found

Out on a trip south of Wellington Mill picking up more moveable caches and checking on my cache near Nannup.

As we picked up a moveable we dropped off another one in the same spot.

Found in the hands of Gwiber.
Thanks for the cache.

dropping off in some local bushland

Found notepad and pencil only, added small item.

out with hhheddy collecting some smiles on an overcast afternoon.

Had a day off work to get some chores done around the house so ended up with the afternoon free. Came up to whiteman Park to fins a few solved puzzles and noticed that this moveable was nearby and was as yet unfound by me. Had a nice little surprise when there was a couple of extra caches hidden in the same spot, triple bonus! Have picked this cache up and will drop off in a new location.

Back out in the wilds

With the State of the Nations game underway I've been looking around for GCA caches to find.

Quick find here. Will re-hide soon. TFTC.

This one has been travelling around with me in my car for way too long, but I just haven't had the chance to drop it anywhere. Luckily an opportunity presented tonight at my doorstep so I took it! Safe travels!

Woohoo!! The second of 5 moveables that I've looked for today that I've actually found! I'll move this little guy on to a new location soon.

Thanks for the cache rogerw3!

Hiding within Whiteman Park, at above coords, ready for upcoming event.

Planning for this trip began in June - we knew we would be heading to Adelaide but which way would we go? This depended on our targets. We looked at our list of unclaimed Dragon Zone trophies and picked out several that we could feasibly collect the required number of finds to qualify for the trophy. We then had to identify caches that would meet our targets and from here it was time to plan a route that would take us past the caches we had identified. Any caches too far off our route were discarded and replaced by suitable alternatives.

All was running smoothly until the Christmas in July game was announced. We would be travelling in the latter part of the game. It was difficult to include this in our target caches as we did not know what was required. Once the game began and we understood what we needed to do we could then add other caches to the target list.

We were just getting our heads, yes all four of them, around this when more Dragon Zone trophies were added. Which ones could we meet and which should we ignore? Do we need to add more GA caches and/or do we need to change our route and our targets? We decided on our target list and then our route and timeline. We had just drawn a line under everything and were about to begin printing our caching booklets, route maps and target lists when caught@work published 23 new caches on the Western Ring Path. Earlier we had decided on the caches in the Edgewater Walk series. If we added the new ones on the Western Ring Path and as many of the CCC series as possible, we could probably reach the required number of caches to qualify for the Dragon Zone trophies “Restraining Order Stalker” (Find 100 DZ caches hidden by the same cacher) and “Obsession!=Insanity” (find 50 DZ caches in a day). As the latter would give us our first Blaze Trophy, it was decided to alter everything to include the CCC series.Four Fun, in South Australia published five puzzle caches that would bring good points in the Christmas in July game. Can we solve the puzzles? A few more adjustments to the route and the caches to find list and we would be off.

Having successfully completed our Melbourne challenges and gained our first Blaze Dragon Zone trophy it was time to focus on the Christmas in July game. We started on the Kenneth Stirling Conservation Park puzzle caches recently published by Four-Fun. With Four-Fun's puzzles found, several of J_&_J's puzzles found and the Christmas in July game over it was time to focus on completing the requirements for a few more Dragon Zone Trophies.

When we knew that there was a possibility that we would have a break from grand parent duties we had planned this slight detour so that we could find both GA and GC caches that would meet the requirements for several Dragon Zone trophies and several GC challenge caches in several states. As we had already visited all states and territories except Western Australia this year it was time for us to hop on a plane and head for Perth, Western Australia.

When we were at home we had noticed that Lazarus68 had been collecting moveable caches during a recent visit to the eastern states. We wondered if Lazarus would be back in the west by the time we visited and if we would have an opportunity to find the moveables that were in his care. So, we contacted Lazarus and the stars did align. We made arrangements to visit and we were able to log finds on quite a few moveable caches. Many thanks Lazarus68 for making these caches available for our visit. In turn, we left another ten moveables in the area which are also now in the care of Lazarus68.

In my safe hands. Soon off to Perth.

I was not too far away from here when Richary logged the move and seeing how the spot was a tad familiar I decided to give it on my way home. That's saved me a detour in the city tomorrow to grab a small sized cache for the summer scavenger series! Left in place, cheers Rog!

Took this one down to Sydney and put him where there was a frog waiting in case anybody else came along. Cheers.

A bit hard to look subtle here, as I was walking to the hide an ambulance pulled up opposite to tend to some poor guy who seemed to have collapsed and was being looked after by house holders. Luckily it doesn't matter too much with moveables and the ambulance was perfectly placed to hide my search. Found fairly quickly and moved back to Sydney. Thanks rogerw3.

Drag On came with us today on a cache hiding trip but when he heard we were going on the ferry, pulled out here

I couldn't let this cache linger here for too long - someone else would be certain to grab it!

Finally found a nice place for this cache to move to with water views.

This one has now moved to a new resting place.

Got you you sneaky little thing, now what to do with you.

Moving to the Spring Caching in the Bluies Event. Don't look before tomorrow.

14 months unfound, that' s a lot of unclaimed love. And a bonus find. This did not show up on my GPS , I found it with the little Yellow Digger. 2 for the price of 1. Taken .... be back out soon.

Out and about in Sydney...and now down in Sutherland...and this area is cool. Lots of rocks to hop over and many many places to hide a cache....so I did.......and actually there are two of them. GA5287 is the other one.

Hint has been updated, but check the spoiler photos as well...it will help.

Hope you like the area....

I was happy to get a chance see fourteen moveables in one go today, and they even moved to where I was to be signed.

Thanks

GCA 1114 - 10897. 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.

A drive by moveable! Yes, I found them when they virtually drove by.
Many thanks to LuckyL10n.

Love it when the show up to work thanks all

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found this in the hands of LuckyL10n. Hmm I'd have preferred to find it in the wilds. Not so difficult this way. Somewhat ordinary container compared to a lot of the other moveable caches I've done over recent times. Nevertheless, it knocks another cache off the list.

This one visited my desk today - thank you LuckyL10n

#G586 - 16:00; This one miraculously appeared in the ACT, so what was I to do? Pick it up and run with it of course. I'll drop it off a little further north soon. TFTC rogerw3

Finally dropped off...but cache was collected and has moved on already......

Found whilst munching on my bi-annual steak at the CSCC. It really helped that Sol stuck it under my nose. I'm sure I'll get the hang of this soon

Saw this moveable today at the event.

TFTC rogerw3,
Signed the log at the Winter Solstace Event. My first GA moveable.

Found and signed while enjoying lunch almost atop of Dargan Arch with a few others hardy souls. I now have the cache and will relocate it in a Cerberus strong hold so we can at least take control of one of the five.


Thanks roger3w...
