Description
Spring Caching Carnival of 2018 Moveable Dinosaur Race
I am the Tasmaniansaurus (Tasmania's own two headed dinosaur) taking part in the Spring Caching Carnival of 2018. The Spring Caching Carnival is a game where geocaching Dinosaur Racers will race around the world accumulating finds, moves and distance in order for their owner to be crowned King or Queen of the Spring Caching Carnival.
Racing commences 01-Sep-2018 00:00:00 to 30-Sep-2018 23:59:59 AEST
Rules of the game:
- 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.
Etiquette:
- Avoid rehiding a Dinosaur Racer far from active geocachers territory as it basically exits the dinosaur from the race
- When rehiding a Dinosaur Racer get good co-ordinates. Seriously. Don't dump and run. Get co-ords as you would a permanent geocache
- When making your log against a Dinosaur Racer include a GOOD HINT so the finder can identify whether it's been moved, muggled or just a bad GPS day
- This is a challenge of moving Dinosaur Racer along, not trying to make them impossible to find, so help you fellow players out by making the game enjoyable
- Please avoid hiding movable caches near existing Groundspeak or Geocaching Australia geocaches. At Groundspeak geocaches they go missing as rubbish or taken as trades. At Geocaching Australia geocaches the other geocache ends up travelling as well which it's not supposed to. So please find a location away from any existing geocaches (except of course other movable geocaches) to keep the Dinosaur Racer in play for as long as possible.
Please come and find me and move me on quickly.

Cache has been with the previous finder for almost 12 months. To avoid others looking for a cache that is not in the stated location, this cache is being archived. If it appears again, it can be reinstated…
Picked these up today with fitzy. We will get them back out into the wild soon.

Moved to Callum Brae Nature Reserve. Follow the track from the entrance gate off Narrabundah Lane. Hidden in the end of a large fallen tree, at ground level, just beyond where the path splits into two. See spoiler picture.
I picked up a bag of moveables. This was in it. TFTC whitewebbs.

For a bit of a change from sitting in front of the computer solving jigsaws today, I managed to discover this and a few other Moveables. They aren't moving much during this period of isolation due to the COVID 19 restrictions which are being lifted gradually so it is good to be able to log these thanks to SDL. All available logs were signed and replaced. Thanks Whitewebbs for this fellow.

Found in the hands of Albida33 and andrewbt after we all found an night cache tonight in Jerrabomberra. Very cool cache - thanks for sharing!
I was happy to be able to pick these up soon after they were placed. It is nice to see new clusters of moveable about.
Thanks

#GA4112 - 15:25; On the way to Devonport to catch up with friends before boarding the boat and heading back to the big island. Stopped off to grab a couple of moveables along the way, including this one, which is now headed off to the National Capital. TFTC whitewebbs

This little dinosaur traveller is back out in the wild waiting for it's next move, happy travels
We needed a find today to fill a gap on our dragon zone calendar and targeted this one. So mr sharnie's tribe headed out on a solo mission and made the find in an area we've visited before for caching. Funny how a thing can blend in in a tree and be hard to spot. We'll move this one towards the north of the state. TFTC
moved this one today whilst working in the wynyard area. TFTC
Found this in the hands of Trimbletas sitting on his desk at work. TFTC

Over for my yearly visit to Maffra for work. I had some time up my sleeve today before I headed back to Melbourne to get back on the big red bathtub destined for home. After finished my work duties in Maffra, I had to go to Sale to Aldi. I really wish we had Aldi in Tassie. Found the little two headed bugger skulking in a Guard rail opposite a school.

Picked up along with a few others that have been languishing on the side of Princes Hwy for six months
After racing around Tasmania Tasmaniansaurus is ready to tour the big island.
After watching the Orange Roughy heading off on its penultimate summer in the Southern Ocean we headed to the eastern shore to catch up with family. Picked up a group of moveables that had been hiding in a large log for some time. This was one of them.
They will be back out soon

A bit of a run out for me to find a load of dino's, chasing the goose doesnt have the same level of enjoyment as chasing birds in my youth let me tell you!
Left home at 8.45am and got home at 8pm, i'm too old for this stuff, i'm knackered!
Quick find and will hide later today

Quickly dropped off to continue its journey
Dropped off by the river for a swim and a beautiful day for a swim it is. But hurry and find me before I swim off or the race ends. I am hiding under a bush near a big gum tree with six of my mates who have stopped by. We are having a dinosaur party and waiting for Dorothy to arrive.
had this dinosaur in my possession for but a fleeting moment. readily hidden away again as I travelled about the trevallyn reserve as I gathered up others.. happy travels.. thanks..!!
