Description
Risque the Gnome -Proud is just proud to be a man
Take me anywhere. I'm proud to be a man but it probably would be better if I visited grown ups.
I'm part of a caching game and my mission is to travel anywhere in Australia or even overseas (that includes Tassie 
)
Some rules from the cachinggames.com site...
- Caches must be found and hidden by the same cacher (i.e. no mailing the cache to another cacher to hide)
- There is no limit to the number of times other cachers can find / move the cache provided there are at least two other finds / moves in between
- If a cacher moves your cache overseas and it remains unfound overseas for 1 week or more, the cache mover may move your cache back to the country of origin without breaking the "2 moves" rule
- There is no limit to the distance other cachers can move the cache
- Other cachers in the game may find / move your cache, but they must move it on within 2 days

I really never thought I'd see Risque Proud again. He was always the most embarrassing find of all . . . especially when he had to be carried around in public . . .
Now to get him out Leura . . .
(Thanks to rogerw3 for the move . . . I guess!)

Risque is now in Leura for a visit, but don't despair he should be on his way soon. Don't bother looking he is already gone
Risque the Gnome-Proud has had enough of this spot and is now on his way to a local geocacher for a visit. The cold weather has not been kind to his pride and joy!

Risque the Gnome-Proud has joined with a group of disenchanted Gnomes in the occupation of this tract of land, the aim being to secede from Australia and create their own independent country.
However with Gnomes in charge this may turn into a dictatorship, it remains to see if emmigration is greater than immigration.

Risque the Gnome -Proud has joined a mass exodus of moveables led by renegade Gnomes, who knows what they plan to do? They are all in hiding for now while hatching their nefarious plans. No point looking for any of them they are nowhere to be found until they are ready to reveal their ultimate goal.

I wanted to get this notorious gnome off my hands as soon as possible!
So off he goes, to famous Clwydd . . .
Quite a shock to find you again, Risque Proud.
Never thought I'd see Rique Proud around here again!
Thanks to rogerw3 for the transport.
Am going to move this guy along toute suite . . .

Risque has made a short stopover in Leura to say hello to the local cacher. Don't bother looking for him, he has been picked up.
It has been a long time but Risque and I have met again. He is still just as rude as ever and begged me to take him away from this place, he was complaining that there was not enough passing traffic to make it worth it for him to do his "thing".

Risque has run away. Can you find him? He's peeping out from a stump. Quick.... he may be gone before you know it.
Proud has taken temporary residence in the front garden. The neighbours may be shocked so he's in front of the Gymea Lily.
Found and left at the Spring Caching in the Bluies Event.

Well this wont do... an unfound and unloved Gnome who has been living under a stump for months and months. I was lucky and got a break in the torrential rain to wander up to GZ after teaching in Sefton this morning. I found him... but something else has too. I think a small slug crawelled inside, then got too fat to get out. Something gooey and alive infesting this guy 
He will find new friends at the Caching Event on Sunday up the mountains

Why is Proud just sitting in this park 
. Maybe it's time someone found him and moved him on a little.

Found close to location by geo-daughter, however he was out in the open. So we thought he must be wanting to move again. Will move him on. 
Moved this guy into the bush, but close to his friends and the road. This may also be Sign Your Name Across my Gnome, as I may have gotten them mixed up. Grab them all anyway.
Grabbed this little naughty fella and still have the girls asking, 'What's that thing?' Naughty naughty little Gnome...

Handed over to Alfyboy as part of a gnome exchange / social meeting. Could not get this naughty gnome to pull his pants up!
Finally moving along, near some delicious vegetables in Dural . . .
Found this old friend in the back of the Geoburu while out Trig hunting with pjmpjm. We have to stop meeting like that!

I was doing cache maintenance nearby and took a stroll into Turramurra's 'Blue Gum High Forest' to retrieve this little rascal.
Looks like he still needs some GFF training . . .
Anyhow, will keep him moving and hope he stays out of trouble.

'Proud' has followed his new best friend 'Bang Bang' to this little Turramurra nature reserve. Just go to the back of the car park of the little shopping center, and the entrance is next to the bins!
Down the steps and follow the trail.

'Risqué the Gnome - Proud' has been sent to the Clwydd hospital for psychiatric evaluation. It seems that his habit is causing some alarm. However it may well be that he cannot be cured as it has been too long since the onset of the obsession.

This little guy came for a walkies adventure with me. He decided to become a troll and the rest is a given. Walked over the bridge at your own peril 
Unlike tronador, I was able to use my superior strength and hoist myself up to check the ledges 
He was found on the 2nd ledge I looked at. Cheeky little gnome. Off we go!

I can't reach him. My arms are not that long and I can't feel to the bottom of little ledge.
'Risque - Proud' has now reached his destination, he seems to be very pleased with this spot and intends to make the best of it.
For a change 'Risque' decided to hide himself and be more discreet, well as much as he can help anyway. Found a nice dry spot in the Gazebo.

I'm usually quite relieved to get the Risque pair out of the Geoburu2 and into their 'transit points' as soon as possible!
But I know he's now a fully-trained GFF gnome on important business.
I guess he's 'under cover' in a sort of reverse way . . .

'Risque the Gnome -Proud' decided to hang around the GFF Gnome Holiday Resort for a few days before carrying his new duties as assigned to him by the new GGA (GLF-GFF Alliance). He is well pleased with the results of the Mt Victoria conference and will enjoy some well deserved R&R.
Don't go looking for him, the location of the Holiday Resort is Top Secret, so you won't find him at the co-ords.

We found this gnome again while attending the Blue Mountains Gnome Event. TFTG
Another gnome at the recent GLF/GFF event with unacceptable behaviour!
But his log book had to be signed in any case . . .
After the festivities at One Tree Hill in Mt. Victoria, NSW, he went home with rogerw3.
I hope he didn't prove to be a lot of trouble . . .

Went for a walk with Candy Cane 101 and 'Loki' the new geo dog. Generally speaking, Candy Cane 101 is more trouble, I think, unless we see another dog. Lovely day, pleasant walk. Picked up to move on.
Log completely full. Will replace. If you want old log back, let me know.

Moved just out of the Capital, and in a stumpy place with the same 2 mates he stayed with at the last stop.
Risque (Proud) is enjoying a nice visit to a quiet country setting
2 Canberra gnomes kidnapped by the GGG (GNOME-MARE!!! & Mr Bump), with the aide of of a forward observer stationed at Oberon (Heave-Ho) formed the Gnome Liberation Front, and convinced a cadre of gnomes currently resident in the Blue Mountains environment, that their services were required in the ACT.
This led to a call being placed by the GLF for a mass extraction of the gnomes and various pickup points were organized by Mr Roo, Just a Cacher & I. The gnomes had a long march from their various Lithgow detention points and a few gnomes were left in the region to gather intelligence in case of a need for future pickups.
Look for these gnomes to start appearing in Federal relief agencies as experts on the Flood recovery and CRPS programs.

Black Bunny, Mr_Roo and I went on a road trip to rescue some poor, imprisoned gnomes from Lithgow. To make the trip a bit more consistently busy, we found a few other caches on the way (and on the way home, too!).
At this point, the axles are starting to groan a bit. We have more gnomes than luggage.
We can do without his 'sort' in this crowded vehicle, but he insisted, and the other gnomes threatened to get out and walk if we didn't let him in (tempting, but...).

Made a quick find with Blackbunny and Just a cacher on a gnome invasion of Lithgow. TFTC
Risqué the Gnome - Don't Look has moved to a new location, he got tired of hanging around the house with so many other Gnomes, he wanted to see more of Lithgow so he went to the Blast Furnace Park and found himself a nice little hidey hole to hide his nakedness! He is not on the ground but very close to it.
Proud was with 41 other gnomes at the event but he decided to go home with someone else. I gnapped his brother.

I met Risque at the party today but we couldn't shake hands since he was busy holding up his pants. I wouldn't have wanted him to let those go! But I managed to sign his log while his hands were full 
Found at the Post Gnome race get together today. It was there with 41 other gnomes who had heard about the event.

Attending the post race gnome party at Homebush this was one of MANY new to us gnomes we found on the table. Geoboy was thrilled to find this one as we had brought his brother "don't look" to the party with us. tftg
Risque the Gnome - Proud is no longer at 'The Gegnome Project - Post gnome get together!' event, he is now with me, who could refuse to take him away for a few days rest and recreation before returning to his wild adventures.
Found among the 41 other Gnomes at 'The GeGnome Project - Post Gnome Get Together!' A great time was had by all, even the Gnomes and they spent their time having logs and other things pushed up their nether regions at least for most of them. A great way to see Gnomes that I would not have been able to get to otherwise.

Here was another gnome I didn't get to catch up with during the race. Not a shy guy! Found him at the post event party.
Finally found this rather rude little gnuy at the The Gegnome Project-Post Gnome Get Together at Homebush Bay! He was one of 42 gnomes in attendance on the day, at Wentworth Commons -- and a few geocachers attended as well . . .
Congratulations to all gnomes who survived the rigours of the recent competition and our condolences to the owners of those who suffered injuries and/damage or who were finally declared 'missing in action' . . .
This gnome can now take a well-deserved break, doing whatever it is that gnomes do when they take well-deserved break . . .

Oo-err!
Great fun!
Oo-err!Great fun!
Well what a party that was! There were way more gnomes (42!!!) than cachers (maybe 10 teams, about 20 people) and things almost got out of hand 
Luckily some of the gnomes who attended were able to keep a bit of control - Bruce the Gninja, GeoPirate, Gno-mad, Gnome-Mare and Geolady were big enough and tough enough to exert some authority.
I met Risque in the crowd around the food table. He was obviously hungry but was having trouble hanging on to his pants so couldn't grab much to eat! I fed him a bit of watermelon which he dripped all down his front so he had to go off to wash it all off.
We held a ballot to see who would go home in which car and Risque agreed to take rogerw3 back to Lithgow. I hope they don't have trouble with the train inspectors along the way

Will be here 5th february for post race gnome party
it was fun driving home with this little guy, some of the looks we got when i was walking around with him when we stopped for fuel were priceless.
He came to work with me today I have a great team, although the boss made me cover his naughty bits before puting him on my desk apparently he may be considered inapropriate in a corporate office however more then 1 person tried to take him home for there garden.
didn't want to hide him to far from home after all he isnt wearing pants (well not completly) this is a nice shady area in the centre of town where he should be out of site of muggles but hopfully he will find a new home soon.
he is just playful and a little misunderstood

Have you ever seen a group of adults gathering around a table full of gnomes, turning them over, logging on little sheets? How peculiar! But we all did it! Thanks for the gnome, but not taking this one home
what an awesome event, Glad we made our way down to canberra as this event was fun for cachers and gnomes alike. This guy sure looked to be having fun when i seen him.

Ok, this is shamefully my favorite gnome. 
Well, i recently acquired one of his fellow cheeky gnomes in the shops the other day (i could of brought the whole set for 7.50, but only brought one, go figure!), so it was quite a funny suprise for my lonely little gnome, to meet someone like him. (yep, some other gnome who's playing with their pants..)

The gnome is NOT at the listed coordinates. Mount the steps, follow the path and look in the troll's lair
This one needed supervising to stop him from being rude. Hopefully a gninja will keep him sorted out.
You wouldn't believe. After driving most of the day we passed through Eden late today and had a look for our own gnome; a long way from it's home of Echuca.
Black Bunny beat us to it and our gnome had moved up the road a couple of hundred km's earlier in the day. Bugger.
We're heading Canberra way in a few days so we'll try again.
