Logs
Reading previous logs for this moveable indicates that the cache may still be in location, just sitting there waiting to be found. So, if any cachers are in the area, or simply passing through, why not stop by and help it on its way again.....
Great hidden gem - I used to live right near here and never knew it existed until today!
Unfortunately didn't have tools to remove for relocation.

Sent packing out East today good luck in your travels Mushy
I noticed a few moveables had been dropped off here.
Decided to detour on my way home for a ick up.
Wow can't believe how dark it is getting earlier.
Anyway got here just on dusk.
This spot has changed so much in a few years.
Once this spot was like stopping on a country road.
Today a train roars past and a sign only a few 100m away is advertising a servo and McDonalds outlet.
Such is progress!!
The moveables here were a quick find.
Will move on soon.

Moved to Inverloch for Boxing Day
Off to Sydney for a work Christmas party day-trip and I arrived near Melbourne Airport with a whole hour to spare. Happy to geocache my way around Keilor, this was a moveable I came across. TFTF FelixII!
Moved this cache along and it's now ready to be found. Thanks for attending the Meet the Moveable event and hope your travels are safe and far.
Headed down to Melbourne for the Meet the Moveables event at Brimbank Park, where this moveable, along with about 120 other were found. A good turn out at the event and everyone seem to have a lot fun talking about all things caching while finding the moveables and getting a start on the Journey or Destination summer game. A good couple of hours were spent in the area before witching hour rolled around and it was time to head back up the highway towards home. T'was an uneventful trip and with the number of moveable on offer, was certainly worth the drive.
Thanks for the moveable.....

A quick pickup of moveables today for a secret meeting to take place in just a little while. Your geocache would ike to join the secret activities so it may not move for a little while but it will be safe and sound and will be moved along (and hopefully logged quite a bit) in the not too distance future.
Took nothing, left nothing.

One of the many moveables that we could not find today

Time for a muster of some of the (older) moveables in Canberra. This one is now in my hands and heading off to Melbourne to find a new home and hopefully found a few more times.
Decide to head out to do some caches while taking the kids for a drive before head to the shops.
found on a quick pick up to a usual spot. will move on with others soon!

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.

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

After a trip along the Hume Highway, Mushy and his mates are now enjoying some sight seeing in the nation's capital
#GA2046 - 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! TFTC FelixII

Dropped off after a long week in the boot of my car. Ready to be found again.
Thanks for playing the game so others can enjoy.

Another DNF on another moveable. I suspect there has been a round up before we got here and the logs are yet to materialise

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.

Mushy sailed Bass Strait with us last night. He was keen to get out and explore his new environment. So he was placed in a new home today - hopefully only a temporary placement.
Mushy 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 Mushy will head north to Melbourne on the Spirit Of Tasmania where, hopefully, he will move more frequently.
Certainly had no intention of caching today until looking at the maps and spotting three amigo gnomes at
Fernglade Reserve.
Found this one quite quick.....many thanks for putting these out...cheers sirius.

Mushy Gegnome is back out in a reserve not far from Burnie. The reserve is currently closed to vehicle access but Mushy is hidden near the gates so you won't have to walk far
A quick find in the rain with the aid of accurate coordinates. Surprised to find two gnomes instead of the one we were looking for! Bonus gnome Sweeper hidden in the same spot. TFTC
back out with a mate near other mates down the road that are waiting to be collected eg Big Nev and his friend
Collected on the way home after visiting the supermarket. You escaped me earlier today, but I have you now! Blah ha ha ha!
It's a bit dry to find any fungi here at the moment, but Mushy was keen to look.
This seemed a nice cool place to nap on a warm day.
Handed this cache and others on to a friend 'cos of post-operative "blues" and he is gonna hide them
Thanks Budge
Cheers OldSaint.

Apologies Felix. Seems to have been a mix-up with this gnome and we're a week late logging the move. Friesianess found him, then I got my hands on him later in the day and moved him on. We seem to be missing some logs in the middle but I'll get his current location updated so he can keep racing.
Found in a nice easy spot by the west Tamar highway.

A rapid pick up and drop off just down the road.. May you travel far and often...
Found just lounging around near Cormiston Creek.. Enjoy your journey bloke...

Mushy is now on the move and should be able to be found as a quick drive by.
Mushy was found safely tucked away from view and was anxious to start moving so is heading to more active areas.
Thanks FelixII for another moveable.
