This moveable could still be location. If any cacher stops by, we're sure it would like to be moved on....

Out with the family doing a small run along the coast. Whilst in the area walked in to find this moveable which has been here for a while.

Thanks for the cache.

Moved to this spot after doing some newish GC caches in the area.

I was being looked after by Chwiliwr and the better half for the day at their place and whilst there saw a whole big group of moveable caches that were being organised for a move somewhere by my grandparents so played with them for a bit before they were packed up. (Those that were not too fragile to be played with.)

Thanks for the cache.

Chwiliwr, Gwiber and I went on a trip south to collect some moveables and move some other around a bit.

This was one of the ones that were just moved around. Now in my hands.

Was visiting my sister nearby at Wellington Mill and made the trip up the road to Gnomesville to find this moveable. Was only able to find it by referencing the information and image in the last log as the coordinates were not accurate.

Thanks for the cache.

Moved south-west to massive gnome Christmas party.

In my hands once again off for new adventure.

Enjoying a rest in the bush.

After the event, this motley crew followed me home. As you can see, they are deep in discussion about the next great hiding place and will be out in the wild again soon.

Found today at the Moveable and Mystery Madness event.
Thanks to all the cachers who brought all these moveables along.

Attended the very enjoyable GCA Moveable & Mystery Madness event (GA10647) in Whiteman Park today with Chwiliwr and Gwawr. We found this cache with all the other moveable caches that were brought to the event by the various GCA cachers in attendence. There were also a couple found not actually at the event.

Discovered 'Goldie' at the Moveable & Mystery Madness Event held in Whiteman Park. The forecast was for rain but we were blessed with good weather for the day. A small but dedicated group of geocachers and a couple of new faces attended and exchanged stories of caches found and missed. Many thanks Tuena for the cache.

Attending "Moveable & Mystery Madness" event GA10647

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.

Now in my safe hands
Nice way to end a beautiful day caching in the Blue Mountains; visiting from Perth WA.
I now know what a 'ground anchor' is, per hint at this location.

I am sorry it has taken so long to move Goldie on, he escaped from me and has spent the last 6 months touring the tunnels at work studying ground supports and tunneling techniques.
I have left him on the side of the Great Western Highway as he wished to examine the bolts on Lapstone Hill holding back the Blue mountains from swallowing up the Sydney Basin.

please note that there is no parking at the GZ.
If you are traveling East you will need to park at the start of the old highway walking path and walk up the hill.
If you are traveling west you can park near the Water tank at the top of Explorers Drive and walk down the hill.

come with me Goldie to meet a super nemed Goldie

Goldie has moved down the mountains and found this nice little hole to hide in.

Welcome back to Lithgow, now where to take you next?

Golden leapt off the bus at Blackheath, glowing with mountain health.

Hitched a ride on the west-bound geobus. See ya!

Now the rain has stopped it's time to get these ones back on the road again, this time in the northern suburbs. This one is in the regular spot.

Another one grabbed on a Rookwood run this morning, time to move north a bit. Thanks Tuena.

Moved to an old favorite spot, I had in mind to go further but This is as far as I could go due to the stifling heat.

return to headquarters for new instructions, transport will be organized soon.

Sorry for holding this one for too long - was in territory I couldn't drop it off. Now hidden in Parramatta Park in a cluster of five gnomes - three small ones in the hollow log and two larger ones under some leaves between logs neaby under the trees.

Dropped by expecting a Hardy Boys mystery instead I was confronted with a Yurt mystery - The Case of the Disappearing Gnome. However substitution had taken place and I removed a large gold (pure gold!) object-like gnome. No log so my next move will be the proof I guess. Stay tuned.

Swapped for his overweight twin.

Another blindingly bright gnolden gnome. Hard to camo these guys. Grabbed and moving on. TftG Tuena.

Goldie has moved on, and is now hiding arborally!

Wow! Another gnome close to home!
