My sincere apologies for not moving this cute little fellow on earlier. I was naughty at first and then the pandemic hit and last week was the first chance I had to get out on my own. Today at last I found a beaut spot for him to hide out and so at last he has a new home, luckily out of the weather.

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

Thanks for sharing Smile

Found this cute fellow at JohnoMawbs Valentine Days Event in John knight Park. What a pity he isn't full size. We could do with the work he could do clearing fence lines so that Blazeaid volunteers can rebuild the farmers' burnt out fences. I will keep him for a little while then move him on. TFTM Lbjezza
Placed a new log inside him. SL Clapping as SG as usually do in small caches.

This Moveable Cache is currently 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. Big Grin 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. Big Grin 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. Big Grin TFTE and TFTC’s Big Grin

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 Big Grin 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 Big Grin

P.S. The cache has been left at above coordinates for the next finder to move on.

Saw that someone had left these poor little defenseless creatures out in the bush in the dark, so we dashed off on a rescue mission. We will give them some counselling, and what medical aid they require, before releasing them into a more salubrious district.

Found this one on the table at the event for Australia Day for the moveables. Thanks for the moveable which was one of 101 that made their way to Ebenezer from far away places to spend some time in the local winery before scattering to new places. Good luck on any further moves

The latest Geocaching Australia game runs from 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST

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.

A moving cache, by nature, may have been moved since you last determined its location. It may have been picked up but not yet rehidden so it's considered 'in-transit'. There is no foolproof method of determining where a cache is simply by the log types that have been placed against the cache.
 
26-Jan-19
Headed up to Ebenezer with LuckyL10n to attend the Aussie Day event. 45 degree day made for a bit of a fun trip, however it was pleasant in the winery building. A good few hardy souls were in attendance as well as over 100 moveables. Some good conversation with cachers not met before and a good couple of hours was had by all. The trip home was a little different to what was expected but turned out ok....

Thanks to all the CO's for the caches...

Found at the Australia Day event at Tizzana

Called into Tizzana Winery to buy some wine and saw the moveables and the list. The family wanted to continue on so said "Hi" to a few we'd previously met then headed on with some wine. Diolch for the moveable. I didn't pick up any.
 
26-Jan-19
Attended the 'Australia Day Moveable Event 2018' and came face to face with other like minded cachers, one being another lucky (luckyl10n) and 101 moveables in the area. Many thanks to the CO's who have published them over time and others who bought them together for the event.

After a failed mission to join the crew doing the ‘BLACK OPs - Carpe Noctem’ (GC32WN6) cache this weekend due to being unable to get time off work (on Friday and Saturday) and other commitments arising, Sad I did however sweet talk my way into having Sunday off. Smile This then lead me to take a look around and see what was available within my free day to make it a day out. After taking a look around the GC and GCA caches, I found 2 events on the same day close to each other and I decided on attending them both. Smile After this I took a look at what caches I could find along the way and made my trail to make it an enjoyable day out. Something I didn’t expect was, a FTF which was on cache GA13305. Big Grin This added to the fun. I would like to thank all the CO’s of the caches I found and for the fun and enjoyment I had while finding them. Big Grin

I spent the morning in the company of some incedible cachers from Canberra and Temora at an Event organised by Sol de Lune to enlighten us on the new GCA Game. I for one understand the game better now so thanks to SDL and Black Bunny for enlightening us. The weather was hot and sunny so at times chairs were moved around to stay in the shade. Masses of Movables appeared and were eagerly found but not moved by all present. Very Happy

Headed down to Melbourne for the 'Meet the Moveables' event at Brimbank Park. Lots of moveables in attendance and this was one of them. Managed to sign a lot of logs, along with all the other cachers doing the same thing. A few laughs and a good time was had by all.

A good day to be out and a great event. Also great to see so any older moveables. Thanks for this one, which is now with me in Canberra and will be moved on shortly.

A quick pickup of moveables today for a secret meeting to take place in just a little while. Your geocache would ike to join the secret activities so it may not move for a little while but it will be safe and sound and will be moved along (and hopefully logged quite a bit) in the not too distant future.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for this geocache here today.

Dozer came here to rest and hang out with a few friends. When he got here, he discovered there is an evil Emperor in the vicinity casting spells on all moveable beings. Dozer wasn't very happy about this so, wanting to remain happy, he raced off down the track into the bush trying to get as far away as he could. However is was too late. Emperor Buffo saw him from his high perch and froze Dozers wheels. Poor Dozer isn't happy at all. No doubt as soon as he hears or sees you coming his smile will flash back across his face. Please come and save Dozer and his friends from the evil Emperor Buffo. Smile
 
traveling home from the coast today i5 decided to stop for a few geocaches. Dozer was one of them. I spent much longer than I should have looking for this one. It was in the coast place I looked but was covered over with crumbed rotting wood. Ah well. He is now in my hands and will be placed very soon in the Dubbo area.

A rainy cold day in Armidale, too wet to do anything but funny how it's not too wet to find some caches! We knew where Happy Dozer was hanging out but hadn't taken much notice before. Certainly didn't know there was a picnic bench here. A quick find because this colourful little dozer doesn't exactly blend into the Armidale countryside in winter. Laughing Picked up to move along.

Hi LBJEZZA
After a few wet days, not having time to cache due to circumstances, I needed time to find a cache or two!
Went in search of four moveables just to get back into practice, of which, this was one.
Had an easy find due to good co-ords and Sharnie's Tribe bringing these caches South.
Sainted the Angel at 1335hrs.
A wet day, not the best to cache on, but feel a bit more relaxed as a result.
TFTC and cheers
