52 Pick-Up - Queen of Hearts Invermay, Tasmania, Australia
By fitzy_1965 on 10-Jun-18. Waypoint GA12280

He flew a little way from Evandale but found a busy reserve to land in. Dont attempt to find him on Saturday morning between 9 and 10am or you will be mowed down by hundreds of Park runners out for a PB! Hidden with a friend

Out for a night drive to pick up some moveables that have been sitting close to my neighbourhood since summer time. The Olympic Games competition has got me moving! This Queen was nearly left behind but one last check of the hidey hole with the torch revealed her!

Its odd for me to grab some caches mid week anymore but with a game on that was out the window since these were so close to home, after visiting a rellie at the HPH I made a short detour and made this a quick find.

Thanks for the moveable i'll get it back out as soon as I can.

Out and about on a wintery Saturday afternoon to rehide these moveable caches, hope they don't stay in this weather for too long!

Needed a cache today to fill in a gap on our DZ caching calendar so set off on a loop through Beaconsfield. Managed to find ten moveable caches, all with good coordinates and hints which certainly makes life easier. Lots of traffic on the road on a lovely mild Easter Tuesday but made quick finds each time. We'll hide these ones out on the north west coast in the next couple of days. TFTC

Journey or Destination

Game Period: 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST

It is sometimes said [citation needed] that the game of geocaching is not about the destination it is about the journey. This 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.

Qualifying geocaches fall into two categories. Finds and Hides.

A qualifying find is a geocache that meets the following criteria:

The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia

The geocache has a hidden date prior to the game commencing

The geocache was logged by you on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period

The geocache was physically found by you during the game period

The geocache is not owned by you unless it is a moveable geocache

The geocache has not previously been found by you during the game period

The geocache is one of the following types:


Burke and Wills

Moveable (you will qualify only once for a find on a moveable geocache)

Traditional

TrigPoint

Augmented Reality

Beacon

Gadget

Multi-cache

Night Cache

Podcache

Reverse

Unknown or Mystery



A qualifying hide is a geocache that meets the following criteria:

The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia

The geocache has a hidden date after the game has commenced

The geocache was published on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period

The geocache has a container size of regular or larger (Note: A regular geocache has a volume of 1 litre or more)

The geocache is one of the following types:


Moveable

Traditional

Augmented Reality

Beacon

Gadget

Multi-cache

Night Cache

Podcache

Reverse

Unknown or Mystery



The game tracking mechanism relies upon your honesty when logging geocaches as found or hidden.

The games administrators will undertake verification of a statistically significant number of logs.

Players who continually log inaccurate information will be disqualified from the game. The game administrators decision is final.

The game administrators will subtract qualifying hide or find geocaches from your tally if they are found to be not genuine.

The game administrators reserve the right to provide clarifications to the rules at any point during the game.

Don't forget to claim your limited time game trophies, if your qualify, while the game is in progress. Once the game completes the ability to claim your trophies is lost for ever.

Off to an event

Wow what a cool cache. TFTM

Had queenie in my hands for but the briefest of moments and transported only a short distance up the road, nice to have met you, happy travels.. thanks..!!

Noticed that a few moveables had recently been dropped off about the Trevallyn Reserve. Nothing for it but to head off to work early to collect up these playing cards and dinosaurs plus a few others.. thanks..!!

Rated: for Overall Experience

We needed to hide some of the moveable caches that we have in our possession and decided to see how many we could leave in the Trevallyn area. This cache started it's Tassie journey in the north west of the state and is now in the north waiting for it's next move. TFTC

A quick find in an area that has seen a few moveable caches come and go. Ideal really as it's close to the highway but hardly anyone ever comes into this area. Enjoying the concept with this series of caches and hope to see a few more. TFTC

Another member of the card pack out waiting to be picked up.

We found the Queen of Hearts was found in a guard rail covered in cobwebs. We will clean her up before letting her loose.

A muster of old moveables in Canberra was called for, so a heap were collected and they have now made their home in and around Melbourne......hope they enjoy their new surroundings.

Time for a muster of some of the moveables in Canberra. This one is now in my hands and heading off to Melbourne to find a new home and hopefully found a few more times.

Found this one with a lot of others and thought what a fantastic idea for a series of cute caches, love the challenge of them all. tftc Fizty_1965 Will move on soon

Found with Kittykatch after a GC event. Will move this on when I have a spot to leave them. It was fun chasing these down and a great idea. Tonight when picking them up it went from no rain to a raging wind/rain storm but we still got them

Spotted this cache as well as many other moveables in the hands of albida33 at the International Geocaching Day event in Belconnen today.
Signed all the logs for those that had them
Thanks for creating this cache!

After taking the bucket of caches to the International Caching day Event in Belconnen, I found a spot to drop them all off than most GCA cachers will know.

Ready to be found !

Thanks
Albida

It was great to be able to collect this cache. I will move it on tomorrow.

Thanks
Albida

After a long time hanging around, this one has been grabbed again.

Another neat series of moveables....with an obvious change to continue it one with the other suits.

Have always enjoyed a game of 52 pick-up...great fun to play, especially with an unsuspecting younger sibling. As the listing says, So Don't Laugh

Thanks fitzy_1965.....look forward to seeing more.

Found in the hands of SdL and LL. Very good idea for a moveable cache set - cheers Fitzy!

Oh my, an early return to Canberra after today's weather not conductive to Snowboarding, and I met these near home.

TFTC Fitzy!

Dealt this one out with its mates for another hand.....

#GA3039 - 14:00; Stopped by to drop of another trackable I had collected on a recent trip north and discovered a bunch of moveables I was not expecting to be here. The previous log suggested these had been picked up, but it seems they weren't, so happy to claim a belated *FTF* as a bonus. TFTC fitzy_1965

Dropped - but already in the hands of another cacher !

Grabbed these new movables off fitzy_1965 which I'll more than likely release in Canberra later in the week. I won't be claiming FTF.

Neat idea for a series of movables. Having fallen victim to the game in my youth, there is no need for google here!

Rated: for Overall Experience

This one is ready to go. Down but collected by another cacher already - who is NOT claiming the first to find. It will be back out in the wild as soon as possible.
