Description
A new moveable cache about to begin it's journey
This small brightly coloured plane 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!

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! I needed a plane for one of the Sports.
Handed to Tassie Trekkers after the event.
Tracked him down. Found as part of the Cacheopoly games. Glad there were no snakes as lots of wood to search!

Back out in play. Do not access from highway.
found bit decided to leave. needs a new log book as it's wet and falling apart (usually carry some but left bag at home today)
The little plane has flown home to Tasmania
The Little Blue Plane has moved to a new location in Bicentennial Gardens. There is a fun game called Disc Golf played in the gardens with frisbees. The plane will feel at home close to the Byron Ballina Airport. The Little Blue Plane is happy to stay awhile but welcomes visitors to help him continue his travels. Thanks for your company.
I visited Schusters Park on the Gold Coast on the last day of Blitz 2021. I was amazed that the park was filled with movables. I attempted to find Little Blue Plane after finding a large assortment of reptiles. The park is very popular today with many large groups and people taking their dogs out to exercise. I looked at the hint and wasn't keen to put my hand in a hole and rummage in some gravel. I found the Plane by feel. The log is damp and mouldy and may not last. The Little Blue Plane will fly to a new location. Thanks Sharnie's Tribe for the movable.
While I did suggest hiding near the airport, the Little Blue Plane was somewhat concerned about all of the big aircraft using the runway. He thought he would be easily tossed around in turbulence whenever the big 737s and Air Buses took off and landed on runway 14 or 36. I told him about Samboo Park and how it was just right across the creek from the old Chewing Gum Air Museum and how some of the aircraft which were going to be displayed at the museum actually landed on the adjacent golf course.
Unfortunately the air museum and planes are gone but Little Blue Plane was keen to check out the park. He decided that as long as he avoided the newly planted koala trees, the open fields would make an ideal grass strip to practice his take offs and landings. He also looked at the bridge deciding that he could probably use some of the ramp to assist in getting his speed up, so is hiding on the bridge or should that be under?
Good luck Little Blue Plane.... clear skies.
Edited: Ops wrong co-ordinates, lucky I checked - all OK now.

Hello Little Blue Plane, welcome to the Gold Coast.
Not too much aviation happening at Rathdowney, although I did see the State Government Helicopter come for a medical retrieval on the oval once. Perhaps you might be happier being near the airport. There are still planes flying in and out, so you might be able to get that whiff of burning avgas you have clearly been craving. I shall see if I can find you a spot near the end so you can view the comings and goings until you are picked up.
Thank you for the moveable.

Found this moveable, as well as a swag of other ones between Casino and Lismore NSW - Never before have so many moveable caches appeared in my local area, so I took a drive and picked them all up. There's a few other cachers that I'm sure will love to see them too, so I'll share the love around and then they'll soon be on their way to their next location. Thanks for hiding this one!
Found tonight at an event in Gungahlin Canberra. Cool that the GA moveables come out while attending a GC event. Thanks for the cache
Spotted at the 02022020 event tonight in Canberra! Very cool, thanks for sharing!
Down at event for other GCA'ers to find/move!
Out and ready to be collected.
Thanks

After a morning of caching, I stopped in Casey to do some shopping and saw these just over the road. After a little detour on the way home and a short walk, I soon had three more moveables in hand.
Thanks

In the middle of a pine tree. Access by car should be ok if the roads are quiet, otherwise walking is notsobad

Picked up along with a few others that have been languishing on the side of Princes Hwy for six months
Little Blue Plane figure it would be safe waiting with a dinosaur in a fairly confined space.
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 this bright little cache and the {FTF}. We will help the Little Blue Plane on his travels by putting it out and about very soon.
