Liaoceratop
"Liao Horned Face", is a ceratopsian dinosaur believed to be an early relative of the horned ceratopsids. It lived in the Early Cretaceous, 126 million years ago. It was discovered in China by a team of American and Chinese scientists. Liaoceratops was much smaller than its later relatives, but offers a glimpse into the early evolution of this group of dinosaurs. (Courtesy of Wikipedia 2018)
If you collect all four of our dinosaurs together you may understand their names, especially if you have younger geokiddies.

Hi Nessell
A very early start to today
Met up with Budge and headed toward Launceston
Our main objective for the day was Rocherlea Trail
But on the way we would get those that were accessable
Half way through the walk we contacted the CO who met up with us and then our plans changed and we had anjoyable afternoon in the good company of Icybeetas
Really good to meet you today Ian - Thanks for sharing you arvo with us
For the day I netted 33 caches and a heap of moveables to boot
That effort saw me walk 10.40 kilometres
This cache was found quickly - it was Sainted when I met Icybeetas
Thanks for another great caching day Budge
TFTC and cheers

On a Drive to Oatlands, I thought it would be good to get the movables out of the car. A few stops and they were placed along the highway in places I could park.
They were placed going South to North, so there are a few you can only get going North

Out and about in a geocaching day. Dropping off moveables as I go.
Lachie Liaoceratop is back out again in the Trevallyn Reserve
A quick find on a day when we needed one to fill a gap on our DZ calendar. Good to have another team in the general area moving caches around. We'll move these caches along as soon as possible. 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.

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 moveable cache in my possession 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 a bit of a hot spot for moveables in recent times. What moveable cache wouldn't like this area, lots of places to hide, not far off the main road and hardly anyone ever goes there. We'll move this one on asap. TFTC
Lachie Liaoceratop has been with us for some time but decided to move on with some others that had become its friends. At the base of a tree.
We were heading towards Chiltern for a morning of caching and passed this moveable cache hiding close to a local car park. We pulled off the highway and soon had this cache and its campanion in our caching bag. Will take it on a little trip.
Spotted this moveable in the hands of Sol de Lune before he released it into the wild again.
Thank you for the cache !

#GA3164 - 17:45; I saw some foreign dinosaurs landing in the National Capital, so headed out to grab as many of them as I could before they could race off again. This was the last of four very productive stops for the evening run and another nice little nest of scalies. TFTC Nessell

Found amongst the large collection of visiting dinos at the Sydney Dinosaur Meeting in Bankstown. Travel on Lachie Liaoceratops!
Another moveable race, another event...and another reason to get out and about....
Decided late last night that I'd head up to Sydney for the Dinosaur Racer Swap meet event. Took about 16 racers with me to drop off, and managed to find a few as well...with this being one. Grabbed a few to bring back to Canberra and they will released around here shortly.
Thanks for this one Nessell....and great to meet you today. Always good when you can put a face to a name.….

Picked Lachie up this afternoon in preparation for the meet-up on the weekend. Hoping he can be reunited with his other band mates!
Found him sleeping (of course) right where geo-boy left him over two weeks ago. Wake Up Lachie!!
