Had a good look but couldn't spot it. The grass is very long at the moment so maybe that didn't help....

Forgot to add a photo of the undamaged cache . Thanks for reactivating.

Back in play

Hi Geocaching Australia, as noted in my found log, this cache IS there and is in excellent condition. I can't seem to work out how to reactivate it??? How does one do it???
Regards.

Found, but couldn't really move it today. Not sure what is happening with this listing, but the cache is DEFINITELY at S35° 15.176' E149° 1.966' , in the Pinnacle nature reserve. It's there! (No dragon thingy in it though).

I found this cache quite by accident when looking for the nearby (2m away) geocaching.com cache. The cache & logbook are in good condition.

This moveable cache has been with the previous finder for 12 months and has not been relocated. To avoid cachers searching for a cache that is not at the posted co-ords, we will archive it.

If the cache appears again, the listing can simply be reinstated...

I took the caches a little while ago (sorry!) and didn't like the idea of them being such a huge bag all together in one spot (looked a bit like garbage when I found them near Hall). So I fetched a plan to put them out more dispersed some places in nature and so over summer. Now getting around to log them.

Again I am very sorry for anyone (mainly andrewbt I think) who went looking in vain. I am often a bit behind logging but not that much, there were just overwhelmingly many in that bag.

It's not gone - learned today it'll be put out shortly!

Came up to grab the caches here and move them along - appears to have already been done?

put out on a lovely walk on a warm day in the pinnacles.

Whilst I was heading out to ac caching run along the chocolate road, I stopped past a familiar spot and sopped of a small collection of moveables for someone else to be able to visit as they leave or arrive in the ACT.

Thanks
Albida

I took the chance to visit a well known GCA pickup point and located a nice haul of moveable caches. I hope to put these out again tomorrow.

Thanks
Albida

Down and already gone....

Spotted this one in the hands of another local cacher and managed to sign before I leave for warmer climes. TFTC Fluffyfish.

Found a whole pile of lovely GA caches when I met ParisLaura!
As soon as Black Bunny has seen them, we will set them free in the ACT.

Just a cacher met me today in the city for a chat and moveable swap. This one was passed on and headed for its next adventure.

A collection of GCA caches made their way to the lovely Mawson Lakes in South Australia and were hidden all in wonderful spots around lakes and parks. I had a lovely afternoon out picking up some GCAs with Mr 10 year old, and also putting out some more.

I have taken this cache today with the intention to move it along again soon.

DZ Minotaur has found a spot out of view of passing muggles to wait for its next movek

After over a month unfound this cache will be on the move again soon

Out and about on a fairly warm afternoon for Tassie and found a sheltered spot for this moveable cache to hide out while it waits for the next team to come along

Found on the second attempt, inappropriate footwear defeated us the first time but better prepared this time and made a quick find. We'll move this one towards the north west of the state. TFTC

Back out

Found on a caching trip to the coast.

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.

Thanks for the moveable fluffyfish. Headed out for a walk tonight with the GeoGSP on a lovely warm still summer evening. Dropped by this spot and nabbed this moveable to take for a little drive. He will be back out again soon.

dZ Minotaur went for a drive to the Huon, missed out on cherries (orchard not yet open) but scored some raspberries. Left as a surprise near the shed.

This fine summer's evening attended geocaching australia event: The Moveables are Here!!, graciously hosted by Tassie Trekkers. Was fortunate to make it to the event as was not working and I only noted that it was going to be held on the previous evening - almost missed it. So many moveables in the one spot, roughly 150 in attendance. Nothing for it but to record a couple of notebook pages full of numbers. This the second time I have come upon minotaur in the last couple of weeks.. thanks..!!

Wanted to move these moveable caches on quickly to give someone else a chance to find them during the x5 points time period. Happy travels

Out and about caching on a beautiful autumn day when we found a group of moveables that need to see a bit more of Tassie, will try to get these out again today. TFTC

After spending time catching up with DZ Griffin DZ Minotaur is spending some time enjoying the autumn sun while waiting for its next move.

DZ Minotaur was found lurking close to some other moveables in Kennsington Park. We will have to move it to an area where it will be able to return to Minotaur control

Have moved this one on.

Found this nice large geocache today on an evening out hunting GCA moveables today with my kids. Will add a bit more swag to it and move it along soon to keep its journey going. TFTC

According to Wikipedia...
Whiteman Park is a 4,000-hectare (9,900-acre; 15 sq mi) bushland area located 22 km (14 mi) north of Perth, Western Australia. The park is in the suburb of Whiteman, in the Swan Valley in the upper reaches of the Swan River. It encompasses the source of Bennett Brook - an important nyoongar location, and source of mythology of the Wagyl and stories about aboriginal occupancy of the area. Whiteman Park is known for its biodiversity, including over 450 endemic plants and more than 120 vertebrate animals (some of which are rare and endangered). Over 17% of Western Australian bird species occur in Whiteman Park, including migratory birds attracted to the habitat provided by Bennett Brook and associated wetlands including Grogan's Swamp, a Conservation Category Wetland. The state government purchased the land from a variety of private owners in 1978, to protect the underlying aquifer as a drinking water source for Perth. The major owner was Lew Whiteman (1903–1994), after whom the park is named.
Whiteman Park includes bushwalking trails, bike paths, sports facilities and playgrounds. The park is also host to heritage transport groups and their collections: The Perth Electric Tramway Society runs a 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) electric tram journey around the park, running a tram that used to be in service on the Fremantle network. Caversham Wildlife Park; Bennett Brook Railway; The Tractor Museum of Western Australia; The Western Australian Motor Museum; Bus Preservation Society of Western Australia; and Revolutions Transport Museum.

It's alive! Thanks hheddy.

I think this one can be put back into circulation. Was out in the area with Lazarus finding a nearby trig when we passed on the way home. Stopped off and had a look around and quickly located the cache. This was the second one placed out this way I picked up. The coordinates were out by about 23m and was located closer to the track than the posted coordinates. We found out a similar discrepancy with the other moveable located earlier on in the day and this helped narrow down the search area for dZ Minotaur. The cache is currently in my hands and I can place it back into the wild when it's unarchived.

Rated: for Overall Experience

It was large enough not to be easily missed. So assuming it has been muggled.

We also could not understand what 'ledge' meant. Our GZ was clear of even logs but we search all those around it for about 30m but couldn't find anything.

Rated: for Overall Experience

I was out this way today and on the way home I spotted this cache, and I'm always keen to pick up a moveable, so I detoured off the highway to come in here. Unfortunately I couldn't find it. The area had quite a lot of fallen logs and trees, so I checked all of these in quite a large radius. I didn't really find a lot of things that matched the hint, but possibly the hider meant under a log or part of a log?

Anyway, I hope this one is still safe, or someone else has picked it up.

Lovely day for a walk in the fresh air!
