So go for it – this transport theamed cache is out there waiting for you.

Sounds like this is gone, so we'll archive it. If the cache does reappear it can be re-instated.
We went to ground zero and two of us had a pretty good look at both ends of the guard rails on both sides of the road, and on the ground nearby. Sadly, I feel certain that this one and the other that was here are both gone for good, unless someone has picked them up and forgotten to log them.
I have had this fellow far too long. Apologies to the CO but he is down and ready to go again now. He has a mate with him.
Was having dinner at a GC event in Goulburn hosted by DSD tonight.
Someone pulled out a large bag of GCA Moveables, so we took turns in passing them around, signing the logs, and discovering them

Got to find it on the event in John knights park. Thanks for bringing it along.
This Moveable Cache is in the hands of Smittengranny.
I’m on my way to Canberra for a special event over the weekend. What better way to fill in my time then with Geocaching. I started with collecting the long overdue finds along the Barton HWY. Then I headed into Canberra for lunch and to host my event (GA14468) which had an unexpected turnout of 5 people.
Thanks for coming and allowing me to not be alone at the park. Afterwards I headed out to find some caches which I have wanted to make for quite some time. These included some past DNF’s as well as some regular/large sized caches plus ‘The Maniac’. (I’ve decided on doing one a day) I can tell you I’m not as fit as I once was I made it with a minute or two to spare. Unlike some of the others that had done the ride, I didn’t experience trouble with the cartridge and it came up with the right coordinates first time. Next it was time to settle into my motel plus have a shower. After dinner, it was time for some night caching! I found 5 Labs plus a couple of other finds which included the AL Bonus. I had an eventful day. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found, for allowing them to bring joy to me and to the rest of the caching community. TFTE and TFTC’s

TFTE and TFTC’s I saw this trail of GCA caches appear about a month ago and have wanted to attempt it for quite a while. It ended up being a relaxing 3.5 hour drive around the country side. It’s nice to have a couple more GCA caches with a on them. I found a few different dinosaurs and other different types of hides. All caches found today were quick finds and were left at its current location for the next finder to move along. Today’s finds also included a few Trig-Points finds. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found today and for allowing them to bring joy to me and the rest of the caching community. TFTC’s and TFTTP’s
P.S. The cache has been left at above coordinates for the next finder to move on.

Reading previous logs, this moveable may still be in location OR may have been found, removed and not relocated yet. We know moveables can sometimes be forgotten / missed / left in the bottom of a caching bag, so a check has been undertaken on this one.
An update will be posted within 28 days….

I was here in this area to complete some caches and came here to do a history cache, there was a movable close by and I thought I will see if it is still there, Well, I found many items here. Took a couple of seconds to register whats going on and I figured I whill take them all. That is 4 off movables and this is one of them. I whill be moving them further west of here on a day trip planed.
Also, today I wanted to find this cache for the Journey or Destination - Game Period: 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST
It is sometimes said [citation needed] that the game of geocaching is not about the destination it is about the journey. This game is about the choices you make in the experience of the journey or the destination.
On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing field with a number of ground tiles. Your playing field is a grid 20 x 20 ground tiles making a total number of 400 possible steps you can take on your journey or destination. You choose whether you want to find and follow the path or whether you wanted to meander around. A playing field is unique to each player so there is no benefit in teaming up to beat the system through brute force.
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. There are a number of different ground tiles that will be revealed when you click on your playing field. It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile.
1.Dirt. The ground beneath the ground tile is just plain old brown dirt.
2.Dirt with some points. The ground beneath the tile is brown dirt but it has some points associated with it.
3.Concrete. The ground beneath is part of the pathway that will lead you on your way to your destination but has no point value.
4.Start. A concrete ground tile that has a blue map marker.
5.Destination. A ground tile that has a green map marker.
Meandering around and avoiding the path will accumulate points that will be used to place on you the ladder of wanderers. The more you stay off the path the higher the number of points you will accumulate and it will be your journey that will be the determining factor in whether you place into a prize winning position. You are free to select any ground tile to click on; they do not need to be next to each other.
Trying to find the path may mean you strike out on the dirt until you eventually come across the path and as a geocacher who can't say that this isn't a tried and true method. Once you find the path however will you try and follow the path as it changes direction around your playing field? Do you go North, South, East or West to try and find the next concrete tile along the path? If you head one way are you heading towards the start or towards the destination? When you do happen upon the destination tile then you will automatically be in a winning position.
At any point you are free to change from the journey to the destination and vice versa but you won't be able to regenerate your playing field. You are also free to keep playing as long as you have qualifying geocaches, accumulating more and more dirt tile points and placing you higher and higher on the ladder.
Qualifying geocaches fall into two categories. Finds and Hides.
A qualifying find is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia
The geocache has a hidden date prior to the game commencing
The geocache was logged by you on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period
The geocache was physically found by you during the game period
The geocache is not owned by you unless it is a moveable geocache
The geocache has not previously been found by you during the game period
The geocache is one of the following types:
Burke and Wills, Moveable (you will qualify only once for a find on a moveable geocache), Traditional, TrigPoint, Augmented Reality, Beacon, Gadget, Multi-cache, Night Cache, Podcache, Reverse, Unknown or Mystery
A qualifying hide is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia, The geocache has a hidden date after the game has commenced, The geocache was published on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period, The geocache has a container size of regular or larger (Note: A regular geocache has a volume of 1 litre or more), The geocache is one of the following types:, Moveable, Traditional, Augmented Reality, Beacon, Gadget, Multi-cache, Night Cache, Podcache, Reverse, Unknown or Mystery
The game tracking mechanism relies upon your honesty when logging geocaches as found or hidden.
The games administrators will undertake verification of a statistically significant number of logs.
Players who continually log inaccurate information will be disqualified from the game. The game administrators decision is final.
The game administrators will subtract qualifying hide or find geocaches from your tally if they are found to be not genuine.
The game administrators reserve the right to provide clarifications to the rules at any point during the game.
Don't forget to claim your limited time game trophies, if your qualify, while the game is in progress. Once the game completes the ability to claim your trophies is lost for ever.
So, A BIG thanks for the movable, I must say a very interesting movable it is.

Virtual move as will be picked up tomorrow - don't look here.
Moved to a location along the road to Tallowa Dam in Kangaroo Valley. You will have to negotiate the embankment - don't park on the road. High clearance vehicle but 4WD not necessary. There are a couple of options to access the parking. A short walk into the bush with some fine scribbly gums to admire. Cache is with a few other moveables. Averaged location. If you see a large, leaning scribbly gum you're nearly there.
Moved to Woollies for pick up, don't bother looking gone already.
Here we are again, must take you further away next week.

I decided to take advantage of a couple flexdays to come up the mountains and stay with my favorite old man
Of course there was a price to pay and I was made to find a few caches to pay for my bread and board, nothing onerous this far but I fear he may have other plans for the next couple days.

This little helmet is out and about again.
While we were out caching today we noticed that there was a gathering of moveable caches near by. We couldn't go passed without checking them out. They were hiding in a well used spot where we have found moveables on past visits to the ACT. What a mottled crew we uncovered waiting there to be moved on.
We checked the occupants of the hide and found that there were several that appeared familiar - and yes, on checking, we had found five of this group previously. We left those we had found before in situ, the other five we will spirit away to other parts of the country.
Little Mikes Bingo Hamlet is one of the five we had not encountered in the past so this little cache will accompany us on our journey south. An interesting moveable we hope the hamlet is enjoying its travels.

Despite Upoc freezing about half a dozen times while on the way to GZ requiring removal of the batteries and restarting
