Description
Winston is a pig which has escaped from Pig Island at Bells Parade, Tasmania and he wants to tour widely to promote the role of pigs in society
Why is the pig called Winston?
Well the famous World War II leader Winston Churchill once said
"I am fond of pigs.
Dogs look up to us,
cats look down on us but
pigs treat us as equals."
Winston S. Churchill: 'Never Despair' 1945-1965 (Heinemann, 1966), p. 304
Churchill obviously had great affection for pigs but did the animals mentioned reflect the type of people with whom Churchill came into contact?
Your taskis to locate Winston and help him on his journey.

Had to get these moveable caches out again before an appointment later in the week so grabbed the opportunity, hidden with a mate
A quick handover while having a catchup lunch with a team recently returned from the big island. We'll give these ones a quick look around the Tassie countryside. Thanks for the cache
After finding Zig Zag and the near by GC cache we turned round and stopped to collect the moveables that had been left at a nearby exchange. They were very well hidden and it took a few minutes to extract their bag. All were safe and dry.
It was nice to see Winston again. He will be joining us on a ferry trip. Then it will be out and about on the little islnd.

After a trip back to the old hometown, this one is now with me here in Ballarat. Will find a suitable spot for it around the area and move it on shortly.
Thanks 2y'stassies...always good to see a new moveable.

This is the last of the moveables that I found earlier. I left them all here, but they've gone already. 
#GA5748 - 13:00; On a caching run to the Blue Mountains with Smittengranny to collect a couple of finds for the MYMMM game. After a productive visit to Lapstone to start the mission, we were collecting caches in the "Armco" series as we headed further west towards our final destination in Blackheath. A quick dedtour in to Katoomba allowed us to collect Winston, who will now head south to the National Capital for a tour. The mission saw us collect not only our 2 target MYMMM caches, but another 18 GCA and two GC caches for a total of 22 for the day and all without a DNF! Lovin' it! TFTC 2y'stassies

LuckyL10n and I were enticed up to this area by the MMMM Game 2023 caches. However you don't travel for 3 hours and only grab 2 caches so the search was broadened and we found 22 GCA caches in all. This was one of them but it is no longer there. I will move it on soon. TFTC 2Y'stassies SL
Sorry it took so long but Winston has now moved to a new spot.
Found this one today at Mt Riverview. Will move it on soon.
