Description

A Lunar Eclipse is when the Earth blocks out the sun partially or fully causing a shadow on some or all of the Moon. This sometimes turns the Moon red and is referred to as a 'Blood Moon'. 

The next five Lunar Eclipses for SE Australia are due on the following dates: 4 April 2015, 23 March 2016, 16 September 2016, 7 August 2017 and 31 January 2018.

By the name of this cache you can probably tell that it is an eclipse tin. It contains a log book, pencil and a few swaps. Please pick it up and place it somewhere else within 5 days. 

Happy caching!

Close to the coal jetties & near one of three impressive Groundspeak caches, the others on your way. Ignore the sign about no entry as public can now drive to locked gate which is where you park. Beware of snakes, green & black ants. A bunch of 'em.

Very Happy I could say I found Lunar Eclipse, but in reality, it's probably a comme ci comme ca. It was pretty funny chasing movable gnomes I'm a Gnome, duh! , angels Don't Blink, frogs RibbitRibbit etc down the freeway only to catch them and be plucking them from their hide'y hole and bursting at the seams carrying Whistle these wiggly giggly thingys back to a box in your mobile and clutching onto them almost for dear life. The whole look is hilarious. An enormous Thank You Clapping to Just a Cacher and Black Bunny for finding Lunar Eclipse and dropping him off. Thank you Ryan00 for sharing Lunar Eclipse.

Feeling really cranky, you travel all this this way to collect caches and people don't log that they have taken them, or they've had them in their possession for months. Brick WallBrick Wall No consideration. Ruins the game!!! and it's unfair. ..... i'm just cranky because there are supposed to be 86 movables in the ACT to date and I can't access the majority of them and I'm fining this to be the case most of the time. Right or wrong from what I can see I can see why cachers don't bother too much about Geocaching Australia caches.

The mad bunnies ride again! After work, in the dark, a drive all the way to Mittagong to collect gnomes and other movables. At least it was worth the trip. We came home with 11 movables, many of which we hadn't met met before. Very HappyRibbitDon't BlinkI'm a Gnome, duh!

Thanks

GCA 1108 - 10891. Found in the hands of Sol de Lune.

Nice to grab such a selection of moveables in one hit. Glad to see these still moving around.

TFTC !!

I find that the moveables are a great addition to geocaching. The fun of chasing them around - sometimes finding them in place - sometimes not - puts a bit more interest on the Geocaching Australia side of things. These games also tend to boost the numbers of moveables around - especially in December and January - perfect time to spend a bit more time caching away in Summer and / or holidays. My favourites tend to be the Gnomes - memories of a misspent childhood come to mind.... Lol.

Passed to me temporarily by LuckyL10n to find. I'll be passing back shortly for it to be hidden. Again I can see the eclipse resemblance and I suppose the darkness from the lunar. But the item is a little ordinary.

Found in the hands of Sol de Lune. Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

#GA619 - 11:30; Picked this cache up today as part of a prisoner exchange with Sol de lune. It might get to tour the ACT for a bit before moving on I reckon. TFTC Ryan00 Very HappyClan Cerberus

Leave on the table for next finder to move it.
thanks

Grabbed from today's event and will relocate shortly.....

Thanks again Ryan00

Found this cache (discovered and not moved) today at a cold and wet pathtags/trackables event in Brimbank park - I think the caches might have outnumbered the cachers!
 
12-Jul-15
Spotted at the Pathtags, Geocoins, Moveable Caches, Travelbugs Swap Meet event (GA7283).
I was happy to add some GCA caches to the table and also left with a couple to move along.

Thanks for creating this cache so we can all play this great game. Clan Griffin

Spotted this one while at the GCA event. Great to see such a good selection of moveables, I left them on the table for others to find.

Moved 10.9km
NOTE: Cache will only be available at this location on 12th July 2015 which will coincide with the
Moved to Pathtags, Geocoins, Moveable Caches, Travelbugs Swap Meet.
Please don't go searching for it before the event as it won't be at these co-ordinates.

Logged with caughtatwork. He will move it along a bit later.
 
22-Jun-15
Picked up on the way home. Will be holding on to the cache for a little while until the swap meet in July. At that point I hope it will get lots of logs and move on.

After a very long lunch across the river we dropped our fellow diners off at their home just up the road then had a walk in the scrub to log this cache.

Thanks, Ryan00, for the cache. And thanks to Sharnies Tribe for bringing in to Echuca.
