Description
A new moveable cache about to begin it's journey
This small brightly coloured digger is about to start her journey out in the big wide world of caching. She's got three siblings who are also beginning their journeys and we'll see which one travels furthest and quickest.
All the usual rules for moveable caches apply, log your find with a green tick and a move with a blue arrow. Move her on as soon as possible and hide her carefully so her journey continues for as long as possible.
Happy travels little guy!

Have looked for this one twice and came up empty handed. Lots of rocks in the area but a big tree has been removed and I wonder if the digger was muggled during the cleanup.
Out this way today moving furniture for a family member. With a couple of hours to spare I went on a mini cache run and this was one of the moveables I picked up along the way 
Very pretty spot here. Will get it out and about again soon
Cheers

did a gca swap because this is a lovely location
I had an afternoon grabbing a few caches, then I decided to check to see if GCA had anything new to offer - wait what! a trail of new GCA moveables was in town thanks to the lovely 2'ystassies, I love GCA caches, but alas people usually come to Adelaide and take the movables back with them interstate without dropping some new ones for us to find - not today, SA has been restocked and I will get these out and scattered as soon as possible.

Little digger is hoping to start a tour of South Australia.
Found waiting patiently by the garage door with a mottled collection of moveables all hoping for an adventure. Will be off and out soon.
We've had a collection of moveable caches for way too long, apologies to the cache owners, so have passed them on to another team to take with them on an expedition, happy travels
Some last minute finds in the summer game to give us the chance to hopefully grab some points. These caches arrived unexpectedly on the last day for the triple points, we'll move them on again asap. Was great to see this little guy again. TFTC
Dropped off close to another caching team
Relogged as moved and ready to be found again.
A big thank you to the GCA volunteers for giving up there time to fix a one in a million failure and getting us all caching again.
Thanks

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.

The GeoGSP and I took this guy out for our late afternoon walk this afternoon. After a walk along the beach we returned via a dinosaur hiding place and this guy decided he would like to stay and hang out close to them.

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 another of these bright little caches and the {FTF}. Little Yellow Digger will be on its travels again very soon.
