Hi sylken
After a night with little sleep, we left home early to catch up a great caching mate from the North West Coast
Moveables were exchanged, of which, this was one
Sainting the cache at 0845 hours
Sirius and I walked part of the Geilston Bay Track looking for caches along the way
It was great to see an cacher as experienced as he is at work - good experience
Thanks for sharing some time together this morning Sirius; greatly enjoyed and appreciated
TFTC and cheers

Gnorbert came with me for a drive to work in Heyfield and I saw a familiar place I've often considered hiding a cache when passing. A quick U-turn and he hopped off my ride.

A weekend with absolutely nowhere to be and nothing to do led Team Spider on a mission to Warragul to acquire new shoes for the eldest spiderling. Happily, this moveable was snugly lodged in Moe on our way and the rain paused just as we arrived at Edward Hunter Reserve. Down the path, stomping to scare off snakes (it really wasn't the weather, but any opportunity to teach the youngsters about long grass is welcomed!) and I inspected the wrong tree. Daddy Long Legs then spotted the correct tree and delved deep DEEP within to uncover Gnorbert. He rode with us to Warragul and is now hanging out at home in Traralgon until we strike the chance to hide him. TFTC sylken! I like his painted hat!

Back out

Our travels have bought us to Rosebud and we collected this moveable whilst in the area.

This cache has been found and logged by another cacher so is now available to find

Gnorbert still very much exists!
Found in Ikkibrady's cache "Chinaman's Treasure".
Unfortunately I am not in the business of moving gnomes, but the cache is a safe place for Gnorbert to stay.

A review of this moveable shows the cache has been collected from its currently listed co-ords, however it has not been relocated.

As this is now over 9 months ago, the cache is being archived to stop cachers looking for a cache that is obviously not at the listed co-ords.

This is also done to help keep the Geocaching Australia database clean and up to date.

If the cacher owner confirms that the cache has been relocated (by contacting the previous finder) the cache can be unarchived.

Quick grab as it was dropped of locally. Thanks c@w

Moved towards the end of the day finding some geocaches around the Rosebud area. These should all be easy enough to find, especially if you are a local who might own a geocache right at GZ.

Found by caughtatwork at 15:50 on 2/07/2017
Picked up Norbert with ease and he'll be off to new digs in a day or so.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for hiding this geocache for us to find here today.

In my hands

after his long trip he is now resting in the west in some nice bush in a burnt tree

found gnorbett stuffed with olives and he is really happy to be away from that tree and glad to be on the move again...probably a long trip this time

Gnorbert is now residing on a hill somewhere in the north-eastern suburbs.

It was a hot day, so to keep cool, Gnorbert crawled into a hollow tree trunk.

Gnorbert seems to love getting out into the garden, so we grabbed some photos of him exploring our backyard. Imagine his surprise when he met our resident house-gnome who could well be Gnorbert's long lost brother!

We needed to find a GCA cache today to claim our 'Celebration Day' dragonZone trophy, and this one fitted the bill perfectly. It also meets two current scavenge claims in the current caching competition, so it was a win-win situation!

We last visited this spot nearly eleven years ago when we logged the nearby Barry & Beryl cache. Always a great spot to re-visit. We had one large puddle to drive through, and the steep sections of track are a pleasure to drive on.

Finding the cache took longer than expected, but I eventually found the happy little fellow about 6 metres from where the arrow was pointing.

We'll bring him back to our house to celebrate Invasion Day and recuperate for a while before re-hiding soon.

Thanks sylken.

Hi SYLKEN
Found this gnome thinking it was "Gnome Baker" but looking at the number I realised that two gnomes must have been hidden together and I had found Gnorbert first, rather than the "Baker" which was the one I was actually looking for.
Sainted Gnorbert at 1210hrs.
