Dropped this off on the way into the ACT to move it on it's way.

Was stuck for a while due to the holder not doing too much travelling lately.

The tub at the drop off point was broken and damp inside so will need to be replaced (we left the TB's in a plastic bag).

With a day off and an event in ‘The Rock’ plus pre-geocaching lead to a great day out. I also got a FTF on the cache ‘Break the Drive – Urana’ (GA12529). Big Grin I started out with collecting the finds around Urana which included the most disgusting cache I have ever found (GC3BDFX). [xx(]Twisted[xx(]Twisted I completely disapprove of that cache and hope to never see a hide like that ever again. [xx(]Twisted[xx(]Twisted I visited a few different spots around and I enjoyed the ‘Leap year 2020 at The Rock’ event hosted by B&MG. A great BBQ and many geo-conversations were had by all. There were also many GCA moveable caches signed while we were there. TB visit on all caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found and for allowing them to bring joy to me and the rest of the caching community. Big Grin TFTE and TFTC’s Big Grin

Travelling from Cootamundra to Wagga today via roads less travelled. Along the way we picked up three moveables that we'll now take on a bit of a road trip with us. TFTC
 
 
24-Jul-19
With a day off in hand, I decided on attempting to make the FTF on the new cache out in Ladysmith just east of Wagga. It did become a FTF! Big Grin This also gave me an opportunity to start collecting the clues for the new promotion, ‘Mystery at the Museum’. Yes, I know I am starting it a bit late but better late than never. Wink Anyway, I made 5 finds today which most have been on the to-find-list for quite time, three GC and two GCA. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found today and for allowing them to bring them enjoyment to me today. TFTC’s

P.S. The cache has been left at above coordinates for the next finder to move on.

Reading previous logs, this moveable may still be in location OR may have been found, removed and not relocated yet. We know moveables can sometimes be forgotten / missed / left in the bottom of a caching bag, so a check has been undertaken on this one.

An update will be posted within 28 days….

#GA3580 - 13:20; Day 4 of a long planned mission to South East Queensland with Sol de lune and after a couple of days in and around Nanango and the wider South Burnett area, it was time to head back towards Brisbane, then home later on Tuesday. After a whirlwind tour de Toowoomba, we were back on the highway and down the hill headed east through Gatton and on to Ipswich. Took a detour to grab a few moveables in the area, including this one, which is now headed south. TFTC AusTrackers Very HappyClan Cerberus
 
18-Mar-19
Day 4 of a 5 day caching run around south east Queensland with LuckyL10n.

After leaving Nanango we headed for Brisbane via Toowoomba and stopped to grab to the GCA caches that were in the area of travels. Once in the park of this GZ, the cache was found and is now on its way to Brisbane for a flight back to Nations Capital.

Thanks AusTrackers...will relocate soon.
 
A quick find while in this park left here as per previous cacher
 
12-Mar-19
This little park is only 750m from my home so I went for a stroll to check out the little group of movable caches that have been dropped here.

After a rough start at the first cache and then a DNF at the next I headed to this one and spotted a likely hide as I approached and located the cache hiding there.

I left the cache where it was as there is no race for the cache.
 
All good to go again...

Sorry about the delay in placing this moveable cache in a new location.
 
A review of this moveable shows the cache may have been collected from its currently listed co-ords, however it has not been relocated. The previous finder was contacted regarding the cache however it has not been re-located. As a result, we are archiving the cache to stop cachers looking for a cache that is obviously not at the listed co-ords. This is also done to keep the Geocaching Australia database clean and up to date,

If the cache owner can confirm that the cache has be relocated, they can post an unarchive log and the cache will be back in the game.
 
Reading previous logs, this moveable may have been found, removed and not relocated yet. We know moveables can sometimes be forgotten / missed / left in the bottom of a caching bag, so a check has been undertaken to determine its location.

According to Wikipedia...
A sword is a bladed weapon intended for slashing or thrusting that is longer than a knife or dagger. The precise definition of the term varies with the historical epoch or the geographical region under consideration. A sword consists of a long blade attached to a hilt. The blade can be straight or curved. Thrusting swords have a pointed tip on the blade, and tend to be straighter; slashing swords have sharpened cutting edge on one or both sides of the blade, and are more likely to be curved. Many swords are designed for both thrusting and slashing.
Historically, the sword developed in the Bronze Age, evolving from the dagger; the earliest specimens date to about 1600 BC. The later Iron Age sword remained fairly short and without a crossguard. The spatha, as it developed in the Late Roman army, became the predecessor of the European sword of the Middle Ages, at first adopted as the Migration period sword, and only in the High Middle Ages, developed into the classical arming sword with crossguard. The word sword continues the Old English, sweord.
The use of a sword is known as swordsmanship or (in an early modern or modern context) as fencing. In the Early Modern period, western sword design diverged into roughly two forms, the thrusting swords and the sabers.
The thrusting swords such as the rapier and eventually the smallsword were designed to impale their targets quickly and inflict deep stab wounds. Their long and straight yet light and well balanced design made them highly maneuverable and deadly in a duel but fairly ineffective when used in a slashing or chopping motion. A well aimed lunge and thrust could end a fight in seconds with just the sword's point, leading to the development of a fighting style which closely resembles modern fencing.
The saber (sabre) and similar blades such as the cutlass were built more heavily and were more typically used in warfare. Built for slashing and chopping at multiple enemies, often from horseback, the saber's long curved blade and slightly forward weight balance gave it a deadly character all its own on the battlefield. Most sabers also had sharp points and double edged blades, making them capable of piercing soldier after soldier in a cavalry charge. Sabers continued to see battlefield use until the early 20th century. The US Navy kept tens of thousands of sturdy cutlasses in their armory well into World War II and many were issued to marines in the Pacific as jungle machetes.
Non-European weapons called "sword" include single-edged weapons such as the Middle Eastern scimitar, the Chinese dao and the related Japanese katana. The Chinese jian is an example of a non-European double-edged sword, like the European models derived from the double-edged Iron Age sword.
