Jophiel Blackfellows Creek, South Australia, Australia
By sharnie's tribe on 01-Dec-13. Waypoint GA6555

Moved south a bit. Very close to Kuitpo Forest.

A quick find on our way to Burra for lunch. This geocache is now at our home south of Adelaide, and will be relocated soon.

Thanks sharnie's tribe.

Lovely movables picked up and will be moved along soon.

Cache has now been found and handed off to another local cacher who will move it on shortly...

As usual, GCA moveables left at a GC Mega can sit around for a while...look at the number of trackables still listed at any Mega.

Any moveables still listed at the Queanbeyan Mega are currently being rounded up and will be moved on as soon as possible.

3 months since last seen, needs archiving

Found on the moveables table at the Clear Waters Event along with more than 60 others. Moveable smorgasbord! TFTM sharnie's tribe.

Thanks for chance to find it.

#GA3656 - 18:45; Spotted the table full of moveables earlier in the afternoon and logged the first of many unfound moveables then. Returned later to log the rest of them before they disperse. This was one of the group that I managed to locate! TFTC

Discovered at the Clear Waters Catchup with a large bunch of other moveables. It was great to see such support for the Geocaching Australia site and it's caches. TFTC

Now in Bendigo

Gotcha

Picked up along with quite a few others and they are now all on their way to Bendigo via Echuca over the next couple of days.

Having had a smooth trip on the Spirit of Tasmania, and an equally smooth trip by vehicle northwards, this moveable is now comfortably residing at Shepparton until it is collected to continue its journey

We collected this one last night in Devonport, after a lovely farewell dinner with 2y’stassies
Today he is waiting to board the Spirit of Tasmania to start a new adventure on the mainland
Thanks for the opportunity of moving him
And hopefully another footstep towards my destination

On our recent trip to the south of the state we collected up a few moveable caches, today they were passed on to another team who will help them continue their journeys, thanks for travelling with us for a bit

Out and about again in the south of the state. This was a quick find in a location we've visited before to collect moveables, we seem to have collected up a few moveable caches this weekend and will move them towards the north of the state in the next few days. TFTC

Journey or Destination

Game Period: 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST

It is sometimes said [citation needed] that the game of geocaching is not about the destination it is about the journey. This game is about the choices you make in the experience of the journey or the destination.

On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing field with a number of ground tiles. Your playing field is a grid 20 x 20 ground tiles making a total number of 400 possible steps you can take on your journey or destination. You choose whether you want to find and follow the path or whether you wanted to meander around. A playing field is unique to each player so there is no benefit in teaming up to beat the system through brute force.

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. There are a number of different ground tiles that will be revealed when you click on your playing field. It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile.


Dirt. The ground beneath the ground tile is just plain old brown dirt.

Dirt with some points. The ground beneath the tile is brown dirt but it has some points associated with it.

Concrete. The ground beneath is part of the pathway that will lead you on your way to your destination but has no point value.

Start. A concrete ground tile that has a blue map marker.

Destination. A ground tile that has a green map marker.


Meandering around and avoiding the path will accumulate points that will be used to place on you the ladder of wanderers. The more you stay off the path the higher the number of points you will accumulate and it will be your journey that will be the determining factor in whether you place into a prize winning position. You are free to select any ground tile to click on; they do not need to be next to each other.

Trying to find the path may mean you strike out on the dirt until you eventually come across the path and as a geocacher who can't say that this isn't a tried and true method. Once you find the path however will you try and follow the path as it changes direction around your playing field? Do you go North, South, East or West to try and find the next concrete tile along the path? If you head one way are you heading towards the start or towards the destination? When you do happen upon the destination tile then you will automatically be in a winning position.

At any point you are free to change from the journey to the destination and vice versa but you won't be able to regenerate your playing field. You are also free to keep playing as long as you have qualifying geocaches, accumulating more and more dirt tile points and placing you higher and higher on the ladder.

Qualifying geocaches fall into two categories. Finds and Hides.

A qualifying find is a geocache that meets the following criteria:

The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia

The geocache has a hidden date prior to the game commencing

The geocache was logged by you on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period

The geocache was physically found by you during the game period

The geocache is not owned by you unless it is a moveable geocache

The geocache has not previously been found by you during the game period

The geocache is one of the following types:


Burke and Wills

Moveable (you will qualify only once for a find on a moveable geocache)

Traditional

TrigPoint

Augmented Reality

Beacon

Gadget

Multi-cache

Night Cache

Podcache

Reverse

Unknown or Mystery



A qualifying hide is a geocache that meets the following criteria:

The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia

The geocache has a hidden date after the game has commenced

The geocache was published on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period

The geocache has a container size of regular or larger (Note: A regular geocache has a volume of 1 litre or more)

The geocache is one of the following types:


Moveable

Traditional

Augmented Reality

Beacon

Gadget

Multi-cache

Night Cache

Podcache

Reverse

Unknown or Mystery



The game tracking mechanism relies upon your honesty when logging geocaches as found or hidden.

The games administrators will undertake verification of a statistically significant number of logs.

Players who continually log inaccurate information will be disqualified from the game. The game administrators decision is final.

The game administrators will subtract qualifying hide or find geocaches from your tally if they are found to be not genuine.

The game administrators reserve the right to provide clarifications to the rules at any point during the game.

Don't forget to claim your limited time game trophies, if your qualify, while the game is in progress. Once the game completes the ability to claim your trophies is lost for ever.

back out

There was a commotion at the door and we found fifteen moveables looking for a bed for the night. Not sure they will think it was a luxurious resort after fighting for space in a couple of boxes on the couch that they had to share with the another guest, our son's dog! After a busy night for the host the fifteen moveables were provided with a luxurious breakfast (apart from the instant coffee). Now Jophiel is ready to hit the road again. Thanks Sharnie's Tribe for the fun moveable.

Sorry about the lengthy logs. We are currently aiming for a dragon zone virtual verbosity trophy. We have just received the 100 word trophy, so now aiming for the 150 word trophy. For all new GCA cachers, a warning, write a decent log to start with in case you want to get these virtual trophies down the track. Having now passed 2000 GCA finds with a lot of one word logs (on many moveables) makes for a lot of typing now!

We are participating in the States of the Nation games which are currently running from 16 December 2017 until 21 January 2018 and we will try and use this find against one of the scavenges.

States of the Nation is a real and virtual geocaching scavenger hunt where your home state will compete against other Australian states to find and hide geocaches. Over the 5 week course of the game there will be hundreds of scavenges that you can track down, find and convert into points for your state. Some scavenges will be easy. Some scavenges will be tough. Some scavenges may be impossible. Don't despair. You are not competing just for yourself; you are competing as a state.

There will be a number of scavenges released on a weekly basis but each scavenge will remain until the end of the game. This means even if you decide to join the game part way through, the early scavenges are still available for you to claim. Scavenges will require you to find a geocache, hide a geocache, attend an event or do something else completely different. The game focuses on all aspects of geocaching and so all cache types, sizes, terrain and difficulty will be up for scavenging. TrigPoints, Events, History, Virtual, Webcam, Podcache and Locationless geocaches are all scavengable, so you're not just looking for a box under a bush. Each week there will be a mix of physical, non-physical and locationless geocaches so even if you are not in a geocache rich area, use the locationless component of scavenger series to get out, find something to log and gain points for your state. If you watch the scavenges as they are released you might also spot the 'not so hidden' patterns and plan for future weeks of the series.

Hiding geocaches will also be a large part of the scavenger series, but please remember this is a game of geocaching and geocaches that you hide should be long lasting, be of good quality and you should be proud of what you hide. Please avoid hiding a geocache just for the day so your state can find it before you archive it. Geocaches that exist for a short period of time may result in any claims on that geocache being disqualified. Play creatively, but also play fairly. More geocachers hiding more geocaches makes for more geocaching fun.

Jophiel is now hidden right by the gates to the local pony club, near a reserve that's just out of Burnie

After a DNF logged a while back we thought we'd better check this one and she was still there. Will move to a new location near some gnomes we found in the Hobart area

DNF after a good search with help from hint.
its not there (

Jophiel has moved north and is near a major highway waiting for her next move

Found one of our angels and will move her closer to home

Out

Found on a wander around Kingston / fern tree area

Down south on a caching trip with Carlin&sondra and thought it time to drop off Jophiel . She is hiding under a bridge out of the weather listening to all the bikes & runners going across the bridge hoping one of them stops and takes her home.

TFTC back home in Tassie,over the jet lag with a bit of time on my hands between jobs. I saw there were a couple of moveable in Trevallyn so thought I might go for a drive and pick them up. Found quickly and so now off to find the other moveable Flat Frog. Off down the north west coast soon so Jophiel will come along for the ride and might hop off if he finds somewhere suitable.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Jophiel found an ideal spot to test out her wings, but then thought better as the risk of being spotted by "flying muggles" was just too great. So she flitted down the road where the view was better but still had to hide from prying eyes.

A weeping angel indeed. Or is it that she wishes to see no evil from what is going on around her? As if by magic, this angel morphed into a rather determined looking gnome before our very eyes. Or rather, to keep things "in the family" as it were , Jophiel & Trevor performed a little tribal dance of re-unitement around GZ but when the music stopped the angel had flown. !

When we picked up Jophiel, she was crying because her poor little feet were blue from being in the snow. So we brought to tropical northern Tasmania and released her at the entrance to our home town.

Found and will move north when we return on Friday.

On a big bend off the Southern Outlet

Jophiel should be safer in this reserve with three moveable friends nearby

Saw a notice in the local paper saying that work on replacing/expanding the transmission towers at Round Hill was about to get underway so thought we should rescue Jophiel. She was safe but the tree referred to in the hint had been removed and several trees nearby had been marked for removal as well. Just in time!

Jophiel has flown to the top of Round Hill.

This is a great cache, a real weeping angel, so sweet and yet those little arms probably reaching for my back when I'm not looking... Thank you sharnie's tribe!
