Found the wheel in Broome about a year after it was placed. I moved it to this location before I hit the dirt track through Nullagine.
Found The Wheel in the road guard just over a year after it was hidden

. Thanks to the previous hider. I will move it alongI picked this moveable cache up today. The cache and log are still in good condition. Will wheel it down the road and I will find another place for it to hide. It was hidden here in 14-Jul-18, and I picked it up on 14-Jul-22, so exactly four years today hidden here in Katherine. TFTC Julz76.

Saw this moveable pop up close to where we were staying so headed out today in search of The Wheel. At GZ we looked for ages but nothing resembling the hint was obvious. Eventually gave up and went to find a nearby GC cache and looked at the ground and saw an area consistent with the hint and unbelievably it was the cache 29m from GZ. We were very happy to make the find.
Many thanks Julz76 for publishing this cache for our enjoyment and adding to our geocaching experience.

The Wheel has been rolling for a while now, but without suffering any real wear and tear as it has shifted 672 km from the centre of Adelaide to suburban Melbourne.
It's now away from the hustle and bustle of a city to the quiet of a park, nestling in the ground cover behind a protective tree.
Come take it for another roll.

Picked up this little delight earlier this afternoon.
Will get it out in a new location as soon as.
All in excellent condition, with many, many logs. Great to see history developing, and a pleasure to add my bit.

I got back to work today after a week of holidays with intentions of grabbing a nearby moveable, however I was a bit slow and it had already moved on, so I left this little wheel in the same spot as a GCA traditional in the city. It is a rather safe spot so hopefully moves on again soon.
Found this one on a lovely evening out hunting GCA moveable geocaches.
Will move it along again soon. TFTC

Discovered 'The Wheel' 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 Julz76 for the cache.

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.

Top spot next to the water. No need to leave the path, it's within grabbing distance!
Not you again!

Stopped by Redwood Grove Park as I passed through the ACT from Captain's Flat to Sydney. This is one of a number of moveables collected from within the park and taken for a ride to Sydney.
It will be released to the wilds again in the next few days.

An extensive search in the area turned up quite a few spiders with webs and some rubbish, but no caches. Perhaps our GPSrs were out this evening, or perhaps someone else got here first.

My 4th ever GCA cache (and third today)! It was at the Pie for Pi event today with some other GCA moveable caches so figured I'd log these few. Thank you!
Spotted and signed today but not at the posted coordinates as it had already been retrieved from there by tronador. So I found it at the Pi day event but left it with tron to move on. Thanks Julz76, one I hadn't seen before.
Was looking over the GCA website and noticed this one visiting nearby my regular MTB ride so it was a must stop. Quick find, left pencil in the garage but a small piece of charcoal did the job to sign the log. As I couldn't work out where I might move it to, I left it in its current place. I'll have a think and if it's still there in a few weeks I'll look at moving it elsewhere.
13/3/2015 Have picked it up to move on but will take it to Pi day first.

Out on a puzzle cache hunt near Berowra with EDF and dropped this off. It is beside the Great North Walk, only a metre or two off the track.
Found a year and a day since the last find. Hadn't checked the GCA map here for a long time as I thought I had found everything except a couple of trig points. Wanting to test out some new boots before a big walk in the next day or two, I thought I'ld collect the two trig points, so was nicely surprised to find a movable. I'll take it with me to Berowra area soon. It was well hidden so I am glad there wasn't anyone to witness me disturbing Sue's peaceful rest. TFTC. SL.

We were rambling down the Great North Walk with Pyobeon when he piloted this out of his bag. I'll sign that said I , now to find a few more GCA caches. Not moved.
Zal and I explored the cemetery and found a good hidey hole behind a rock and at the base of a gum tree.
Once again too many people hanging around the hall and having lunch/afternoon tea to have a look. In any case I do not see how you could hide anything bigger than a Femto cache at the base of the lamp post!
