Description

A participant in the 2018 DragonZone Spring Cacing Carnival moveable race.

 

Argentinosaurus was a species of suropod dinosaur found in South America. It is considered as the largest dinosaur which ever lived and is estimated to have grown to 30-35 metres in length and weighing between 80-100 tonnes. It is thought that they never stopped growing during their lifetime.

I was placed by MalDawg and started my Journey in Toowoomba, QLD.  Please find me and help me keep moving

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.

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.

Day 78 Mainland trip (now heading to OZGM)
Out and about caching in and around Coffs Harbour with Tassie Trekkers and we stopped to find a dino. A quick rescue from his rocky hide. TFTM
 
02-Nov-18
Moved 185.75km
This little fellow decided to tag along for a quick trip to Coffs Harbour. After some time at the beach, and then to the jetty - it was time to come home. We stopped at the lookout for a coffee, and Argentinosaurus decided he's like to stay up here. There's a GCA cache close by, and he wants to keep his eye on it! So with that said, we drove away and left this little fellow at a beautiful lookout with amazing views.
 
28-Oct-18
Crusin' towards Byron today and heard the cry of a dinosaur. Looks like there were some storms brewing, so we hunted this fellow down. Found him tucked away nice and safe. We may have the opportunity to travel down to the mid north coast this week, so decided to pick him up and he can come for the drive!
