Fossilosaurus Swan Reach, South Australia, Australia

Thought we'd check out the moveable even though it had us wondering why it hadn't been moved sooner. Thought the perfect south and east co-ords looked too good to be true so maybe one was a typo. If not, the cache is in fenced private property. The previous hider might be able to confirm if it's the correct spot though it's a long shot.

Picked this little fellow up on my travels today.
Was surprised by how low the reservoir is still after all the rain we have had recently!
Will move it along soon
Cheers

Resting within the grounds of Mount Bold Reservoir.

Access to this spot is from 9.00 am – 4.00 pm, year-round.

A quick find in a nice little roadside park.

We'll take this prehistoric reptile back to J & J HQ for a week or two before re-releasing somewhere else soon.

Thanks OldSaint.

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.

Another dinosaur part of the SA invasion

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. TFTC

Dropped off close to another caching team

Found as we went headed into Kingston. Will move on soon

Found again and left in place for the next finder

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

Found hanging out with Neville. Will be moved soon.

Quick find while in the company of gooseandegg, I will move on as soon as I can but since I have so many it could take me a few days

Thanks for the moveable.

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.

Out and about on a beautiful Tassie summer day. Over the last few weeks we seem to have collected up a few moveable caches and decided today was the day to get them all back out again. Happy travels little dinosaur

A quick find by mr sharnie's tribe flying solo on a work day. Needed a find today to fill a gap on our DZ calendar and ended up with eight! We'll get these out again at the weekend

Thanks to all the CO's for all the fun chasing these around the state!

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

Rated: for Overall Experience

After a bit of caching on the north west coast over the last few days we found ourselves with a car load of dinosaurs so decided to make an expedition to the Trevallyn Reserve to find them all new homes. There's now a tribe of them lurking about waiting for their next find

A quick find not far from home. Fossilosaurus was found in an area that has been frequented by dinosaurs in the last few weeks! Will move him towards the north of the state at the weekend. TFTC

Fossilosaurus is out and about enjoying a spot of sun near the sea.

Found this evil eyed beast in the end of a guard rail with a few others.

Will move it along after taking it on a trip north.

Very strange, some dinos are here and some are not. Hopefully someone has done a selective dino run!
