Description
This cache is PrincessDiala's 2/6 entry into the 2010-11 GeGnome Project.
This cache has been created to qualify for the caching game:
The idea of this game is to hide a genuine, bone fide garden gnome on Geocaching Australia to see how far your cache can move within the game period (01-Dec-2010 00:00:00 AEST to 31-Jan-2011 23:59:59 AEST).
All you need to do is:
1) Find my cache and pick it up
2) Move it on, making sure you update the co-ordinates in your online log within 2 days!
3) Caches must be found and hidden by the same cacher (please no mailing for someone else to hide)
Note 1: You may find this gnome multiple times, however there must be at least two other finds/moves in between
Note 2: If this gnome gets taken overseas, and it remains unfound for 1 week or more, the cache mover may move it back to the country of origin without breaking the "2 moves" rule.
More information can be found at: www.cachinggames.com/gegnomeproject/index.php
Please keep me moving near sandy areas. I would like to travel in a lot of stops viewing great gardens to live in!

Thanks
We found one of our first caches (now archived) near here. It a nice place to go for a walk.
Good luck Flow Power
First time we have had 3 gnomes together. They had a nice chat in our garden (see picture)
Thanks PrincessDiala - Well move it on soon.
Thanks PrincessDiala
So there we were hurtling down the road at 100Km or there abouts while the GPSr counted down the distance to 4 gnomes...... I had ensured that we had no cars within a fair distance behind us and was happy I'd taken that precaution as I had to hit the anchors pretty hard when I saw the turn off! Anyway, s-facit, blufox and I travelled the short distance down the dirt road before I simply stopped dead and jumped out of the car. Four smiling faces looked up at me from the middle of a stump and after carefully stacking them in my arms I was back to the car and we were away. It was certainly quite bizarre to be stopping in the middle of nowhere and finding four gnomes in one place
Thanks PrincessDiala, I'll hide again shortly
PS - she's back with Bruce!!!!
So off to a new park where searchers will get 2 GNOMES FOR THE PRICE OF 1 as they are hidden within about 50 metres of each other!
Happy Travels Flower Power

Will move Flower Power on tomorrow

Lucky for the next cacher he is a moveable cache so you can grab him and run when you find him.
Good luck little Gnome.
That's one well dressed Gnome (again, the little plaster guy. Not Brendan ).
Now off for a quick hide.
He got himself analysed, like the others
Then he and his friends hung around the computers waiting for the results...
The results weren't suprising...his DNA is mainly plaster...
Anyway he and his companions are ready to go on some more adventures. The Coordinates above will take you to the front door of the AgriBioSciences Centre, which is in the Latrobe Uni R&D Park. Reception is open from 9 to 5 although pickup will not be available until probably 11:00 tomorrow (Friday 10th). Michelle and Brendan behind the desk are worded up. Ask for the package for the GCA Genome project. If there's someone else behind the desk, you may need to ask them to call "Andrew from Computational Biology".
Don't let them lie around too long..they may get experimented upon in vile and hideous ways..you know what these scientists are like.
After I got the FTF on the mummy, pwags raced here to grab this one. We met up again and I signed the log for this one too!

Better late than never!
Ready, steady, spaghetti....
