Description
Triceratops Dinosaur is a movable set up for the 2018 Spring Caching Carnival and Beyond.
Triceratops is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur that first appeared during the late Maastrichtian stage of the late Cretaceous period, about 68 million years ago (mya) in what is now North America. It is one of the last known non-avian dinosaur genera, and became extinct in the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event 66 million years ago.[1] The name Triceratops, which literally means "three-horned face", is derived from the Ancient Greek words τρί- (tri-) meaning "three", κέρας (kéras) meaning "horn", and ὤψ (ōps) meaning "face".[2][3]

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. A nice dinosaur and a good readable tag. TFTC HansJJ.

Dropped off with some mates and now touring Canberra in the hands of another cacher......!
I stopped by here friday to grab this one on my way to Bridport but it wasnt in its location, hope another team has found this.
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 few moveables along the way, including this one, which is now headed off to the National Capital. TFTC HanJJ
This guy is back out with some dino mates, and a couple of others to supervise the dino party.

Moved this one today while down in the Huonville area for family reasons. TFTC
Tonight while out for a drive we decided to target a group of moveables that had appeared in the Ulverstone area. A quick find was made with accurate co-ordinance. Will move all these moveables to the south of Tasmania tomorrow while we are down there. TFTC

This dinosaur has found a quiet nook in a garden bed to wait for its next move.
Found loitering nearby with some fellow travellers. As they are eager to being a tour of Tassie we will set them free soon.
We've had some moveable caches travelling with us for a while now, time to set them free in Tassie
A quick find as we make our way from Hay to Cootamundra, caching along the way. We've collected a few moveable caches along this road and will take them on a road trip with us. TFTC
I saw this trail of GCA caches appear about a month ago and have wanted to attempt it for quite a while. It ended up being a relaxing 3.5 hour drive around the country side. It’s nice to have a couple more GCA caches with a on them. I found a few different dinosaurs and other different types of hides. All caches found today were quick finds and were left at its current location for the next finder to move along. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found today and for allowing them to bring joy to me and the rest of the caching community. TFTC’s
P.S. The cache has been left at above coordinates for the next finder to move on.

Cache is now with me and will be relocated shortly. Nice to see a few more moveables.
Thanks for the cache....

Saw that someone had left these poor little defenseless creatures out in the bush in the dark, so we dashed off on a rescue mission. We will give them some counselling, and what medical aid they require, before releasing them into a more salubrious district.
Out for a night drive with Just a cacher and collected this lot to take south to Canberra.

Headed up to Ebenezer with LuckyL10n to attend the Aussie Day event. 45 degree day made for a bit of a fun trip, however it was pleasant in the winery building. A good few hardy souls were in attendance as well as over 100 moveables. Some good conversation with cachers not met before and a good couple of hours was had by all. The trip home was a little different to what was expected but turned out ok....
Thanks to all the CO's for the caches...

Called into Tizzana Winery to buy some wine and saw the moveables and the list. The family wanted to continue on so said "Hi" to a few we'd previously met then headed on with some wine. Diolch for the moveable. I didn't pick up any.

Attended the 'Australia Day Moveable Event 2018' and came face to face with other like minded cachers, one being another lucky (luckyl10n) and 101 moveables in the area. Many thanks to the CO's who have published them over time and others who bought them together for the event.

Found this one at the Australia Day Moveable Event 2018 event held at Tizzana Winery in Ebenezer. Another fantastic turnout at the event run for the current 2018/19 Journey or Destination game being run on Geocaching Australia which saw a total of 101 moveables come together. Thanks for sharing.

Had to go to the southside this afternoon to the CITO Down South and decided that I would take this little fella with me and move him to a new hiding spot to go on more adventures, hopefully someone will find him and his mates and go far far away. tftc HansJJ
Found at the CITO Birralee Pond, Palmerston, it looks a little angry this one so will move on this afternoon when I am on the other side of town. tftc Hansjj

Another one to hit the National Capital racing after a tour of the Bluies and the south coast.
#GA3146 - 12:00; I saw this dino had landed not too far from home yesterday afternoon and after heading out to drop a couple of others, took the long way home to collect him and a mate who were waiting patiently. Will move on again soon. TFTD HansJJ

Did a GCA PT today behind Collector & left this & a bunch of other moveables near one of the locations. Much closer to Canberra than my last location near Wingello.
Many thanks to Roger for bringing these caches down, a long rail journey.
