With the Battleship Game well under way, a lot of damage has been caused by many taking their shots
Much damage has been caused by the wayward shooting of cachers not used to weaponary of this nature
Electricity has been blown out on many coastal towns
This lantern is to help you see in the dark while participating in the game
Please use it efficiently before moving it on for the next cacher to find and use
Cheers OldSaint

Finally moving this one, Handed on to another cacher TFTMC
This one was located with many other moveables having a party in our work office after being dropped off by Whitewebbs. This is a cool Moveable and will have them all back out as soon as possible. TFTMC
Had a nice visit from a cacher down south that was caching up in the north recently for the Mystery Madness winter games. Was kind enough to drop a lot of friends they had with them. TFTM
Found this cache at the Maker Magic Event

I discovered this moveable cache in Rutherglen on the 7/4/23. Another Geocacher has taken it from GZ and will move it along shortly.
The Rutherglen Mega – Easter 2023
This was another a-MAZE-ing Mega, hosted by Geocaching Victoria. Thanks so much, for bringing me here and for the enjoyment it has brought me over the weekend.
Day #1 [6/4] – After a massive day of work, I headed off to my overnight stop in Culcairn. Along the way, I stopped off at an AL waypoint, in Henty. My only find of the day. Now time for some sleep and get ready for arriving at the Mega tomorrow.
Day #2 [7/4] – Its Mega day! I started off the day by finding a cache across the road of my motel in Culcairn, before getting breakfast. After breakfast I headed out of town and I arrived at the Rutherglen showgrounds at 9am. I was pleased to check in and sign the attendance book. I caught up with many people and I also found the lab caches. During the gaps of the Mega fun and during the non-raining times, I headed out to find as many caches as I could. I found the letterbox caches, attended the 3 events [2 GC and 1 GA] and found a couple of caches around the area. While at the GA event many moveable caches were discovered and signed. After the dinner event at the end of the day, I went did some bush bashing in the dark of the night to find a 2006 cache. I made sure I found it, as it fulfils part of a self-imposed challenge. Now, time to head to the motel and head to bed, so I’m ready for my last day tomorrow.
Day #3 [8/4] – My final day. Anyway, I still have much planned which included finding the bike trail caches, finishing the Solar System series and finding a couple of multi-caches. Also, on the way home, I decided on avenging a DNF. But before that, I started the day with breakfast at Macca’s. Next I found a couple more labs, some of which I missed yesterday. After a phone call, my bike riding buddy (Joelisa) was running late. This meant I could find the rest of the Solar System Series and a couple of others. I arrived at the starting point of the bike trail and was greeted by Ms Maddy who was getting ready for the bike ride. While we were getting ready If and Joelisa arrived and we decided on heading off and doing it together. The caches along the bike trail were signed as **8/4/23 JIMM**. The group consisted of Joelisa [J], If [I], Ms Maddy [M] and Myself - JohnoMawbs [M for Mawbs]. We did most of the trail along the way to Wahgunyah, found a couple of other caches, had lunch and for the return trip, found the five we missed for the return trip to Rutherglen. Then we went our separate ways. I headed off to meet up with The Drovers before leaving. I found two caches along the way home. The second of the two, I avenged a DNF. Now time to get home as I have a very busy day tomorrow.
I will need to return at some point, so I can complete the ‘bird’ mystery cache power trail at some point. Also all the new multi-caches which have just been published. So, these caches have been put on my, to do list. In other words, I’LL BE BACK.
TB visit on all found caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found this weekend and for allowing them to bring me and the Geocaching community enjoyment. TFTE’s and TFTC’s

Its gone. Looks like it's been picked up and not yet logged. See photo for where expected to find it.
Finally moved on. Hopefully will not be here too long. Thanks OldSaint.
Grabbed in a movable exchange. Will try not to hold onto this for too long.
Thanks OldSaint.
Thanks OldSaint.
Well time for the lantern to light again.
I have passed onto a fellow cacher.
Sure they will light the way again soon.
Safe travels!

Battleship Lantern is back out again on the north west coast
Noticed that a collection of moveable caches had been dropped off not too far from home so went out to conduct a search. Think we've found them all, now we just need to find somewhere else to move them on to. We'll try to get them out again in the next couple of days. Thanks for the cache
Was passing by on the way to catching up with family so stopped to collect a few moveables not far away. This was one of them
