After finding ourselves with a bag of moveables we needed to get them back out again while the Blitz competition is still on in case anyone else needs them

This moveable cache was one of a group in a bag that arrived on our doorstep. This will help our tally in the Blitz game we hope, moving them all out again will be a big job but all part of the fun. We'll get them out again in the next couple of days. Thanks for the cache

This morning i was handed a bag of moveables by Trimbletas, this moveable was one of many in the bag. Thanks for a great moveable.

Found close to my gate today after a couple of shady looking characters arrived. Thanks for the presents. Will move on tomorrow TFTC

Found in the hands of budgietas then moved to trimbletas.

Handed to Trimble Tas

Found this cache at the recent movable event and took it to Ulverstone along with a bag of others.

After a day out caching with WhiteWebbs, Tassie Trekkers and Gooseandegg it was nice to attend the event and catch up with so many other GCA players, while there is found this moveable.

Hi sharnie's tribe

Today I was sitting at home sick of my lethargy so decided to go for a drive

Updated my GPS with GSAK and checked that all caches had been loaded properly
In the car and loaded the co-ordinates for this cache into the navigator and set off with my best friend.

The drive from Huonville to Hobart was very pleasant, chatting and laughing together
The two lots of road works were the only hindrance to an enjoyable drive; especially the first at which the red light held us up for about fifteen minutes. That’s so annoying when you want to get somewhere in a hurry. Passing through Hobart to the bridge was a breeze. We arrived at a very familiar parking spot on the Eastern Shore and were the only people there. No muggles to interfere with the search.

The walk from the car to Ground Zero was over familiar territory. I thought I knew where the cache would be hidden, but I was wrong! I searched some other familiar hides in the area with no luck.

So, I turned to the GPS and looked at the clue to know what type of hide I was looking for. But for some reason, the GPS did not play ball for some time and I found myself walking around in circles not seeming to get near the hide. I walked slower to give the GPS time to settle better but the unusual performance continued. I couldn’t figure out why it was performing in such an erratic manner as the weather was fine with little wind and almost no cloud cover. The only thing that may have caused interference was the tree cover but it had never created mayhem here previously. As I walked around I couldn’t see anything matching the hide description in the vicinity.

Found one spot in the general area that I thought “Ah! Here it is!” But not so; because if it was the cache had been found, and my search was in vein. Checked the logs on the GPS and the cache was still supposed to be there. Slowed my walking down yet again, and slowly but surely I was being taken to the hide.

There it was as described. The find was made and Sainted at 1235 hours after a search that should not have taken as long as it did. Incidentally, the co-ordinates were spot on. Photographs of the hiding place, your cache and its two hiding mates and the general area were taken.

I gathered up the three caches I had just found as well as my caching equipment and walked back to the car; wondering how many more times would I return to this area to find caches – I wonder? Back at the car where my bestie had been very patient, it was time to head to the next location where I would find two more cache for the day.

My experience today saw me nett five caches for which I took 1899 steps burning 12350 calories to walk 1.55 kilometres.

TFTC and Cheers

Celebrating 20 years of caching at the Ulverstone event

We needed to find four moveable caches this week to qualify for one of the research tasks so when the notifications came up for some that'd been left near the old Tioxide site we headed out to see if we could find them. After a brisk walk in a passing shower we found six moveable caches all hiding together in one spot so research task accomplished in one hit. We'll move them on in the next couple of days. Thanks for the cache

Moved while coming back from Burnie

Pick this one up while working in the north east, will bring it closer to civilisation.

Moved to the North East. TFTM

A great view from here

Picked up along with a few others that have been languishing on the side of Princes Hwy for six months

Little red helicopter is waiting for its next move watching the cows being milked nearby.

We were on our way to Kingston to a farewell for a group of Antarctic expeditioners leaving for Mawson via Davis on the Aurora Australis tomorrow and noticed some moveables beside the Southern Outlet. Had to detour along Proctors Road and collect a few. This was one of them.

Will move it along soon.

We woke this morning to find that four little moveables had stopped in Ulverstone and were waiting nearby. So after breakfast we found them enjoying a spot in the sun.

Thanks Sharnie's Tribe for some more of these bright little caches. We will get the Little Red Helicopter out and about very soon.

Happy travels Little Red Helicopter
