Collected with a group of moveables

Grabbed the opportunity to meet up with another team over coffee to exchange caching stories and also exchange some moveable caches

Our first trip to the south of the state for a while so trying to pick up some moveable caches to take back north west with us. We've managed to grab a few to make the journey back with us and will hide them out again as soon as possible. Thanks for the cache

All good now.
Thanks Sol de lune

Attending an event today and this movable turned up. I have it now and will re-located it in the next few days.

The CO can unarchive it and it will be right to go again.....

A review of this moveable shows the cache may have been collected from its currently listed co-ords, however it has not been relocated. The cache is being archived to stop cachers looking for a cache that is obviously not at the listed co-ords.

This is also done to help keep the Geocaching Australia database clean and up to date.

If the cacher owner confirms that the cache has been relocated, the cache can be unarchived.

picked this one up to continue its travels

It's time to give some of these little fellows from Clear Waters Mega Event a new home. To make sure they don't get lonely I will leave them in pairs. Safe travels!

My trip to the Mega was great, found lab caches which while like gadgets are new icons to me. Found some great caches and brought back some neat ideas for new caches in Tasmania.

After a great family weekend we had a few moveable caches to rehide, hopefully we've calculated correctly and they're all at least 250km from where we picked them up

Found on the second attempt. The first time we were here we searched and searched but couldn't find anything matching the hint at the listed coordinates. Talked to the previous hider and got some further information so back we went today. Found this cache along with some others about 45 metres away under the watchful eyes of a paddock full of black cows. We'll move them all towards the south of the state. TFTC

Out and ready for you to find

Mr T and Mr T jr took a ride around Peter Murrel Reserve today to try to clean up a few outstanding GC and GCA caches, but lost heart to kept searching for this one and two others close by when I happened to look down and had a young tiger snake moving past my feet. Please be careful if searching in this area over the coming months.

Hi Whitepaws
After yesterday morning, spending time on the jack hammer at my bowls club; Geeveston Bowls Club; lifting tiles in preparation for the laying of new ones and pulling up the bar lino in readiness for new to be put back down, today,I was in need of some relaxation – CACHING was my outlet.

Travelled from Huonville to Conningham to retrieve two caches and then on to Huntingfield for this cache.
Round trip of 142 kilometres for a lot of aches and pains (caused by jack hammering) netting three caches for the day. The body was too sore to do any more caching – home to relax.

The weather was brilliant – sunny, about 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. Really good for a walking.

Just as I arrived at the parking area, the Parks and Wildlife Fire Team arrive too - thought there might have been pending trouble and that I may not be able to look for this cache. Not so, they were in training mode so the search for the cache proceeded as planned.

As the crow flies, distance to the cache from where I parked the car was 273 metres.
In actual fact, I covered 1.87 kilometres using 2529 steps burning 311 calories.
Total distance covered today was 3.60 kilometres using 4903 steps and burning 1153 calories all for three caches.

At Ground Zero, the co-ordinates were some 7 to 10 metres out so finding the cache took longer than anticipated. The clue said “burnt stump” but there were several in the vicinity which made finding the cache a little harder; even after expanding the search area.

Finally, the cache was Sainted at 1321 hours.

Only two muggles walked by after I had made the find, otherwise what can be a busy area was reasonably quiet.

The walk back to the car took a little longer than the walk in as “rigor mortis” was setting in after yesterday morning’s activity.
Back at the car, the Fire Crew were still discussing work and furthering their training.
No more caching today - body to sore, feeling too tired so back to Huonville for some relaxation
TFTC and cheers
OldSaint.

Back out again and ready to be found .

After collecting a heap of moveables in the Northwest a few weeks ago this has been the first chance I have had to drop them off anywhere interesting.
Today myself and Goose of GooseandEgg were walking round Peter Murrell reserve cleaning up some Gc caches we had failed to find yet and along the way we kept our eyes out for good locations to hide these moveables.
I have done my best to spread them out a little bit so if you want to collect more than a couple it could take a few hours, we got here about 11 and left about 3.
It was a nice spring day with us both enjoying the day no end.

Myself and Goose of GooseandEgg have had a big weekend, starting out before 6am on Saturday we have covered some miles, heading North from Hobart we called at a couple of Southern caches near Melton Mowbray before making our way past Mole Creek to Flumming Hell and then on to Devonport and Ulverstone collecting many GC and GCA caches as we went.
Sunday morning was started with a FTF on a reverse cache and then a great little gadget cache as we headed West.

GooseandEgg dropped off this moveable and now i'm picking it up so I can move it on in the next week.

Later in the day we went to a CITO event and cleaned up the area and then cleaned up some caches, after a few stops along the way we made it back to Hobart by about 6pm, not a bad weekend at all

This movable will be back out soon.

I arrived home from work to find Neville (my old gnome) having a party in the front garden with a bunch of other movables. Neville gets bored on his retirement so I can't blame him for having the occasional get together but it was time for the 'riffraff' to move on so I made sure they went a good distance so they would not be back in a hurry. Enjoy the Northwest coast you mad partygoer, enjoy playing bridge.

Found loitering around a dirty old gnome quite close to home. I was surprised to interrupt such a big gathering. The retired gnome is staying put but the rest of the party goers are being moved along swiftly. So glad they didn't leave a mess. Thanks for the movable.

A lovely spring day to be out and about. We heard a retired gnome was feeling a bit lonely in his garden bed so have dropped by for a visit with quite a few friends. Bring on the party!

While finding the nearby GC cache with OldSaint on a glorious spring day, I thought I had better bring this moveable back with me to civilisation! Not much of a party to be had here today at the stump. There were plenty of mates, but no internet and a kick out time of 4.00 pm. Plus the thermal pool was only 24 degrees but warmer here than sitting in the snow on the nearby hills. Hitching a ride to whitewebbs house before moving on. TFTM

This cache has been hidden with some of its travelling companions under the big log

Hi Whitepaws
Left home, Huonville, this morning in the dark; travelled as far as Ulverstone and returned in the dark - left at 0530hrs and returned home at 2200hrs. A round trip comprising 772 kilometres including visits to Kindred, Turners Beach, West Ulverstone and Spreyton.

Weather: Wet at Huonville at 0530hrs, raining to Oatlands and then fine weather on the North West Coast for the day until I left and got back to Oatlands where it was humming down. Rained on and off from there to Huonville.

Having found one cache on Don Heads, my plan was to find as many as possible of the TasStats series as possible.
The puzzles had been solved some time ago, but this was virtually the first chance I have had to come North West in a similar period of time. So far in that series, I've found six with just one to find - so on the way to look for it, I thought I might as well try to find some caches along the way. This was the fourth on the way through the beautiful farming land from TasStats 6. So far today, I've found eleven including this one - All GCA; not one GC amongst them yet: 1 Trig, 6 Puzzles, three traditionals and now one moveable.

Attempts to get to the right side of the Bass Highway to get close to TasStats 7 failed; so I settled down; whilst stopped; I took a look for closer caches to be found on the GPS. A moveable nearby; off in search; not there - second time today; Sirius you .....
Phone call to sirius Tas and we make plans to say hello; visit it home; spend time and collect fourteen more moveables of which, this is one. Now you know the story behind my collecting your cache:
My tally for the day jumped from eleven to twenty-five comprising 1 Trig, 6 Puzzles, three traditionals and now fifteen moveables.

I Sainted the cache at 1400hrs.

After putting the caches in the car, I took some pics of my mates house. Back in the car myself and continued on the way to look for TasStats 7 again.

TFTC and cheers
OldSaint.

All go...now in the hands of Old Saint...cheers ST.

With such cold and inclement weather this past few weeks here in north west Tassie, going any where geocaching for me seemed to be out of the question. A good time to plan the various trips required in order to satisfy the various conflicting elements of the current DZ trophy points system. One trophy requirement is to find 100 moveable caches of which I need to find a further 26. So last night to my surprise, I saw 10 moveable caches had popped up on the radar and all with in a 10 km radius of home. I had thought of going caching last night but it was quite cold and even with a superb torch....power torch from Kleva Range.....with out doubt the best torch I have ever had.....it would be difficult finding all of the 10 moveable caches, so decided to head off early today...Friday morning....plus it was a better fit for some of the other dz trophy requirements..e.g. number of dz caches per day of the week, also for each day of the month plus the winter solstice trophy.Thankfully the weather was reasonably fine this morning, although quite over cast so the hunt was on. As soon as I had put my hat and boots on, Murder(the younger of the two canine family....4 yo) started to get pretty excited as he just loves both bush walking and travelling around in the geo fourby. My eldest canine...Sirius...is now too old(16.5 yo) to leave the comfort of his bed in front of the wood heater...which has an electric blanket of course(which he just loves and is great for his arthritis). Having walked 100's of km's with me geocaching over the years up numerous mountains, bush walking along many trails plus along vast stretches of beaches etc while geocaching, he has certainly earned his rest..an amazing companion who never gave up no matter how hard it was for him...a truly remarkeable effort.Looking at the various cache locations I had planned a clockwise route which would take me from home(Ulverstone) along South Road near the pet abbatoirs, on up to the Dial Range Reserve at  Penguin, then back along the old coast road back to Ulverstone. Looking at the 4th moveable cache on my list....'VW Turbo Bingo - Transport'.... in it's posted location I had a pretty good idea on where it would be as I had found other moveables quite near here in the past. Once at gz...a short amount of searching found the little mint tin hiding behind a large rock...the little black mint tin cache was soon in hand and the log signed.The cache and contents are in great condition too.This cache will be set free again in a couple of days time to continue its long journey around the state...will most likely take it further east to enjoy the scenery around Low Head on the eastern side of the Tamar River.A huge thank you to 2y'stassies for giving this cache a ride over on the Spirit of Tasmania so it can begin it's scenic tour of our wonderful state of Tasmania and to Sharnie's Tribe for placing all of the 10 moveable caches so close to home.Let's hope this little cache finds many new great locations on it's travels around Tassie.Many thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for us all to share and enjoy Whitepaws9....very much appreciated.Having secured the 4th of 10 finds on the list it is now off to find the 5th moveable cache...cheers ST

A quick visit to a popular spot in the central north west coast led to several much needed finds. Caching activity has been a little slow lately so loved it. TFTC and to 2y'stassies for bringing these within range

Ready for a tour of Tasmania

After a flying visit to Sale our visit to the big island has come to an end so we were heading to Port Melbourne to board the ferry for an over night trip back to Tasmania.

Before leaving Sale we checked our route for GA caches and found there were several in and around Traralgon and surrounding area. We didn't know if we would have sufficient time to pick them all up but of course we had to try.

We stopped in Traralgon to pick up an early morning coffee then headed to pick up Sonic, a moveable GA cache. After finding Sonic we headed to the Railway Reserve and Kick Horse Canyon. This is a lovely area for an early morning walk. We were glad we didn't have to scramble to the bottom of the canyon as the descent was very steep. We searched the area described in the hint but were unable to locate the cache. We were about to give up when one of us looked sideways and spotted a misshapen, black mint tin sitting in a gap between two tree roots. At first we thought that we may have found another cache but on extracting the log we found we had VW Turbo Bingo in our hands. Don't know whether this one should have a VW attached but we couldn't find one.

VW Turbo will join the other moveables we have for an over night ferry trip before starting its tour of Tasmania. We may have to make some repairs to the mint tin so that the lid will close.

Checked on this guy today, he's still in place.

Finally, a break in the rain so I could get out and move this little car on. I found myself in the beautiful Railway Reserve and decided to discover a part of it that I'd circled and heard about, but never ventured into; Kick Horse Canyon. Well, it's so worth it and I'm upset with myself for ignoring it this long. It's a good five or six metres down to the bottom and clearly a mountain-bikers paradise. I found this little moveable a home up the top of the canyon, looking down over the scenery. TFTC whitepaws9

Thanks to the handy hint provided by the previous finder/hider/mover, I was able to track down this VW/alternative make car and take it with me into my genuine VW Jetta for the trip home. Will place again soon, thanks Whitepaws9

Grabbed a moment today to pick up a couple of GCA moveable caches.

Picked up at an event in Canberra. This is now with me in Melbourne.

Swapped as part of a prisoner exchange at the Captains Flat Hotel and now headed south I believe!

#GA902 - 19:20; I had just returned from Tassie, where I had received alerts that a marauding bunch of moveables had reached Canberra. Conveniently they had just re-emerged not too far from home, so I popped over and did the pick up. I think the CO may have confused their German carmakers with this cache TFTC Whitepaws9

This appears to have gone missing since the event it was taken to 6 weeks ago. Perhaps you should email the person who took it there to see if they still have it or archive this cache now that the race is over.

Found at the Canberra event Summer Time Morning Tea. TFTC.

This is very sad... one of so many GCA caches that went astray following the event. I'm very late in logging my find because I only just found my notes from the event, but I definitely didn't take this one - I just took a couple of the very BIG caches that no-one else wanted to move. TFTC - and I hope it shows up again soon.
