Sorry to report, Alfred the Emu could not be located at the above coordinates.
I've had this moveable cache for about a week, so I decided to move it on before the rain comes. It should be easy enough to find but if you are having trouble I have added a hint.
What an amazing way to start my holidays from work. Geo-events, traveling, meeting up with friends and finding many different caches made it fun! It’s so nice to finally be able to do all these things… again. The following descriptions are my adventures between the days of 12/11/21 and 16/11/21. Each cache has been logged to the end of my adventures for the day of finding them. If you would like to read my full log, please find it on any cache I found on the 16/11/21.
Day #1: I finished work at 4pm and headed over to Wagga for the only GIFF event in NSW. Apart from the CO, I was the first to arrive at the event. It was great to finally attend a Geocaching after many months without them. All talk Geo was had by all until we were told that dinner was ready. Soon after, the popcorn was ready and the movies were on. Congratulations to all the GIFF finalists and they were all a great watch. Also, Congratulations to BMG for receiving the FTF on the event. Then it was time to head home and get ready to head to Canberra for the next few days.
Day #2: I was nearly late to my own event. O’well… It was still fun with the small group of us that turned up. We also discovered many Moveable caches before heading off to today’s main goal. This happened to be finding the ‘A’ part of the GA geo-art series as well as the lone GC caches around the area which I hadn’t found as I pasted by them. I wasn’t alone as AKM came for the walk as well. After finding all but the last two we headed our separate ways as it started raining heavier. Hopefully, it won’t be raining tomorrow so the event goes ahead but well will need to see. Also pizza for dinner tonight.
TB visit on all found caches. I would like to thank all CO's of the caches I found and for allowing them to bring me and the rest of the caching community enjoyment.

Down at an event and in the hands of another cacher.
Out with Black Bunny. This movable wasn't at the posted co-ords, but it WAS at a place I'd never heard of. Luckily, Black Bunny was prepared to make a wild guess that turned out to be correct.
Found while on a run to find some caches to get back in the swing of caching after lockdown.
Thanks for the cache Nibletricecakes

Headed out this way to try my luck with this lot and came away with a good number of moveables. Loved the hiding spot, really adds new meaning the whole 'Give us this day our daily bread'. Left my mask at home ( ) otherwise I would have checked out the stalls.
Thanks NRC....nice little catch.

I grabbed this one long ago and the co has been poking me regularly to drop it off. I found somewhere quite logical - an ark - this explains why he was originally located east of Byron. He has now found dry land in Canberra and is ready to travel again.

9 months published and Alfed still seems to be swimming off the coast of Byron. Those are some powerful legs he's got there. I never knew Emus could swim, let alone this long. haha.
Perhaps the CO could give an update on the coordinates or conform if Alfred is still with the "friendly nomads"?

East of "The Most Easterly Point In Australia"
Methinks Alfred is emigrating to NZ.
I have seen Kangaroos swim before but never an Emu.
