Looks like this moveable is still in location at the above co-ords. If any cacher is in the area, why not pick it up and help it on it's way again...
In need of a walk I thought I'd try to find the GCA caches in this area. After a short walk from the carpark I was soon doing loops around GZ. After two years since the last find, the cache was quite covered in detritus but I eventually spotted it. As I'm not going anywhere of interest I thought I'd leave it in situ for the next finder. Thankd for the movable tronador, hopefully it won't be such a long time between drinks for the next finder!

After a time in care, Christmas Angel is back in her element, and now resides in The Shepherd's Hill area on the southern side of Adelaide.
She's back in the bush, pretty close to generous parking, and just a little walk will get you to this beauty.
If you are one of the many who has yet to see her, you owe it to yourself to go find her.

Picked up Christmas Angel on my way home from watching the Women's Tour Down Under event in the Barrossa today.
She is indeed a beautiful thing. She looks a bit sad, and fair enough after a bit of time on her own, albeit in a wonderful spot.
She is in excellent condition. TFTC tronador. Inspired and inspiring.

I was out and about today finding GCA moveables, and since I have had this angel for quite awhile now I needed to get her moving again, problem was is that I have not found a suitable spot to move her too. Today I took a moveable from this spot and left her in its place. Ill be keeping a watch on her and if she is not moved soon ill retrieve her so she is not left in the elements too long.
Gosh, what a beautiful moveable! I was lucky to spy this Christmas Angel in the hands of ParisLaura when I met her on Rundle Mall. TFTC Tronador.

I searched for this angel today in her previous hiding spot not realizing she had already been found, then after attending an event she kind of appeared and is joining me on my journey back home. Thanks Barnic for passing her on, what a gorgeous and special GCA to find.

Down this way today so picked up this not so little moveable in a mini power trail 
We brought a bit of christmas to Port Noarlunga today.
Now resting close to the Onkaparinga River.

This moveable must have a few frequent Flier points in the bank!
Luckily the cache was easy to spot, as the GPSr wanted me to continue for another 14 or so metres past the drop off.
Christmas Angel will have a short stay at our house before we decide on where to re-hide her next.
Thanks tronador.

This has been touring around in my car for way too long, sorry about that. I finally took the chance to drop it off today while on a walk in Whiteman Park. A nice little spot with lots of kangaroos nearby.
Safe travels!

I stopped in this afternoon and was happy to make a quick find here. In exchange I left a frog. Thanks for the cache tronador! 
Moved the angel to the foothills of Kalamunda.
Flown over from Adelaide to visit the hillbillies in Beverley Shire, drinking at the Christmas Tree Well.
Come & rescue me from potential muggle purgatory or worse prescribed burn hell.

I have contacted the last known taker of my cache Lazarus_68 and am awaiting a response.
This is a good cache. Once again, perhaps it would be best to PM previous finders and get it back out. Archiving is a very final solution for a moveable that someone's forgotten to re-hide.
It's been nearly three months since this cache was picked up.
It would be nice to see it re-hidden to update it's location in searches.

Took the Angel on a trip to NSW but didn't spot a good spot that was safe from floods so she travelled on to SA and is now watching the planes.
Safest access is from heading north.

Found whilst with Friesianess. Was looking for a gnome or two to take on a trip but they all appear to have gone South for the summer so the Christmas Angel has been stuffed in the hand luggage and off to Newcastle.

Too beautiful an angel to be left out for long - please don't leave her there. Dropped off on our way back from visiting family in Exeter.
What a beautiful angel - luckily her container kept her nice and dry from all that rain we had last night. We picked up a gnome and then searched for the Christmas Angel but had no luck initially. We had some spare time later in the day so returned and we found her behind a different rock to where we were looking the first time.

Apologies to the cache owner for having this cache for so long, sometimes life gets in the way of caching. 
Back out again now ready to play

Tried to find this cache whilst visiting the North West Coast of Tasmania but Sharnies had been too fast for me. Luckily, they decided to hide her down South and I managed a find this morning.
Sainted the cache at 1115hrs on my way back to the Huon from the Tasman Peninsula. A great angel!
TFTC and cheers

The Christmas Angel has moved south and is ready for her next move
A quick find on the way home from work, didn't even need a GPS after checking the map and memorising the detailed hint.
After a trip to the West Coast Christmas Angel decided to take a break by the sea and wait for her next lift.
This lovely lady has remained hidden under a pile of bark and sticks for two months so it is time to move on. Maybe a trip to the little island is on the cards. Last seen tucked away among the caching gear on the back seat of the y's caching vehicle.
Finally moved into hiding place.
Ready to go

Found in the hands of tigersden while I was in Bendigo for few weeks.

Brought down to Central Victoria from Sydney to another cacher who enjoys moveables. Not at the published coords but in the hands of tigersden nearby.
Grabbed from James for a move to Bendigo where I know another moveable hunter will enjoy a few to play with. Will be dropped off Friday night, enjoying getting some distance on a few of them for a change as the last few years since the frogs work never took me anywhere during the races to help them along. Nice to see one I have had before once again.
Flying south to meet the Tiger (via a trip to the pub to meet the Richary!)
Wow that is a LOT of caches my BB brought home! I would have gone too but some of us had to go to work. Now my house is full of Gnomes, frogs, Bingos and Angels! I’m going to have to do something about this and start hiding them again before they take over our unit once and for all!
Operation: Dawn of War (Clan Phoenix 
Gnomeland Raid)
Cache Condition: She is deceptively beautiful and peaceful as ever... BEWARE!
Operation Summary: Leaving Sydney at 4am to reach The Gnomelands by dawn I kicked off the 'The Great Mount Piddington Moveable Challenge' with a raid of freedom to release over 60 moveables from their mountain prison to freedom. 4.5 hours of morning caching saw a good few sack-fulls return with me to Sydney.
The caches have been moved to St Leonards for some TLC and a bath so don’t go looking for them there. They will be released shortly in various locations.

Up near the hilltop, and time to wander the Gnomelands ... the Garmin gave a less than merry dance, and there was much slipsliding on the loose litter ... and though likely hides were peered and poked at, this Angel was elusive. As it has been placed barely two days ago, for the seeker to make amends on another visit ...
Christmas Angel has found a new spot to while away the time.
Christmas Angel has made her way to the Clwydd relocation Center and will be on her way very soon.

Off to Clwydd goes the Christmas Angel!
Wonder where she'll end up . . .
Another find, and very close to home!
Thanks to rogerw3 for the move!

A quick stopover in Leura to meet the local moveable "nut!" and then another trip up the mountains. Don't bother looking this is gone already.
After 2 trains and a bus I got to GZ and an easy find was made.
Thanks for the neat location, now for a trip up the mountains.

If one of the objectives of a movable race is to find new and interesting locations then here's your proof. Chanced upon this place with great views over Middle Harbour. Left 3 angels in their green carry bag. Looks like another movable, long lost, hitched a ride with them.
Three angels out, three angels in. Hopefully Tyreless can give them another move before the end of the race.
And here she is back in my posssession for the third time this race! Have to find a new hiding space tomorrow as time is running out. Thanks tronador.
Even though I decided to take no part in this years race over Dec/Jan, It just couldn't be avoided when caches are placed at ones doorstep. DOH! Now I need to move them on

I came looking for this one this morning but the cupboard was bare - has anyone seen it?
[Hey, that log by PPE wasn't there yesterday - perhaps he is a time lord who can travel back in time and write logs? Still, good to know that the angel I didn't find wasn't meant to be there.]
Actually, the cupboard wasn't entirely bare. Hidden in the leaf litter on the floor of the hide was a movable from last year's race (Pony Express by Just a Cacher, last log is dated 10/1/2013).

Grabbed this one again as I was dropping off a few angels and a lot of moveables...

Taken north to the Kenley Park transit lounge with another angel awaiting another finder.
Second time I have had this angel. Left another in it's place before moving this one further north. Thanks!
Moved right into the centre of Sydney's most populated area!
Found near my house!
Thanks to rogerw3 for moving this festive angel . . .

Christmas Angel is now asleep so don't wake her up and don't bother looking for her she is long gone.
I did have some trouble finding this one as the coords were a long way off, but the hint did help and I just looked for the right kind of tree on the way back up the track and it worked out.
Now for a quick trip up the mountains and back down to the big smoke just in time to get ready for Christmas by snaring a few unsuspecting souls.

As I am heading up the coast for a week it was time to get rid of my angel collection and leave them to terrorise the Lindfield neighbourhood. There are two here and two more nearby.
This wasn't the one I was expecting to find here, but Baktrak had beaten me to the spot. So this was an unexpected surprise. Already been found by the Hornsby area angel hunters so I might have to find another spot.
A little angel left and a big one moved in. Beecroft is in even more peril.
This was tricky. I had to hold her gaze for protection but avert my eyes while extracting the log. Thanks tronador.

Moved this one under a quantum lock to the usual Normo Depot, now Angel City Normanhurst.
