Description
My fourth (and a little late) entrant into the Moveable Cache Race 2012/13 - BINGO
Dancing Queen, wait, no... Snowmobile? - BINGO
I am an entrant into the moveable cache race for 2012/13 with the theme of 'Transport'. I am a mini orange.... well, I guess you'll just find out what I actually am when you find me! :-)
Please move me within 2 days of when you find me, more than 1km, to keep in the spirit of the game!
If possible, try to log my find as soon as possible so other people do not partake in fruitless searches. Then, move me on again to a spot more than 1km away!
The Rules:
- Your cache must be a form of transport or anything, even peripherally related to transport.
- You are welcome to join the game after it has started provided you list the hidden date and published date as 1 December 2012 and add the word bingo to your cache tags
- You are required to add the word bingo to the tags on your entry at Geocaching Australia
- You can add the word bingo to your tags by visiting your cache page and clicking on Tag in the Actions section in the right hand navigation section of your cache page
The game commences at 00:00:00 1 December 2012 AEDST and concludes 23:59:59 31 January 2013 AEDST - The game administrators decision is final
You can find and move your own cache during the game period provided it is not the caches first move - Caches must be found and hidden by the same cacher (i.e. no mailing the cache to another cacher to hide)
- Only moves count towards your bingo card and you must move the cache at least 1km to count as a valid move
- There is no limit to the distance other cachers can move the cache
- Other cachers in the game will find / move your cache, but they are requested to move it on within 2 days
Good luck and have fun!

Discovered 'Dancing Queen, wait, no.. Snowmobile? 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 Lemmykc 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.

Find #53 - 2 for today. Found on 28/01/2017 12:50pm
Found it, log book is soaked. Looked at the location and the cache is placed directly in the path of water run off. Have replaced cache a bit higher up, hopefully it will stay there. TNSLLN

Grabbed this from tronador while attending GC6RY6J.
Thought I would move this into the Shire for an experience.
Will post new coordinates when it is in place.
OK, it now has a Multi Million $ View at S34 04.220 E151 06.663

Found this in the vicinity of the event. Coords pointed into the neighbours house. Luckily the hider was nearby to point me in the right direction. Gave the cache to Wazza9 who asked to move it on.

Dancing Queen, wait, no... Snowmobile? - BINGO & The Wheel are sharing a home together in a grey plastic shopping bag hidden under a low grassy bush.
I went to this spot to pick up another cache but it had been swapped out and what I collected was this one. It will suit me for the rowing GeosportZ challenge though.
Will re-hide shortly

I had heard a rumour the gnome fairy had visited my hiding spot in Windsor. Today I went and checked, bingo, it was true in its place was a bingo moveable which is again in my possession waiting on the next job.

Visiting Windsor and did a moveable cache swap...the Dancing Queen is no ready for some more adventures.
Driving passed and decided to check and see if this moveable was still around. Eventually found sitting on top of the GC cache at this location. Have taken and will it move on.
Dropped off during a day out in the Hawkesbury....
Picked this one up today whilst out and about in the Sutherland area. Will move on soon. TFTC!
While in Sutherland moved this one down here. Good luck on your trip

I have tried to keep the new location close to the original theme of transport.
Found the Snowmobile on our way to Goulburn.
This is the first mobile cache I have found.
I am excited about this find and looking forward to finding a new place to hide it.
Will try to move it on soon
This location was a nice little rest stop in the Remberance Parkway

Went out check on a few movables, and none were there. We got all wet looking, and the lovely smell of wet dog went home with us. I'd these are all gone, and should probably be archived.

#GA170 - 21:20; Out on our nightly caching run with MrDamage and I convinced him we should drop by and log a stash of GCA moveables after picking up our nightly GC cache. Parked near where I had calculated GZ would be and kicked the GPSr into gear only to have the batteries go flat . Swapped the torch batteries into the GPSr and made our way to GZ where there was in fact a stash just waiting to be logged. Took the time to log them, but left for others to move them on.

Found this one with heaps of frogs, angels, gnomes and bingo things. Signed the log and left it here to continue the party.
Dropped on behalf of someone else. All good to go.
Went to collect this one and ended up with a whole swag of GCA moveables! Woo Hoo
Will move them on in the next day or so Thanks for the moveable

Dropped off to continue it's travels.
Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1200. Needed to have some running repairs while in the workshop as the glue had let the Snowmobile move away from the log container.It can now be found at the posted co-ords.
Picked up near a regular GCA drop off spot. It was out in the open and it's a wonder the council mowing staff didn't gobble him up with the ride-on.
Now heading north.
Now heading north.
Phew, and here was I readying myself for a Kokoda assault. Thanks WazzaAndWenches , Heathcote is a darned sight easier to get to than PNG.
Oops. Me very, very bad.
Yes, Dancing Queen is in Heathcote and not somewhere in the mud along the Kakoda Track. Besides, I'm far too lazy to make the trek.
Correct coords now added.
I was looking through my stats and noticed I'd found a cache in PNG then realised it must be a moveable that had made the swim. It wasn't until I delved a little deeper that I found it was all my fault. Pity, it did make my stats look interesting

My guess is that this has been dropped at S36° 54.409' E144° 41.652', not in Papua New Guinea as Whitepaws9 notes .
Could WazzaAndWenches please confirm the coordinates currently given on the page or amend them as necessary?
Many thanks.

Dropped in Heathcote after a trip to South Melbourne.
On the way home from the high country, I was going to stop by for a look until I read the last couple of logs.
Unfortunately, I have no idea from those logs if this one is still at the posted coordinates or not so I figured that passing by at 110 km/h would be a far better option than a fruitless search followed by all the subsequent yelling .
Could someone confirm whether this is actually at the coordinates given and if it isn't, could it be disabled until its new location is determined, or else archived, to stop it showing up in searches.
Many thanks.
