This little moveable seems to be still sitting at the posted co-ords. If you in the area, why not stop and help him move along. We're sure the CO would appreciate it.
It's still there!!Remove some wasp nests from the container.

Found a lovely spot for Fred over looking Joe Crafts Creek. Added new logbook as the other was just a pile of mush.
Took a little while to locate it. More a small than a micro. Interior was quite wet. Will clean it up and release it soon.

This looks like a good spot to camp... maybe a group will show up soon to collect Fred....
Found this guy on the floor of Zal's car before we rehid him on a day trip outside of Colo!

Since I was taking a walk around the lake I just had to stop by and say hello to my old friend, all is well.

A great view for this cache in it's new home. Come and see for yourself! Only a short walk if you find the right entrance. 
Wow that is a LOT of caches my BB brought home! I would have gone too but some of us had to go to work. Now my house is full of Gnomes, frogs, Bingos and Angels! I’m going to have to do something about this and start hiding them again before they take over our unit once and for all!

Operation: Dawn of War (Clan Phoenix Gnomeland Raid)
Cache Condition: Fred and his cool little logbook are doing just fine. A quick brush down and they are good to go again!
Operation Summary: Leaving Sydney at 4am to reach The Gnomelands by dawn I kicked off the 'The Great Mount Piddington Moveable Challenge' with a raid of freedom to release over 60 moveables from their mountain prison to freedom. 4.5 hours of morning caching saw a good few sack-fulls return with me to Sydney.
The caches have been moved to St Leonards for some TLC and a bath so don’t go looking for them there. They will be released shortly in various locations.

Fred has now moved to a new residence in the Gnomelands.
This one has made it to the Clwydd relocation center and will be on the way to the Gnomelands very soon.

Nice to see Fred once again, and so close to home too!
Thanks for the move, rogerw3!

A very short stopover to meet a local cacher before moving on up the mountains. Don't bother looking it is gone already.
Well we meet again, my old friend Fred was waiting patiently for a pick up. He will make his way up the mountains to have a rest for a while.

Don't worry Roger, the 4 that were here are all safe. I just haven't been rushing to put them back out while concentrating on the angels. All spares I had have now been deployed. Back behind the Field of Mars cemetery now.
Nothing to be found here, I hope that this does not mean that all 4 have been muggled, some of the found logs seem to suggest they were left in place.
But has it has been 2 weeks since the last found log it does not look good.

Haven't seen this one for over a year, found it in a grab bag of angels and other assorted travellers at a local drop off point.
Moved with a swag of others to the Normanhurst drop off point. Note it's not the usual hiding place but in the concrete cave to the right.
Found at Yass and now back in Sydney. Will be placed again soon.

Took for a ride with us as we headed down the coast via the Tarago Nerriga road to Nowra - this was a nice quite little town and had a good hiding spot with a traditional cache "The Loaded Cache 3" GC3WBC2 hidden by Mr Roo
Found Fred taking a ride in the Tealby geowagon - souvenired the Tealby pathtag and left the next finder a lucky Chinese Feng Shui coin. Will move this one closer to the sea TFTC 2BluFish

759. Can't believe I only logged in this one as there was another nearby that I thought would be in the same spot. Oh well. Dropped and picked up already.

Dropped off while playing ingress and walking geodog, two games at once, confusing..
grabbed from SDL, handed off , got a whole bunch of movables now looking for some likely places to drop them
...Fred....such a great name isn't it.
Spotted this one (after missing it on our visit to his last hidey hole) while being transported to another local who will re-locate shortly.
Thanks for the continued fun of the moveables.

Out with Just a cacher to conduct a federal intervention on the Gnome Gnation.
A quick grab in some beautiful but chilly countryside today.

With Black Bunny in the mountains, rounding up gnaughty gnomes. It was very windy and consequently fairly cool, but fun!

Left where it was!
The sixth of twelve movables a found on a wet, wet day at Mt Piddington today.
This one involved a really thick bush bash to make the easy find.

Found on a fourth day forage within the Gnomelands ... fearful of retribution from the Disenchanted Gnomes, taken in hand only for a photo op. Cache is good. TFTC

Fred has not joined the newly independent Gnome Gnation and is resting awaiting adventurous cachers.
However with Gnomes in charge this may turn into a dictatorship, it remains to see if emmigration is greater than immigration.

Somehow Fred has heard of this wonderful new independent country started by a pack of renegade Gnomes in the Blue Mountains. So he sent a request, well more of a demand really, to be transported there to join his brethren. This has now been accomplished and he arrived in Clwydd for his clearance.

Off you go, Fred!
Bon voyage.
I already know you'll like Clwydd.
Great to find Freg again, and so close to home too.
Thanks to rogerw3 for his ongoing transportation of moveables.
Fred will be on his way again, very soon . . .

Fred is making a quick stopover in Leura to meet an old friend before continuing on to Clwydd. Don't bother looking for him he has left the premises!
Fred had been complaining for some time that he was feeling very lonely, abandoned even. So now is the time to go for a train trip up the mountains to meet very soon with very many new friends.

Poor Fred has been languishing, forgotten. Pleas for his release came in and he's back out there, in a park, with water views.
No sign of this one or it's supposed neighbour today. Found the small rock that was presumably covering them before, and left some others there.
Thought it was about time to rescue Fred and move him to a more popular spot. Sorry for the late log richary.
Fred favoured a bushland setting while waiting for the next finder. He's with Busted.
Took this to a party and he wouldn't leave
Collected on the way to Newcastle this morning

Dropped under the daisy bush but it was immediately nabbed by another crazy cacher to head off.
Grabbed Fred and got my number one spot on the bingo card! Quickly moved to Dural.
Rated: for Overall Experience
A nice quick find for this one today. Left a travelling alien not part of the race in almost the same spot for anyone coming along.
Fred decided he liked this place much better than what I had in mind for him and he jumped ship and hid.
My old friend 'Fred' is within striking distance, so no argument he has to come home with me. He was glad of another trip up the mountains, but he will soon be back in flatland.

Brought Fred home for corned beef sandwiches after the walk
On our way to some of the Great North Walk, we stopped off to see if Fred wanted to come too. He did
Decided he didn't want to stay, so I dropped him down some stairs.
One of five movable bingo caches that not only hitched a ridewith me today, but which also took the place of another cache when I found it. So same hiding spot, new cache.
Spotted fred resting in the bushes and grabbed him.
I wonderedfor amoment what kind of transport a dog is, but then realised that fleas often use dogs as transport, as well as small children (riding large dogs while playing).
cheers.

Moving this one down to Lidcombe from the upper Blue Mountains . . .
Thanks to rogerw3 and just a cacher for my fourth BINGO find of the night!
My cats might not have appreciated Fred but I love dogs too.
Great BINGO start . . .

'Fred' is on his way , a quick stop at Leura for a meeting with the local animal lover and he will be on the move again.
'Fred' does hold a special meaning, he was a lovely dog, we only met briefly early in the year. A great way to remember him.
