My owner would love someone to check up if I am still at the listed WP. The previous finder didnt take me just found me and left me in place. My owner lives in Melbourne so cant check on me 
Moved down to the big smoke for a quick pick up and move (hopefully).
Found this cache at the Pop Up event at the Hawkesbury. Good luck on your future journey. Diolch

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.

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....
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.

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.

Found this one at the Australia Day Moveable Event 2018 event held at Tizzana Winery in Ebenezer. Another fantastic turnout at the event run for the current 2018/19 Journey or Destination game being run on Geocaching Australia which saw a total of 101 moveables come together. Thanks for sharing.

Relogging this move after the original move was lost due to the server failure on 9 January...bringing back harmony to the map.
Back in play with some mates.

Headed up to attend the Meet the Moveables (NSW) event and this was one of the many many moveables in attendance. Great time was had by all and it was good to put faces to the names of those cachers I'd only seen in logs before.
Thanks for sharing this one....(and apologies for the late log)

Spotted this one at a little mini moveable convention up on the hill this afternoon. Signed our names and left it in the care of alnic39 to move on. Thanks for sharing.
Rated: for Overall Experience
Met up with alnic39 after work and a group of moveables were complaining of the cramped space that they were kept in. So while we were catching up we let them stretch their legs. Got their autographs & they wanted to know why they were so popular again. Told them it was part of the summer games & they were cool with that.

After that we gathered them back up and put them back into alnic39 yesgeomobile as he was destined to place them further up the mountains. Thanks for the moveable & good luck on your journeys

Virtual move as will be picked up tomorrow - don't look here.
Moved to a location along the road to Tallowa Dam in Kangaroo Valley. You will have to negotiate the embankment - don't park on the road. High clearance vehicle but 4WD not necessary. There are a couple of options to access the parking. A short walk into the bush with some fine scribbly gums to admire. Cache is with a few other moveables. Averaged location. If you see a large, leaning scribbly gum you're nearly there.
Moved to Woollies for pick up, don't bother looking gone already.
Here we are again, must take you further away next week.

I decided to take advantage of a couple flexdays to come up the mountains and stay with my favorite old man
Of course there was a price to pay and I was made to find a few caches to pay for my bread and board, nothing onerous this far but I fear he may have other plans for the next couple days.
Thanks for the cache

This little fellow with a broom is out and about. Hope he has time to sweep all the cobwebs away
Although we only needed one Dragon Zone cache find today we decided to continue towards Swan Port and collect this cache on the way. Mr Y'stassie headed back along the track to the car so that he could bring it to Swan Port to pick up Mrs Y'stassie who would walk through picking Gneat and Clean Gnome on the way.
The tide was right out this morning so the mud flats were exposed and we were able to watch a range of small water birds foraging along the shoreline in the mud and shallow water. There were also several swan families paddling along further from the edge of the bay. No hoppies were seen along the latter section of the path but there were rustlings in the rushes beside the path in several areas. Mrs Y'stassie went through quickly just in case there were snakes around.
As she approached she spied the neat hide - maybe Gneat and Clean had spent his time here sweeping. Sure enough there was the little gnome behind his bark door in the end log.
Gnome in hand Mrs Y'stassie continued on enjoying the bush then the plants in the coastal gardens. As she arrived at the end of the track Mr Y'stassie pulled into the car park so no wait was required.
Thanks Nutwood33 for bringing this cache to Tasmanian. We will get it out and about in the North West soon.

Left this gnome to do a bit of beach cleaning; If seven gnomes, with seven brooms sweep for half a year....
Well, there's only one gnome, with one broom and I hope he won't be here for six months!

This looks remarkably like the spot I left a Beagle Boy in, a few weeks back. I now understand how he made a "clean" getaway. Gneat!
I suspect cleaning up Tassie might be beyond this little fellow but he's going to get the opportunity.

Stopped in at Darke's Monument while passing trough the area and after a bit of a wander around the area enjoying the views I headed over to the nice tree and had a look for this cache. It was obvious where it was as it was the only part of the bush that was Gneat and Clean 
Cheers and thanks for the cache GJMMelb

Parked in Park Rd met up with teamMerlin and Splitty Miller JJCC for a full day caching. We walked to the Great North Walk through the park, the council has recently surfaced the road that runs between the 2 sections of the park. It was a nice walk through the park some sections were slippery after the rain. Got to GZ and found both the moveable and then found the traditional. Signed the log in the traditional and replaced as found. Took the moveable with us, Both the traditional cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache moveable GJMMelb
Decided to walk to the resealed road as it seemed a little easier than the way we got to the 2 caches.
