Description
Another dinosaur entry in the Geocaching Australia 2018 Spring Racing Carnival Dinosaur race.
Remember to move the dinosaur's on quickly. A quick move is a good move.
Just FYI - The Wiki link to the Dracoraptor Dinosaur - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracoraptor
Rules of the game
- Your Dinosaur Racer must be a genuine, bone fide dinosaur. It may be store bought or hand crafted. We recomend you clearly mark your GAnnnnn code on your Dinosaur Racer to distinguish it from 100 other identical Dinosaur Racers.
- Caches for the competition must be published on 1 September 2018 Australian Eastern Daylight Time (Geocaching Australia Time).
- Geocaching Australia has the facility to automatically publish your Dinosaur Racer on 1 September 2018. Check the wiki for how to achieve this.
- The game administrators decision is final.
- You may find and move your own Dinosaur Racer during the game period.
- Dinosaur Racers must be found and hidden by the same geocacher (i.e. no mailing the Dinosaur Racer to another geocacher to hide).
- There is no limit to the number of times a geocacher can find / move the Dinosaur Racer provided there are at least two other finds / moves in between.
- If the Dinosaur Racer has not moved within 7 days and you were not the last geocacher to find or move it then the "rule of two other finds / moves" does not apply and you are free to move the Dinosaur Racer again.
- If the Dinosaur Racer has not moved within 14 days, even if you were the last geocacher to find or move it then you are free to move the Dinosaur Racer again.
- If a geocacher moves your Dinosaur Racer overseas and it remains unfound overseas for 1 week or more, the Dinosaur Racer mover may move your Dinosaur Racer back to the country of origin without breaking the "2 moves" rule.
- There is no limit to the distance other geocachers can move the Dinosaur Racer.

He has travelled many kilometre's and is now back home resting under a nice tree. 
After returning from SA i put this with my geocache stuff which my wife promptly moved to a safe storage area within our house.
I have finally found all my stuff including DRACORAPTOR so he is going back out into the wilds for a new adventure.

No movement for over 10 months, so I'm archiving it. If the cache does resurface I'll re-instate the listing.
Our sixth and final find for the day, relying on the GA Cacher app as I'd forgotten to update the Garmin before leaving home. 
We have taken this funky lizard back to the suburbs to await it;'s next destination.
Thanks Sol de lune.

After a tour of Tasmania Dracoraptor was ready for a race around South Australia. Happy travels.
Decided to drop this small dinosaur off in a quiet spot near a river, should be a peaceful stop over
A quick find of two caches in the same location in a visit to the area to find a couple of moveable caches, a couple of history caches and a couple of GC caches. We'll move this one on asap. TFTC
Finding moveables around the Domain before we head back to Lonnie and this was one we found. A quick find due to accurate co ordinates and hint.
Many thanks Sol De Lune for publishing this cache and adding to our geocaching experience.

It is a little hard to believe that they are extinct, given the number of dinosaurs that we spotted at the Mystery Santa event at Dodges Ferry! TFTC

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.

Had this little dino in my hands for but the briefest of moments and transported only a short distance up the road, nice to have met you, happy travels.. thanks..!!
Noticed that a few moveables had recently been dropped off about the Trevallyn Reserve. Nothing for it but to head off to work early to collect up these playing cards and dinosaurs plus a few others.. thanks..!!

We needed to hide some of the moveable caches that we have in our possession and decided to see how many we could leave in the Trevallyn area. This cache started it's Tassie journey in the north west of the state and is now in the north waiting for it's next move. TFTC
A quick find in an area that has become something of a hot spot for moveable caches in recent times. What moveable cache wouldn't love this area, so many places to hide, not far off the main road and hardly anyone ever stops here. We'll move this one towards the north of the state asap. TFTC
One dinosaur that hitched a ride from the Brimbank event now out ready to tour Tassie
So many moveables came to the Meet the Moveables event today there was little to no chance of a different log for each one. Suffice to say that 4 hours of entertainment was had as we sorted through caches, found ones we had and hadn't logged, enjoyed the company of others and generally had a great time with the moveables, and Geocacher geocaches and even an ephemeral cache or two. Thanks for this moveable geocache which I logged today.
Rated: for Overall Experience
So many moveable. I hate copy paste logs but today I'll will fall. I'll make a separate note on caches I do anything extra with
Off...into the wild blue yonder, where to now is anyone's guess. Safe travels Dracoraptor...
Grabbed from it's hidey hole and will move on shortly.....maybe somewhere south of the National Capital.
I put these out in a familiar spot and they are now ready to be found.
Thanks
Albida
Thanks

I had received a heads up these were out again, so on a late afternoon retrieval mission I headed over to the location of this and a cluster of others in the nearby cemetery and was happy to be able to collect them. I will put them out soon.
Thanks
Albida
Thanks
Albida
This critter has now been moved in to a nice resting place ready to be found and moved on.
I headed out after work to target two clusters of GA moveables. The first spot seemed to be in the beer garden of the Old Canberra Inn. I suspect this is not right and there were no Guards nearby. I hope these can be located.
Thanks

Dropped off today before heading off on holidays
Found on the 22nd of September - unfortunately was not able to assist with the moment of these creatures until now. My bad.
Grabbed this little guy today - will move on soon

A quick move is a slow move for many dinos, but the little guys can be quick.....!
#GA3103 - 09:00; I saw this dino land near home last night, so popped out for a quick find this morning. Enjoying the dinosaur racing and will be interested to see where they all end up! TFTD Sol de lune
