This little dinosaur was going to come with me and a few dino friends to check out the view from the Lansdowne lookout and trigs, but the road was closed. The dinosaurs seemed to like the forest so they stayed behind in a burnt out stump by the side of the road near an intersection.

Happy travels little one.

Thanks indeed to now_to_morrow.
Not extinct after all.. happy travels..

You're lucky someone got this hide mixed up with another nearby. I wouldn't have noticed it was archived and it possibly would have stayed there lost forever.

But here it is. Alive and well and ready to roll on to another location.

It’s been well over twelve months since this cache was last found.. time for it to be archived. If it resurfaces, will resurrect.. thanks..

Ravishing Red Raptor is happy to arrive in a new location. Red is situated in a tranquil arboretum. He roared his approval of his rock cave. This will do just fine. He is happy to enjoy the greenery for a while but welcomes visitors to call in for a chat. 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 Brachiosaurus after finding Zone of the Dragon and Flynn Frog. I read the hint and navigated to a large stump by the creek. The stump was actually a large tree dislodged and lying on it’s side. I searched a few hollows and decided the readings were affected by the tree cover. I moved onwards and found the right stump. Brachiosaurus was slightly peaking out of the leaf litter and when I pulled him free discovered he was quite a robust character. He let out a loud roar and I was worried he might scare the passersby. Feeling energetic and ready to move to a new location. Thanks dankpig for the movable.

As you would know Ravishing Red is hiding out with Brachiosaurus. I called in to Samboo Park today to see how my froggy, dinosaur and other movable friends were going.

I found Brachiosaurus sticking his head up above the mulch. I think being so close to the creek he wanted to see what was going on, but he is perfectly safe, Ravishing Red is happy to continue to stay under cover. Both are patiently waiting for a lift.

Oops, I think Red has been at my house for too long. He was trying to hide amongst the other members of my Krew but I can understand that, there is a beer virus out there. Anyway, its time for him to move on. I suggested he might like to move to Samboo Park - the council calls it something else but I have lots of caches here, so its my park.

Ravishing Red is hiding with GA11662 Brachiosaurus. I hope they will get along.

Save travels Red.

PS. Oops, the ought to have been a moved logged. Fixed now!

I do not know how they know. Is it my legendary hospitality? its it my location in vacation spot central? I often find moveables making themselves known to me when I pass though and area. So it was today.

We'd only decided on a trip to Beaudesert this morning - surely the moveable grapevine does not work that fast, but as we drove down the hill towards town, I thought I heard a dinosaur hiding on the side of the road. I asked Suzy and Pete to turn around near the servo, so we could go and investigate. The nearest parking spot was over 400m in the park but there was good path and I travel in the backpack anyway. As we got closer, we discovered Ravishing Red Raptor hiding in a tree. When I went to say hello, he started nibbling on my toes.

"Are you hungry?" I asked, the response was in the positive, so I invited him to join us for lunch - as long as he would keep away from my toes. My feet are really weird anyway, with having bits missing thanks to hungry dinosaurs. He can rest with us for a while, then we'll find a new spot for him. Turns out he doesn't really like toes anyway, but prefers red things.

Thanks for the moveable.

Was in Beaudesert today and found a nice place for a small to medium dinosaur. He's waiting in the fork of a tree patiently for the next cacher.

I saw that there were a couple of dinosaurs near Byron Bay, looking for a lift so I called in to find them. This fellow was a nice quick find, so he’s riding with me. His mate though, that’s another story. I looked and looked and could find him. I’ll take this bloke to the Gold Coast on the weekend and find a nice spot for him to reside.

Ravishing Red has a new log and bison as the previous one was missing and Red was traveling as a gypsie. Red is still with it's travel buddy and can be found at The Farm Byron bay! Happy travels!

Well, I found Ravishing Red in what must be a dinosaur hang out. The word is out, Thunderbolts rock is the place to be! Same exact hiding place as Willifindyousauras a few weeks ago of course I also picked up Reds travel companion. Again they will enjoy some time on the back of my bike before being re-hidded on the coast sometime soon! Thanks for the hide Geono. P.S. I will attempt to replace the missing bison and log sheet.

Left Ravishing to spend some time where a famous, or should that be infamous local used to hang out. Thunderbolts Rock was one of the places the bushranger Thunderbolt was known to hide. Ravishing's not alone, Dinosaur Hunting #7 is keeping him company. TFTM dankpig.

Who can resist a cache with 'ravishing' in the name.... ? Actually we were quite glad it was only the scales of Ravishing Red Raptor amongst the spider webs in the guard rail and not something more menacing. A marvellously colourful dinosaur! It appears Ravishing may have had a container and log once... if so, there's none there now. Picked up along with the little bingo vehicle that were holed up together. TFTC dankpig.

Travelled north to retrieve a whole bunch of moveables that had become stranded in a broken down car. A good trip resulted in the rescue of 33 caches. This was one of them . Thanks for the cache.

The game is coming to an end I have been fortunate enough to get to see a last minute cluster of moveabales brought down from Sydney. Even more impressive, they came despite a full car failure.

Thanks

Now in Canberra but already in the hands of another cacher...

Found this one on the table at the event for Australia Day for the moveables. Thanks for the moveable which was one of 101 that made their way to Ebenezer from far away places to spend some time in the local winery before scattering to new places. Good luck on any further moves

The latest Geocaching Australia game runs from 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST

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.

A moving cache, by nature, may have been moved since you last determined its location. It may have been picked up but not yet rehidden so it's considered 'in-transit'. There is no foolproof method of determining where a cache is simply by the log types that have been placed against the cache.

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...

Found at the Australia Day event at Tizzana

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.

In my safe hands, will be moved on soon.
Picked up from Watermans Bay, a northern coastal suburb of Perth WA; within local government area City of Stirling.
The area originally formed part of the Hamersley Estate, owned by the Hamersley family, who arrived from Europe to settle in the Swan River Colony in 1837 and built a summer home just south of Waterman called "The Castle" in 1865, where their large family as well as the Perth elite congregated for summer holidays. Many of the street names in the suburb honour members of the Hamersley family: Ethel, Margaret, Mary, Ada and Elsie.

Raptor and his friends were found whilst they were attending the Parkville mega event and whilst this was on there was also a GA event for all the cachers to meet up and then to see a huge collection of moveables. Raptor was glad to see me and we went off for a ride on the ebike and looked at some sights and grabbed a few friends for him to travel with. They also went on lots of tram rides in Melbourne and then to St Kilda which they were so excited about. They got to see a funeral procession in Bourke street for a cafe owner which was very moving. But then it was time to head to the airport.

After having brought Raptor and his several moveables back from Melbourne i decided to head around the area today and drop them off so they could see this great state of ours and enjoy the many sights that there are to see. They really enjoyed their plane ride to Perth especially the view out of the window. They were excited to be in Western Australia and could not wait to look around and meet some new friends.
Thanks for Raptor dankpig

I travelled back home to SA from Perth for family reasons and decided that Melbourne is only a short hop from Adelaide, so I logged an attendance at the Parkville Mega event and headed over for 5 days in Melbourne. I hired an E bike and had it for 4 days so was able to get around to many places and grab lots of caches as well as biking from the Youth Hostel in North Melbourne to Parkeville which was only a short ride. I arrived Thursday arvo and headed into the cbd from North Melbourne for a quick look around and then back to the Hostel I headed out to the mega event and grabbed lots of caches through the day and then in the evening all the moveables appeared from nowhere and so i grabbed a couple to take on a plane trip to the west.
However inb the meantime this dinosaur got to see lots of sights around Melbourne for the next 2 days while i had the ebike and he bumped into a couple more moveable friends along the way. Thanks for the dinosaur Dankpig he will get back to Victoria one day.

found at the Mega event in the company of some other moveables but left there as I had no luggage allowance to take back to Tasmania. I had tried to get this one when it was in Tasmania and I had to come over here to find it. TFTC dankpig

Red Ravishing Raptor has begun its travels around the big island.

On our arrival home from a trip south we were greeted by a delegation of moveable caches wishing to be picked up. This was one of them. We will move it on soon

We picked up some moveable caches in Hobart last weekend and they're hoping to do some travelling so dropped them off with a team who are about to depart for the big island. Happy travels

A quick find on a weekend in the south for a unicorn themed birthday party. Managed to sneak away for a few minutes to do some caching but the real focus of the weekend was on the grandkids, gotta love 'em! TFTC

Had to drop into the vet after the work today, and decided to take the GeoGSP for a walk around nearby Rosny Hill afterwards. Remembered to grab a few moveables from home before we left so I could drop a couple off on the drive home. This one is back out with a mate.

Thanks for the moveable. The GeoGSP and I went out for a walk after work tonight and found this guy out with some mates. He came along for the walk with us and will be back out again soon.

Ravishing Red Raptor is back out waiting for the next team to come along and give him a ride in the next leg of his race

A quick find not too far from home, who'd have thought there'd be dinosaur discoveries in the Somerset area! We'll move him on again asap. TFTC

Ravishing Red is hiding at the beach not far from Dorothy. Happy travels red one.

After locating Dorothy, who was listed as being in the Nunamara area, we moved to the other end of the quard rail - some 6m away where we found Ravishing Red rearing to go. Surprisingly Ravishing Red was listed in the St Leonards area. Ahh the vaguaries of town boundaries.

Thanks for another racing dinosaur Dankpig we will get it out and racing again soon.

Dropped off on the way back from Mount Barrow trail , another mate is nearby

Found while out dropping off some moveables in a nearby reserve. He is off and racing in the Carnival

see you out there.. somewhere
