Periodically the Geocaching Australia review team checks moveable caches that haven’t been found or moved in over 90 days.

This moveable cache fits that brief, however reading previous logs it seems it may still be at the posted co-ords and is just sitting there waiting for the next finder to give it a go.

So, if you’re in area why not stop by and help it on its way.

This trip through the Goldfields has been a while in the planning and the main mission was to collect caches in at least another 8 Local Government Areas to qualify for a challenge cache recently set up by megawatt60! I didn’t really have a plan and was happy to throw the swag down once the daylight became in short supply. From Kalgoorlie I headed north as far as Leinster with a few deviations along the way. I then headed west through Mt Magnet and then meandered my way back towards Perth. I had GC and GCA caches lined up and tried to grab as many as I could while passing by. Cheers to all the CO’s for the hides and hopefully I can head back one day soon to clean up the caches I wasn’t able to find on this trip. TFTC

Discovered 'Bandit Bingo' 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 GrimRaider for the cache.

Attending "Moveable & Mystery Madness" event GA10647

Planning for this trip began in June - we knew we would be heading to Adelaide but which way would we go? This depended on our targets. We looked at our list of unclaimed Dragon Zone trophies and picked out several that we could feasibly collect the required number of finds to qualify for the trophy. We then had to identify caches that would meet our targets and from here it was time to plan a route that would take us past the caches we had identified. Any caches too far off our route were discarded and replaced by suitable alternatives.

All was running smoothly until the Christmas in July game was announced. We would be travelling in the latter part of the game. It was difficult to include this in our target caches as we did not know what was required. Once the game began and we understood what we needed to do we could then add other caches to the target list.

We were just getting our heads, yes all four of them, around this when more Dragon Zone trophies were added. Which ones could we meet and which should we ignore? Do we need to add more GA caches and/or do we need to change our route and our targets? We decided on our target list and then our route and timeline. We had just drawn a line under everything and were about to begin printing our caching booklets, route maps and target lists when caught@work published 23 new caches on the Western Ring Path. Earlier we had decided on the caches in the Edgewater Walk series. If we added the new ones on the Western Ring Path and as many of the CCC series as possible, we could probably reach the required number of caches to qualify for the Dragon Zone trophies “Restraining Order Stalker” (Find 100 DZ caches hidden by the same cacher) and “Obsession!=Insanity” (find 50 DZ caches in a day). As the latter would give us our first Blaze Trophy, it was decided to alter everything to include the CCC series.Four Fun, in South Australia published five puzzle caches that would bring good points in the Christmas in July game. Can we solve the puzzles? A few more adjustments to the route and the caches to find list and we would be off.

Having successfully completed our Melbourne challenges and gained our first Blaze Dragon Zone trophy it was time to focus on the Christmas in July game. We started on the Kenneth Stirling Conservation Park puzzle caches recently published by Four-Fun. With Four-Fun's puzzles found, several of J_&_J's puzzles found and the Christmas in July game over it was time to focus on completing the requirements for a few more Dragon Zone Trophies.

When we knew that there was a possibility that we would have a break from grand parent duties we had planned this slight detour so that we could find both GA and GC caches that would meet the requirements for several Dragon Zone trophies and several GC challenge caches in several states. As we had already visited all states and territories except Western Australia this year it was time for us to hop on a plane and head for Perth, Western Australia.

When we were at home we had noticed that Lazarus68 had been collecting moveable caches during a recent visit to the eastern states. We wondered if Lazarus would be back in the west by the time we visited and if we would have an opportunity to find the moveables that were in his care. So, we contacted Lazarus and the stars did align. We made arrangements to visit and we were able to log finds on quite a few moveable caches. Many thanks Lazarus68 for making these caches available for our visit. In turn, we left another ten moveables in the area which are also now in the care of Lazarus68.

In my safe hands. Soon off to Perth.

Brought this down to the Geocaching NSW Christmas event, where it sat on the table for a while. Has now been taken away by Zal to move on.

Well this has been sitting in one spot for a while. Out in the open on a stump, but I guess given the road to here not many people come past to look at the trig. The Commodore made it though about 300 meters out I was thinking I was going to have to get out and walk.

I hadn't planned on coming north but some bad health news from my father made a drive to the Coffs Harbour region a necessity and I will now be up here for at least a few days, and probably several times over the next 2-3 months. But seeing this was near the highway north after stopping at the previous rest stop I made the detour in to grab this and the trig. While it may be a couple of weeks before I head back south I might hang on to this until I get back to Sydney as there is more chance of it moving on there than if I leave it up here somewhere. Thanks GrimRaider.

I was on my way to Newcastle to 'catch up with' my son, and thought about a spot to drop this bandit off, where it should be secure.
It seems this spot should be good enough. Placed, and covered, just a metre 'north' of a particular structure.
Come and get it!

Found this movable cache while at an Event on the MidNorth Coast (of NSW). Now to find a place where it can be picked up.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Picked it up when we found the GC cache Stone Trig. Didn't know what it was until at an event in the Mid North Coast browngang pulled out the log sheet stuck in the cabin

I noticed that Bandit can't be seen on the map at the exact same point as the Dewar Trig, so I have slightly altered the waypoint to the perfect parking space. It is still in the same location as before mentioned though.

Please note that the parking waypoint may be near the boundary of a state conservation area, but the geocache is not placed in it.

Bandit stretched his wheels and went for a drive today. Found an old archived geocache on the way (http://geocaching.com.au/cache/gckp35). Decided to stop there to stay till someone else drives him away.

Found Bandit and his passengers stranded on the highway. Gave them a tow into Dubbo. Will fuel up Bandit, feed his passengers, give them a good bed to sleep in, and send them on their way in a couple of days.

Bandit Bingo came for a drive out to Dubbo and ran out of fuel again! So he's sitting here between two big rocks, behind the reflector with a friend in tow

Fueled up and ready to go

Brought this one home for tea

Bandit is on the move

Left where it was.

This one took a while until I looked at eye height at a tree from the reverse angle. The sixth of ten attempts for the afternoon.

On a forage within the Gnomelands ... the Garmin was decidedly unhelpful (or maybe the 'mushroom was simply hot and bothered) and though 'out of range' a number of likely hides were checked to no avail.

Bandit Bingo is still at home waiting for visitors.

Bandit was found hiding in a dry homely spot. Lots of similar spots to search. Very wet gully track. I left Bandit in gnomeland .

Bandit Bingo has managed to escape from the depredations of the Federales and is still in place at home.

Err rough track makes it a exciting find and wouldn't want to attempt in wet weather but sun was out and not too cool.
A pretty extreme day for finding GCA caches

Headed off with Albida and Mtrax for (another) visit to the Gnome Gnation to see a few new residents. Although word on the way established a few had already taken off for greener, yet colder, pastures, we continued with our plan and still managed to catch up with quite a few of the recent arrivals.

Our plan this time was not a mass round up, but that doesn't mean future trips wont include a complete clean out. Time, and re-enforcements, will dictate future retrieval missions.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Blue Mountains GCA trip with Sol de Lune and Mtrax. We headed off to visit the Gnome Gnation area on Mt Piddington. We had some bad news on the way up that several had been retrieved yesterday, but we persisted and I managed to find 13 moveables, two GA Trads and two Trigs. The area up here is amazing. Dense bush opening out onto huge vistas and quite a bit of clambering to get to some as well. A great day, but now I have to chase a pile more locally. Thanks

Albida

Bandit Bingo has made it's way to the Gnome Gnation and found this congenial spot to rest.

Bandit Bingo has made his way to Clwydd for his passport to the Gnome Gnation in Mt Vic. He will be on his way very soon.

Bandit is now in Clwydd . . . adjusting to a new lifestyle.

Hope it enjoy all the 'company' he's find there . . .

Thanks once again to rogerw3 for his faithful moving of moveables.

Very much appreciated.

Bandit Bingo has made a short stopover and will be on his way again soon. Don't bother looking he has gone already.

A dismal wet day for looking for moveables but victory anyway. He was waiting quietly with 3 others, knowing that I would be by today for a pick up and move up the Blue Mountains.
Special thanks to tuena for his help in gathering these guys.

The bandit has three for company & will be picked up by RogerW3 for a trip to the Blue Mountains very soon. Please don't move them but you are welcome to find them.

Transitional move - don't look here.

Grabbed again & will add another 3 for a trip to the Blue Mountains. Temporarily back in Berry but not really.

I was on my verandah eating my curds & whey & checking my emails when I saw that the Shoalhaven had been visited by a Black Bunny. I was hopeful that something would be left in exchange & indeed this one occupied the same co-ords as another.
