Description
This cache has been hidden just prior to the commencement of the Journey or Destination game to help GCA players find another moveable cache to log during the games. Rules state - "Moveable (you will qualify only once for a find on a moveable geocache)". Please move and rehide asap so other game players can log the cache.
Check out the Journey or Destination Game
The latest Geocaching Australia game runs from 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST
This new 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.

yep, held these movables for too long – needed a drive today – your able to pull over safely at this spot - S33 23.858 E151 12.777 – will need to be unarchived
This moveable cache has been with the previous finder for over 4 months and has not been relocated. To avoid cachers searching for a cache that is not at the posted co-ords, we will archive it.
If the cache appears again, the listing can simply be reinstated...

Alnic took it for a drive to the ACT and back. Hope to move it to a new location shortly.
I have moved coords to an inaccessible location as its no longer in Mt.Riverview and hasnt been logged anywhere yet. This is so cachers dont come looking for it here.
Found today with thomo31, it will be on the move again soon.

Found in in the late afternoon...just before the rain hit. I got wet! I will come back and pick these up before I go on my next road trip.
Moved closer to the big smoke. In crook of twin trunk tree under litter.
Recovered today with thomo31, will move on in a few days. Thanks for the cache.

I noticed these four moveables along the way to Majura pk last week, but did not have the time to stop. Today I decided that since they were still here they deserved to picked up to be moved on.

Camping on the side of a dirt track near Petwood.
A reasonably quick find, once I found the right stump. Mrs J used to work not far from here at UCW Bowden, so she knew all of these backstreets like the back of her hand.
This moving geocache is now back at J & J HQ, awaiting it's next move.
Thanks whitewebbs.

I have heard Camper is safe. Now unarchiving so his adventures will continue.
Reading previous logs, this moveable may still be in location OR may have been found, removed and not relocated yet. We know moveables can sometimes be forgotten / missed / left in the bottom of a caching bag, so a check has been undertaken on this one.
An update will be posted within 28 days….

While on a quick pick up expedition we made use of the opportunity to put out a couple of moveables that have been travelling with us.
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
We were in the area to visit family and they decided to come along with us to see if we could find some moveable caches. We needed a find today to fill a gap on our dragon zone calendar and ended up finding seven so a good day, the grandkids were impressed. We'll move theses ones along asap. TFTC
Hunting moveables in the Trevallyn Reserve and this was one we found.

A quick trip today to the Launceston area to rehide some of the moveable caches we seem to have collected up. This area has become a bit of a transfer station for moveables travelling through the north of Tassie. Happy travels
A quick find in an area that has become something of a hot spot for moveable caches in recent times. What moveable cache wouldn't love this area, so many places to hide, not far off the main road and hardly anyone ever stops here. We'll move this one on asap. TFTC
Found on the table at the Moveables are here event at Riverside this evening. This one will come with us to continue its travels in the state.
One of several moveables we spotted at our Event today.

This fine summer's evening attended geocaching australia event: The Moveables are Here!!, graciously hosted by Tassie Trekkers. Was fortunate to make it to the event as was not working and I only noted that it was going to be held on the previous evening - almost missed it. So many moveables in the one spot, roughly 150 in attendance. Nothing for it but to record a couple of notebook pages full of numbers. A very cute little camper found among others, parked up at Riverside.. thanks..!!

This cache will be attending the GA13289 The Moveables are Here Event 3.12.18 at the Tail Race, Riverside. Please don't look for me yet as I am hitching a ride!
Hi whitewebbs and thanks for this moveable that I spotted whilst tabled at the Snug event.
I left it in place for others to find and move on.
I left it in place for others to find and move on.
Found at the Snug moveable meet along with many other moveables. What a busy time I will have logging all these moveables. I found four moveables at Evandale and bought these along for the ride. Other people bought many more though! Everyone had a great time. Today’s event will help everyone in their position on the ladder for the summer game. The game is described below

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. In general the following applies:
A moved log with new co-ordinates indicates that the cache is in the new location ready to be found.
A found log with new co-ordinates indicates that the cache is in the new location ready to be found.
A found log with no new co-ordinates may indicate one of two situations:
The cache has been found and left in place.
The best way to determine this is to read the found log and hopefully the cacher who found the cache has indicated whether it is still in place.
The cache has been found and the cacher has taken it away to re-hide it.
The best was to determine this is to read the found log and hopefully the cacher who found the cache has indicated whether they have taken it away.
In essence, you will need to read the last log to determine whether the cache is in place or whether the cache has been moved. Remember that even though the logs indicate the cache may be at a certain location, it may have been picked up and moved only moments before you arrived. That's part of the challenge of a moving cache; you're never quite sure whether it's a DNF because you can't spot it or it's been moved along.

Out and about today with RLD4963 and the GeoGSP, I stopped in at the moveable event (GA13269). It was flat out spotting and logging moveable caches - not quite seen no much action at a geocaching event before. Luckily there was a nearby GC event after this one, where we could recover with a cuppa and a biscuit. Good luck to everyone for the current GCA game, and thanks to everyone who has published geocaches in time for the event! Cheers. Thanks whitewebbs.

A good turn out by the die-hards to find all these trackables and movables.
A great time had by everyone! I left it on the table.

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. In general the following applies:
A moved log with new co-ordinates indicates that the cache is in the new location ready to be found.
A found log with new co-ordinates indicates that the cache is in the new location ready to be found.
A found log with no new co-ordinates may indicate one of two situations:
The cache has been found and left in place.
The best way to determine this is to read the found log and hopefully the cacher who found the cache has indicated
whether it is still in place.
The cache has been found and the cacher has taken it away to re-hide it.
The best was to determine this is to read the found log and hopefully the cacher who found the cache has indicated
whether they have taken it away.
In essence, you will need to read the last log to determine whether the cache is in place or whether the cache has
been moved. Remember that even though the logs indicate the cache may be at a certain location, it may have been
picked up and moved only moments before you arrived. That's part of the challenge of a moving cache; you're never
quite sure whether it's a DNF because you can't spot it or it's been moved along.
A quick event that was tied in with a nearby GC event that was scheduled after this. Coming at the start of the new
summer games also allowed the attendees to rack up a few points for the Journey or Destination Game (information
below)
The latest Geocaching Australia game runs from 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST
This new 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.

Wow what a collection of moveables there was to be had today at the Snug Event and this was one of them. It was like feeding time at the Zoo. A well supported event. Well done SSR on getting us together. TFTM
Rated: for Overall Experience
Found at the Snug moveable meet (GA13269)
Wow there were a lot of moveable caches there of lots of different sizes
A great time was had by the people that attended

The event was a great idea (well done Stainless Steel Rat) as it tied in with a nearby GC event that was scheduled after this. Coming at the start of the new summer games also allowed the attendees to rack up a few points for the Journey or Destination Game (information below)

Hi whitewebbs
Had just logged your cache GA13134 "Are you digging in the Journey or Destination game" when I looked at the Tasmanian Dashboard and noticed some new caches not far from home
Caching gear was gathered together, the cache mobile was fired up and away caching I did go, somewhat expectantly as I have a pennant bowls game today
Arrived at what is now a familiar parking spot
Nice sunny morning made the views here specky today
Found and Sainted this cache at 0734 hours
A *FTF* which is appreciated very much - Thank you
TFTC and cheers

My FINDS: GCA 3233; GC 3574; TOTAL 6807
