Moved to the GCA event (GA19402) and last seen being taken by 'Just A Cacher' and 'Black Bunny'.

I know I was only in Canberra earlier in the week for caching but this time is for another reason… a geo-event! Big Grin (GA19402 & GC8T8JZ) This means that for a couple of us, it turned into two events as I hosted a GCA event about lunch time. My event was nice and small with only a few attendees but still great. Afterwards, I went with some others to find some other nearby caches. Next, it was time to check into my motel and have a rest before heading out for more caching and the next event. TB visit on all caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I have found and for allowing them to bring me and others enjoyments. Big Grin TFTE’s & TFTC’s Big Grin

With the country going into lockdown & meat / chicken / rice & dunny paper in short supply I figured it was time to go for a caching run & drop of some movables & complete some caches, needed to clear my head as job insecurity is of real concern & I had enough of the bullshit – so cache on – a nice short detour from highway – 5 off in this hidey hole S34 52.374 E148 14.118 to S34 52.375 E148 14.117 to S34 52.376 E148 14.118

The faceless Sweeper moved down the road just a little bit. He couldn't see to go too far. He's keeping a moving succulent (Fly West) company. Hopefully he hitches a ride with someone soon!
 
29-Dec-18
Found this faceless one not far from home, so decided to pick him up and help him on his journeys! He's quite happy, as he has a movable dinosaur to keep him company.

Took Sweeper for Christmas at The Channon. He seemed to enjoy himself though it was hard to tell with no face to put expressions on. Anyway he decided to stay. Dropped him off near a crossroads.... Lismore, The Channon, Nimbin... we may never see this gnome again................................ Laughing
 
23-Dec-18
Sweeper seemed to be enjoying his rabbity hide; he appeared to have giggled himself over but apart from that was in fine I'm a Gnome, duh! form. But 'tis the season for sharing so we've picked him up to spread some GeGnome joy around with geocachers up north. Very Happy TFTM FelixII and Merry Christmas.

Not sure how well a faceless gnome can fend for itself with rabbits... hopefully well as this hide looks distinctly like a squat. Anxious Still, a nice safe hide to watch the world go by... at least the world that passes by on the New England Highway. A quick grab with good off road parking for all size vehicles.
 
23-Nov-18
Didn't take the GPS last time we stopped, thought the hint would be enough . . . . and it would have been if we'd looked on the other side of the road as well. Had a preconceived idea it would be on the side with the parking (and where the car tracks led up to the guardrail on that side). Wrong preconceived idea. Doh Today we were on a return trip and tried the other side Very Happy and of course Sweeper GeGnome was there. Picked up ...... crikey! this guy's been through hard times. Is this what they mean when they say you're off your face ?? TFTM FelixII, will relocate soon.
 
17-Nov-18
Not sure re tracks to GZ. It's a guard rail on the side of the road?
 
13-Nov-18
Could see some tracks to GZ so think this may have been picked up. Hope it was as we couldn't find anything there.

Out with Jac tonight so decided to grab a cache or two while we were in the area.

Thanks for the cache.
 
As part of Geocaching Australia's effort to keep the database uncluttered we periodically check moveable caches that have not been moved for at least 90 days. Although some caches may remain in one spot for an extended period it would be great to see them moving around the countryside.

If you're in the area how about picking up this moveable cache and helping it on it's journey.

Dropped by to say hello. Goldenwattle picked up two and we left the others to party on. TFTC.

Quite a party going on here with a mob of gnomes. I picked up two moveables, but left this gnome behind to party on. TFTC FelixII.

I have had these at home for a few weeks now, so Having put them in the car on Friday, it was long past time to get them out again. Whilst out caching this morning I saw a spot to put them out for another cacher to find.

Thanks

A few new moveables in town and managed to head out and grab them. This poor little guy isn't looking that good with a couple of pieces missing. Can't do much to help him out but certainly still able to move him around.

Thanks Felix11...will drop him off soon.

#GA2050 - 14:20; In Melbourne with the geohoney for a few days to visit the geoteen, who had lectures today, so we headed off to Maribyrnong as it had two things going for it, retail therapy and caching! After completing the Edgewater trail, I checked in with the geohoney, who was still happy to shop, so I was off to see if I could collect a posse of moveables further up the road. I had DNF'd this moveable on my last visit to Melbourne, but this time around it seems to have stayed put for a while with some mates, so I headed over in anticipation of a quick find today. Closed in on GZ and found the whole bunch I'd DNF'd before and which are all now headed for a tour of the nation's capital! I thought I'd seen this one before, but it seems it was only a close relative Whistle TFTC FelixII Very HappyClan Cerberus

A quick find here today on a walk exclusively to find some Geocaching Australia geocaches for the Christmas in July game. This was an easy enoug geocache to find, after all there aren't many places to search at GZ, just a few of which the geocache easily revealed.
This litte geocache will be moved along in the next week or so to keep this little guy heading along the road.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for hiding this geocache originally. I hope it travels far and wide and may it live a long and enjoyable travelling life.

Sweeper has been cooped up with Dismal for over twelve months - that is certainly time with hard labour. Certainly time to head elsewhere. Early next week Sweeper will head north to Melbourne on the Spirit Of Tasmania where, hopefully, he will move more frequently.
