Looks like this one has gone AWOL so we'll archive it. If it re-appears the owner can re-instate it.

Thanks for initial hide...

The purple rocket was not in the belly of the beast Agro when I hid him. He has been lost some where along the way. He is not at this location.

Picked up Agro this morning but there was no sign of a micro purple rocket inside or outside the crocodile. Purple Rocket appears to have blasted out of sight.

While walking around the river last night with d@geo, I want to check at ground zero.
I got my GPS to check where ground zero was, as the fence log/post had been removed.
And it was dark, it was about near 7 pm.
Once at ground zero, we used our only touch to search around.

We could see tractor wheel prints, a new fence, and long grass.
We spotted something (see photo)

We recovered the cache, and it is now a bit dirty, but safe in my car.
I will find it a new home soon.

D@geo told me, I should buy a lotto ticket, after this recovery.
That one lucky cache.

Done a slow drive by, the fencer was working at the site, and it was raining.
I couldn't see the hiding log/post (Tuesday night, just after dark)

I hope someone else has already moved it on, but has not logged it.
 
18-Jun-19
I have been told that work has happened/happing at ground zero, a new fence.
I planned to check on this cache tonight (Tuesday)

Bother, bother, bother! Would have loved to have made a clean sweep of this little circuit. Good luck to everyone else. Log was just too heavy for me to roll.

I was doing a walk around the river last night, passing by this hide.
The fence post (laying on the ground) The cache was hiding in had been turned over and the trackable was under it.
I turn the post back over, and put the cache back, behind some bark in a crack of the fence post.

So it is still there, ready to find.

Travelling through the lovely town of Maffra today for work and I finally spotted a good hiding place with great parking. Park at or opposite the pub, grab a drink and head over the road to the start of the rail trail to find this moveable and his friend. TFTC Chwiliwr!

You know when you're just wandering along and you see a cache out the corner of your eye and completely flip your lid? That's what happened to me. I was tottering around the MEGA in Alexandra and there's a weird boot thing.....and a pipey thing.....and a sistema.....and a toy car.....this can only mean one thing. A collection of GCA moveables!! I was happily signing my name in them when Ikkibrady approached and invited me to take one or more. Wonderful! So off you come with me little car. TFTC Chwiliwr!

Moved towards the end of the day finding some geocaches around the Rosebud area. These should all be easy enough to find, especially if you are a local who might own a geocache right at GZ.

A quick find, thanks to knowing exactly where it would be hidden (right on top oif one of my own) Smile Purple rocket will be out and about in a day or so.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for hiding this geocache for us to find here today.

Another GC cache, another chance to drop off a moveable nearby. Safe travels little car!
 
05-Jan-17
Woohoo!! After meeting SpatialRiq nearby heading for a FTF on a new puzzle cache he told me that he had just dropped off these three, so I rushed over to pick them up before the park closed, and made a quick find and replaced them with 2 others.

Unfortunately I then couldn't get out of the park as it was 5 minutes after closing time and I found myself in between 2 locked gates! ShockedShocked

I ended up calling the help line and someone had to come and let me out... EmbarassedEmbarassedEmbarassed

I will get this one moved to a new location very soon. Thanks for the cache Chwiliwr!
