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
 
27-Mar-20
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

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! Big Grin 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. Big Grin TFTC’S and TFTTP’s Big Grin

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. Big Grin

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.

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.
 
26-Jan-19
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.

Picked up at the event at Tizzana and taking it back to the Blue Mountains.

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.
 
10-Oct-18
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.
 
12-Jun-18
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.
 
26-May-18
{*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.
