Description
This cache is an entrant in the Geocaching Australia Moveable race for December 2012- January 2013. 'Bingo'
Okay so this isn't a traditional form of transport but Father Christmas uses it every year and the shop we were at whilst on holidays in Melbourne was selling an awful lot. So it must be popular!
Please move our cache to a simple hide and add a hint to help the next finder, after all the aim is to be found and moved ASAP. No tricky hides or way out woop woop hides will help this guy to move along or any others in the bingo game.
Please abide by the below rules and most of all have fun!!!
Thanks for being part of bingo.
Regards
D&D, FelixII

Sorry I've had this for so long, I had meant to take it a little further but things didn't work out. A new home by the highway.
this sleigh has taken a trip to the Grampians in Victoria. It is now resting in a new location ready to be found
Spotted in the hands of phlphotos at today's Meet and Greet at the Hawkesbury 02/19 event. TFTC

Attended the 'Australia Day Moveable Event 2018' and came face to face with other like minded cachers, one being another lucky (luckyl10n) and 101 moveables in the area. Many thanks to the CO's who have published them over time and others who bought them together for the event.
Rated: for Overall Experience
At the end of the event this was one of the moveables I ended up with. Next it to find a place to hide it for the next finder. As the game ends they may be further apart between finds. Thanks for the moveable which was one of 101 that made their way to Ebenezer. Good luck on any further moves

For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath.
A moving cache, by nature, may have been moved since you last determined its location. It may have been picked up but not yet rehidden so it's considered 'in-transit'. There is no foolproof method of determining where a cache is simply by the log types that have been placed against the cache.

Headed up to Ebenezer with LuckyL10n to attend the Aussie Day event. 45 degree day made for a bit of a fun trip, however it was pleasant in the winery building. A good few hardy souls were in attendance as well as over 100 moveables. Some good conversation with cachers not met before and a good couple of hours was had by all. The trip home was a little different to what was expected but turned out ok....
Called into Tizzana Winery to buy some wine and saw the moveables and the list. The family wanted to continue on so said "Hi" to a few we'd previously met then headed on with some wine. Diolch for the moveable. I didn't pick up any.

Found this one at the Australia Day Moveable Event 2018 event held at Tizzana Winery in Ebenezer. Another fantastic turnout at the event run for the current 2018/19 Journey or Destination game being run on Geocaching Australia which saw a total of 101 moveables come together. Thanks for sharing.

Now down at the Meet the Moveables event....
What a great way to start the new year with a meet the movables event that saw 75 moveable caches and 10 geocacher caches in attendance. All was laid out so one could walk around the tables to sign each and every log before a swap occured to send them away again in a new direction.

#GA3328 - 15:00; After a few days on the road with Sol de lune we have now completed our journey through the mid west of New South Wales and returned home to our final destination. This moveable was one of many awaiting our return and was spotted in the hands of Sdl as it tours the National Capital. TFTC FelixII

After a failed mission to join the crew doing the ‘BLACK OPs - Carpe Noctem’ (GC32WN6) cache this weekend due to being unable to get time off work (on Friday and Saturday) and other commitments arising, I did however sweet talk my way into having Sunday off. This then lead me to take a look around and see what was available within my free day to make it a day out. After taking a look around the GC and GCA caches, I found 2 events on the same day close to each other and I decided on attending them both. After this I took a look at what caches I could find along the way and made my trail to make it an enjoyable day out. Something I didn’t expect was, a FTF which was on cache GA13305. This added to the fun. I would like to thank all the CO’s of the caches I found and for the fun and enjoyment I had while finding them.
Today’s Totals: 44 Finds

I spent the morning in the company of some incedible cachers from Canberra and Temora at an Event organised by Sol de Lune to enlighten us on the new GCA Game. I for one understand the game better now so thanks to SDL and Black Bunny for enlightening us. The weather was hot and sunny so at times chairs were moved around to stay in the shade. Masses of Movables appeared and were eagerly found but not moved by all present.

Headed down to Melbourne for the 'Meet the Moveables' event at Brimbank Park. Lots of moveables in attendance and this was one of them. Managed to sign a lot of logs, along with all the other cachers doing the same thing. A few laughs and a good time was had by all.
A good day to be out and a great event. Also great to see so any older moveables. Thanks for this one.

The migration has begun. Come and meet the moveables. The migration has begun. Come and meet the moveables. https://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga13115
A quick pickup of moveables today for a secret meeting to take place in just a little while. Your geocache would like to join the secret activities so it may not move for a little while but it will be safe and sound and will be moved along (and hopefully logged quite a bit) in the not too distant future.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for this geocache here today.

Discovered 'Perth Sleigh' at the Moveable & Mystery Madness Event held in Whiteman Park. The forecast was for rain but we were blessed with good weather for the day. A small but dedicated group of geocachers and a couple of new faces attended and exchanged stories of caches found and missed. Many thanks FelixII for the cache.

According to Wikipedia...
A sled, sledge, or sleigh is a land vehicle with a smooth underside or possessing a separate body supported by two or more smooth, relatively narrow, longitudinal runners that travels by sliding across a surface. Most commonly sleds are used on snow or ice, however in certain cases they may be used on any surfaces, especially on ones with relatively low friction, such as sand or wet grass. They may be used to transport passengers, cargo, or both. Shades of meaning differentiating the three terms often reflect regional variations depending on historical uses and prevailing climate.
In Britain sledge is the general term, and more common than sled. Toboggan is sometimes used synonymously with sledge but more often to refer to a particular type of sledge without runners. Sleigh refers to a moderate to large-sized, usually open-topped vehicle to carry passengers or goods, and typically drawn by horses or dogs. In Scandinavia particularly a sleigh may also be drawn by reindeer, as for Father Christmas.
In American usage sled remains the general term but often implies a smaller device, often for recreational use. Sledge implies a heavier sled used for moving freight or massive objects (syn. "stone boat"). Sleigh refers more specifically than in Britain to a vehicle which is essentially a cold-season alternative to a carriage or wagon and has seating for passengers; what can be called a dog-sleigh in Britain is known only as a dog-sled in North America.
In Australia, where there is limited snow, sleigh and sledge are given equal preference in local parlance.

Visiting Santa's Workshop (GC66Z9V) just in time for Christmas
Moved this one on today... Was hoping to visit the new chrissy cache in Ellenbrook & drop it there, but I will not get there until next week. Perhaps someone else will pick it up & take it there?
Happy travels
The sleigh will be found around 20m from parking spot & only 3 metres from the path.

We were in the area today doing the nearby Multi & whilst there Tyler & myself were checking out the Ascot Community Christmas Tree... Lots of lovely lights & baubles AND THIS MOVEABLE CACHE
Fired up GA App, but couldn't see this cache & now realise that it is archived... Perhaps the wrong co-ords were entered when it was moved or it may have been moved & not updated, but they were only a short distance away.
How appropriate being found just in time for christmas! Will move along soon
Thanks for sharing FelixII

This cache hasn't been there for some time and seeing that nobody has logged a find for it since the move I think it can be assumed that it is lost.
Moved to an appropriate location. Hopefully will blend in whilst being in plain sight.
Out for a drive and picked up this cache on the way.

The Dragons are out to claim a few caches in the area.
