We travel this road regularly for work so made a stop today and a quick find.
We saw a wombat on the road while caching about a week ago.

Wombat decided he was ready to move on so trundled off and disappeared into the greenery.
We've had these moveable caches for too long but today we got the chance to get them back out again, hidden with a mate
There have been a few caches in this area for a while now, they've had a find but it looked like they might still be in place so we decided to go for a look and there they were. We'll move them on again in the next few days. Thanks for the caches
Handed to Tassie Trekkers at a family catchup

We've had this little guy since just before the Covid-19 situation forced a hard lockdown on the NW coast of Tassie. We're finally getting out and about caching again so found a new home for this one to continue it's journey
We needed a find today to fill a gap on our dragon zone calendar and there was one conveniently not too far from home. mr sharnie's tribe made a quick find on his way home from work in a convenient but deserted spot so not in contravention of the new social distancing rules. We'll put this one out again when possible. TFTC
Moved this one tonight while out and about. TFTC
Found this one very easily yesterday morning while stopping to stretch my leg on the way to winnaleah for work.
approaching the cache it was very easily spotted as it wasnt hidden under the walkway very well and was sitting in the open. TFTC

moved to a place with a view, just not today with the rain
My second DNF for the night - think I will give up and go home. Either they have been picked up or I am not seeing so well in the dark. I will return in the daylight to have a more thorough look
We had to go to the Launceston area today for a family do and afterwards headed up to the Trevallyn Reserve to rehide some of the moveable caches we've collected up recently, they're waiting to be found by the next team
Several caches turned up just in time for spending Christmas with us, we'll get them rested up and back out again in a couple of days
Running out of time to get this cache out before Christmas so left it close to a local cacher

Moved to Tasmania and attending one of Nevilles legendary gatherings
With a morning free I took the opportunity to head out and attempt this trail of caches that popped up back in may plus a few more resent caches that are also located along the same stretch of road. According to the GCA map there was only six caches but when I was out there finding the caches I found an archived moveable cache which is very much alive and available to be found. BONUS! All caches were quick and enjoyable to find. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found for allowing them to bring enjoyment to me and the rest of the caching community. TFTC’S and TFTTP’s
P.S. The moveable caches have been left at above coordinates for the next finder to move on.
P.P.S. Friday 04 October 2019, I am hosting a CITO (GC8D448) and everyone is invited to join me. Hope to see you there.

Saw that someone had left these poor little defenseless creatures out in the bush in the dark, so we dashed off on a rescue mission. We will give them some counselling, and what medical aid they require, before releasing them into a more salubrious district.
Out for a night drive with Just a cacher and collected this lot to take south to Canberra.
One of twelve at this location. Bring a bag or find the other bunch first. A wombat has left its calling card at this location.
Found in the company of many others of the wandering kind - thanks to rogerw3 for the exchange.

Not quite there yet, but it will be there tomorrow. Don't bother looking this is gone as part of a prisoner exchange with tuena.
Picked up this one while in Mt Riverview, thanks Thommo31 for the moveables, much appreciated.

Found this one on the table at the event for Australia Day for the moveables. Thanks for the moveable which was one of 101 that made their way to Ebenezer from far away places to spend some time in the local winery before scattering to new places. Good luck on any further moves

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.
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.

Headed up to Ebenezer with LuckyL10n to attend the Aussie Day event. 45 degree day made for a bit of a fun trip, however it was pleasant in the winery building. A good few hardy souls were in attendance as well as over 100 moveables. Some good conversation with cachers not met before and a good couple of hours was had by all. The trip home was a little different to what was expected but turned out ok....
Thanks to all the CO's for the caches...

Called into Tizzana Winery to buy some wine and saw the moveables and the list. The family wanted to continue on so said "Hi" to a few we'd previously met then headed on with some wine. Diolch for the moveable. I didn't pick up any.

Attended the 'Australia Day Moveable Event 2018' and came face to face with other like minded cachers, one being another lucky (luckyl10n) and 101 moveables in the area. Many thanks to the CO's who have published them over time and others who bought them together for the event.

Found this one at the Australia Day Moveable Event 2018 event held at Tizzana Winery in Ebenezer. Another fantastic turnout at the event run for the current 2018/19 Journey or Destination game being run on Geocaching Australia which saw a total of 101 moveables come together. Thanks for sharing.

Grabbed from Tuena at a catch up in Wingello. Great to make a few finds and then sit in the comfort an air conditioned café with coffee and muffins.
Thanks to Tuena for the meeting and to CO for the cache.

Don't look here as the train load of moveables has departed & is heading south. Thanks to Sol de Lune for the swap which will occur on Saturday.
Found along with several others - many thanks to rogerW3 for transporting them down the coast.

Moved down the coast, don't go looking this will not be there until Tuesday and is already gone anyway!
Spotted this one at a little mini moveable convention up on the hill this afternoon. Signed our names and left it in the care of alnic39 to move on. Thanks for sharing.

Met up with alnic39 after work and a group of moveables were complaining of the cramped space that they were kept in. So while we were catching up we let them stretch their legs. Got their autographs & they wanted to know why they were so popular again. Told them it was part of the summer games & they were cool with that.

After that we gathered them back up and put them back into alnic39 yesgeomobile as he was destined to place them further up the mountains. Thanks for the moveable & good luck on your journeys

Dropped WOMBAT off so he can waddle to a new location.
I noticed this had been here since June so drove over in the rain today to see if it was still in residence. Hurried over to GZ in the drizzle. A small tree was over the road barrier and the end of the barrier looked broken but there was WOMBAT in the back out of the rain. So I have picked him up and will move him to a change of scenery.

Have had this one in the bag for a while...it even traveled north to Seal Rocks, but due to the weather conditions we didn't have an opportunity to find a hide for it. Was doing the rounds today and dropped off at the start of a quite street.
{*FTF} when I signed the log today at the Ebenezer event they were released to the wild. Left this one for others to take and move along.
