Description
Logs
A quick find while in the inner Eastern suburbs today.
We were surprised to find this with eleven other caches all in one container together, despite each butterfly being it's own moving cache. We'll spread them all out separately somewhere soon.
Thanks Tassie Trekkers.

Swung by and checked these out. Don't have much time to move things about at the moment, so left in place. TFTC TT!
I was given a heads up these were out in play, so I took a quick visit down to check them pout. I left them in place for the next finder.
Thanks

#GA3870 - 18:00; Spotted this butterfly as it fluttered by in the hands of Sol de lune today. It was a bit far out for me to grab last time I was down Mexico way, so happy to see it head north to the National Capital. TFTC Tassie Trekkers

Down to Melbourne for the weekend with a side trip to Geelong to grab a few caches. Once the way in was found the caches were soon found and safely in hand.
Thanks TT. Caches are now with me and will come for a drive back up the highway.

The bag of butterflies has been relocated to wintery Geelong for a visit.
Found by caughtatwork ealy in the cool, cool afternoon here in Melbourne.
A quick find with a set of 12 beautiful butterflies all in a bright pink bag (that will make rehiding a little tricky).
We've picked these up as a collection and will be moving along very shortly.
Thanks for this great collection of Geocaching Australia geocaches all in one location.
Took nothing, left nothing.

I was returning home from Newport and detoured here past GZ.
After reading the logs online I wandered how the family would fit here.
On arrival I worked out how.
Could be a bit of time logging these.
May use a shortcut.
Will look at moving on at some stage soon.

This tiny cache is beginning its tour of the big island tucked away with eleven mates. Hopefully it is well protected from the cold, wet weather that would usually be fatal to this species.
Picked up at the end of the event as there were no other teams interested in GA moveables. Will move along soon
Handed to another team at the event in Devonport today. That team is going on an expedition soon so may take these moveable caches along for the ride
A quick find by mr sharnie's tribe on a beautiful Tassie winter day. We needed a find today to fill a gap on our DZ calendar so really glad these caches landed in a nearby moveable transfer station. We'll move this cloud of colourful butterflies towards the north of the state as soon as possible. TFTC
After resting out of the winter weather the butterflies fluttered out into the sun shine before returning to their 600ml, small pencil case container to wait for their next move.
It's a shame when someone changes the cache container from one size to another without the COs permission and knowledge
Attached are two photographs of the original cache container which was a "regular" as per the cache page

At last we have managed to capture the elusive butterfly house and its inhabitants. We have made many attempts in the months since these were published but each time the caches have been spirited away before we could reach them. Today this one was nabbed along with its mates. However it would appear that the cold weather in the south of the statenhas shrunk container and its residents as this little flutterby is no longer than half the length of Mrs Y'stassie's index finger - the smallest regular cache we have found. We will protect it from the threatened snow and move it north very soon.
These Butterflies have fluttered to the south of the State.
Found this moveable while out exploring the area today, the group will be back out soon as possible.

Out and about on a beautiful Good Friday afternoon and found a suitable place to release this cloud of butterflies, hope they enjoyed their time with the tribe
In the Launceston area today for a family event and grabbed a few minutes to visit the reserve to try to collect a cache on a day that's a gap on our DZ calendar. We've also had a small collection of moveables for the last couple of weeks that needed to be moved on so they're out now as well. Thanks for this collection, will move them towards the north west coast
had this bag of flutterbies in my possession for but the briefest of moments. dropped off in another likely spot within the Trevallyn Reserve. thanks..!!
a rare day off work and the others off to work and school. what to do, what to do???, I know, head into town or more specifically the fabulous moveable hiding ground of the trevallyn reserve. checked the logs to find that a number of newly arrived moveables were languishing about these parts and awaiting my attentions. an overcast day with a threat of rain, however, it held off and i managed to stay dry. located a few other moveables nearby and then walked on just a little further to note a very suspicious pile of bark beneath a larger rock. i reckon that might be where those flutterbies might be hiding. the bark removed revealed a very colourful container. within lie a multitude of colourful creatures, each carefully numbered and needing to be logged. The butterflies safely secured in the car, headed out on foot to scout out a nearby location where i intend hiding a geocaching.com traditional. Will return later in the day to install and it should appear in the next couple of days. anyway, I appear to be going on and on and on, the suspicious mind may surmise that i might be trying to boost my log word count. personally, i don't know that I would be that deliberate or devious in my logs.. never.. anyways, if you have just read this log i apologise for wasting a minute or more of your time. i wonder if i were to carry on, could i squeeze in a few more words, no.. farewell.. thanks..!! - oh alright, just a few more.. bye.

Hi Trekkers
After completing some family obligations, I decided to take some time and go find some caches
These were the second for the day and it took me back to an area that I visit often re moveables
Arrived and parked, took a short walk and soon had the cache(s) to hand in the first place that I looked
Great little area

In the dark past a life form existed that has now passed into the realm of legend. Born of an egg, with serpentine or reptilian traits, the life form existed throughout many ages in time and in the myths of many cultures across the earth. They are the dragons.
Dragons, from the Latin draconem - meaning huge serpent - are supposedly mythological representations of huge firebreathing lizards or snakes. With large batlike wings and hard, armoured hides they live in underground lairs or caves, only emerging to wreak havoc on unsuspecting rival clans.
The legends speak of capturing princesses and destroying villages, of burning forests and consuming those who did not revere them or provide them treasure. The legends tell tales of heroic hunters, dragon hunters, who sought out the dragons and engaged them in epic battle to rid the earth of the foul creatures. The legends say that all dragons are now extinct - if they ever existed at all - other than in tall stories or tales long committed to the fantasy books of old.
The myths of the dragons are further from the truths you have been told, and closer to reality than you could ever suspect.
Dragons are known to exist. They are not legend. They are real. They live in the dragonZone.
Dragons are fiercely territorial, and intensely loyal. They rule over areas of land, making life merry for those clans who control their treasures, and attacking all others who would try to gain control over their treasures. These territories are known as the dragonZones. Clans battle to control the treasures that exist in the dragonZones; for the more treasure that is controlled, the greater their control over the presiding dragon.
There are four rival clans battling for control of the dragonZones: Clan Griffin, Clan Phoenix, Clan Cerberus, and Clan Minotaur. Choose your clan wisely, for should the numbers in each clan become unbalanced, restoration of the balance may be undertaken by divine intervention.
Attacks by rival clans to control the treasure, and therefore the dragons, are frequent. Excursions into opposing clan territory happen every day, from dawn until dusk, and from sunset to sunrise, until a new clan controls enough treasure to control the dragonZone. Treasure can be created in a dragonZone and controlled by a clan, but unless the clan keep a watchful eye on the treasure and continue to control it, rival clans can take control of a single piece of treasure and move the allegiance of the dragon from one clan to another. Certain treasures can be moved from one dragonZone to another, but the cunning clan will only bring in those treasures which they control, as all allegiance to the treasure will be moved along with it. If you bring in a treasure which is controlled by another clan, you might find your dragonZone moving allegiance to a rival clan. Clans will strive to maintain or gain control of treasure that exists in a dragonZone to help sway the dragon to their own clan allegiance.
The more treasures and dragonZones controlled by your clan, the higher your prestige. Not all treasures are considered equal. The dragons are only interested in physical treasure. Virtual treasure is not considered worthy and does not contribute to dragonZone control. The exception to this are all Burke and Wills caches regardless of whether they are a physical treasure or a virtual treasure.
Helping your clan to control a dragonZone is one thing. Helping yourself to a higher rank is another.
The more you battle, the faster your dragonZone points accumulate, but the greater the struggle to achieve new ranks. Finding a treasure automatically allocates dZPoints for your clan to that treasure. The clan with the highest dZPoints allocated to a treasure will control the treasure. The clan with the greatest number of controlled treasures will control the dragonZone. Each treasure can be controlled by multiple clans, and multiple clan control for a dragonZone is also permitted. Do you and your clan want to share the glory or retain it all?
At the time you find a treasure you will also receive personal dZPoints. These can be used to boost the control value for a treasure, but you have limited opportunity to use these additional dZPoints. You are not obligated to assign your additional dZPoints immediately. Instead, you can store your additional dZPoints in your bank. Your bank is infinite and you can store your dZPoints for eternity. If you want to assign additional dZPoints to a treasure, you can only apply them to a treasure you have found within the last seven days. If you find the same treasure multiple times within a seven day period, you can only assign additional dZPoints once. You will be restricted as to the number of additional dzPoints you can assign to a treasure depending on your rank. Make wisely your decision between immediately assigning your dZPoints, or banking them for later use.
Hiding a new treasure pleases the dragon realm and the treasure will be awarded more points initially than a standard find. Your personal dZPoints for hiding a treasure will accumulate at a faster pace for each new rank you achieve. The more treasure you find and hide, the faster you will achieve new ranks. As with treasure finds, not all treasure hides are created equal. Large treasures are worth more than regular treasures, which are worth more than small, micro, or nano treasures. Difficult treasures are worth more than easy treasures. Treasures hidden in tough landscapes will be worth more than treasures you hide on the street.
When you publish some treasure after you have joined the game, each subsequent find will attract some personal dZPoints for you as a form of Karma for contributing back to the game.

Flew down to Hobart and landed at the resort for moveables As we were coming home from visiting family in Hobart we noticed that these were being logged out. As we were not far away we turned right instead of left and headed to the hide. After searching GZ we expanded our search area until all items matching the hint had been visited. Nothing was found. We are glad that the butterflies had been so quickly collected and had not escaped. Perhaps we will meet them when they next move out.
Dropped off for a short visit to the dog park but won’t be here long. Soon to be back in Tasmania.
I saw this come up early in the morning but it was still too early to go out so I went back to sleep. Not up as early as I would have liked but just time to go to Trevallyn before Parkrun. Would I get there in time for a FTF and to Parkrun in time?? Only time to get one set of moveables so I decided to leave this set till after Parkrun. Would it still be there after 10am? Yes I was rewarded with a blank butterfly TFTC very pretty
