like gadgets are new icons to me. Found some great caches and brought back some neat ideas for new caches in Tasmania.
Join a clan and enter the dragon zone. Clan Phoenix welcomes all new members

So many moveables in one location at the Clear Waters Mega event in Queanbeyan. I'm not sure whether I have seen some of these before, but GCA says no, so I'd better find them officially now. TFTC & safe travels.
OZ Mega 2019. Clear Waters Queanbeyan. During a walk around of the grounds I was happy to collect this moveable cache.
Thanks

Found at the Queanbeyan Clear Waters mega event movables table. Thanks for sharing.
Hehe... literally a Red P. This was the perfect size moveable to fit into a backpack on a ride around the newest northern suburbs of Canberra - which, if they go much further, will be NSW. Picked up with it's partner in tree, Seeka Pluto. TFTC MavEtJu.

on the way to the gym, and found a nice spot to place this one
Out and on tour in the National Capital. Hope the roundabouts aren't too confusing for the Red P
#GA3455 - 14:30; This one just dropped into my lap after arriving in the National Capital a few days ago. Nice to finally log this one after just missing out on a find when it was first published. It will continue on tour here for a while I suspect! TFTC Team MavEtJu

On the way home from and decided to stop of for this one. Wasn't confident of finding it and after about 5 minutes without spotting it, I was about to give it away. However in among the leaves and sticks I saw what I thought was the back of one of these of things, and after managing to extract it, the 'pouch' on the back confirmed it was. Woo Hoo…
Glad it wasn't lost after missing out on getting it last year sometime.
Thanks Team MavEtJu....cache is now with me and will re-located soon.

Placed on the “of many” power trail at Prestons. Hopefully placing it here will get it moved along quickly.
My sincere apologies to the CO for holding on to this one for so long. What was once thought lost was found and is on its way again....

As per the last log, the cache is currently in the hands of the last find and will hopefully be released back into the field of play shortly....
Note: Not at the listed coords. Currently in my possession after the ‘brining moveables together event’ and will be placed in a new location shortly.
At the movable event, saw this movable, thanks for sharing.
