Description
Ceranic Gnome with pointed hat (red) holding watering can (25.5cm tall)
This gnome has a small cache container strapped to his legs, with log paper inside for you to sign.
Apologies, be wary of any glue not fully dried.
An entry in "GeGnome ][ Electric Boogaloo" where geocaching garden gnomes (known as GeGnomes) will race around the world accumulating finds, moves and distance in order for their owner to be crowned GeGnomic King or Queen. Game period: 01-Dec-2015 to 31-Jan-2016 23:59:59 AEST
Among the rules...
- You may find and move your own GeGnome during the game period.
- Caches must be found and hidden by the same geocacher (i.e. no mailing the GeGnome to another geocacher to hide).
- There is no limit to the number of times a geocacher can find / move the GeGnome provided there are at least two other finds / moves in between.
- If a geocacher moves your GeGnome overseas and it remains unfound overseas for 1 week or more, the GeGnome mover may move your GeGnome back to the country of origin without breaking the "2 moves" rule.
- There is no limit to the distance other geocachers can move the GeGnome.

We've had a few movables for way too long, so I went out for a drive and set them all free today.
I had travelled to Temora with Sol de Lune and Nibletricecakes where we discovered this moveable. TFTC

Saw and signed this cache at the event in south Canberra. Great event and even better to have some movable friends visit. Thanks for showing.
moving this one to an event to hopefully continue their travels.
I've been staying in Dubbo for a couple of weeks and today went out for a walk a bit further out of town. 3 gnomes that were travelling with me decided they wanted to take a rest in a little old resting place not far from a GC cache.
Will you look at that! An odd bunch of folk came and visit me at my camp site. I'm happy to pick them up and move them along, however, it could be a while before I'm allowed to go anywhere. Who knows.
Virtual move only so don't look here as will be picked up soon.
In town buying a bass reel so came this way & picked up 4 in total. Thanks for dropping them off.

Dropped off while on holiday with some mates who had come along for the ride
I saw that a group of moveables had been dropped in the Trevallyn reserve and so off I went in search of the collection of moveables. Quick find in a place I had searched before. I dropped off 2 moveables in the same place.
Moved this group of 9 moveables to the trevallyn dam area today while here searching for caches. all 9 have been placed together as i had forgot about them in the car untill we were about to leave. TFTC
Found this one this morning on a rainy morning on my way to work,
Will move this one on tomorrow while I’m Launceston TFTC

Dropped off before we left to catch the Spirit.
Found this dinosaur (refugee from the Northern Island) in the hands of a caching team that has recently returned from a raid on the big island. Will set it free to begin its tour of Tassie soon
This moveable cache has been travelling with us for long enough, time to see the sights in Tassie
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
I saw this trail of GCA caches appear about a month ago and have wanted to attempt it for quite a while. It ended up being a relaxing 3.5 hour drive around the country side. It’s nice to have a couple more GCA caches with a 
on them. I found a few different dinosaurs and other different types of hides. All caches found today were quick finds and were left at its current location for the next finder to move along. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found today and for allowing them to bring joy to me and the rest of the caching community. TFTC’s

Saw that someone had left these poor little defenseless creatures out in the bush in the dark, so we dashed off on a rescue mission. We will give them some counselling, and what medical aid they require, before releasing them into a more salubrious district.

One of twenty five at this location. All in a bag so find first & then head over to the others.
Thanks to Roger for this cache of moveables. I'll hide them in Wingello SF within the week.

For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath.
A moving cache, by nature, may have been moved since you last determined its location. It may have been picked up but not yet rehidden so it's considered 'in-transit'. There is no foolproof method of determining where a cache is simply by the log types that have been placed against the cache.

Attended the 'Australia Day Moveable Event 2018' and came face to face with other like minded cachers, one being another lucky (luckyl10n) and 101 moveables in the area. Many thanks to the CO's who have published them over time and others who bought them together for the event.

Called into Tizzana Winery to buy some wine and saw the moveables and the list. The family wanted to continue on so said "Hi" to a few we'd previously met then headed on with some wine. Diolch for the moveable. I didn't pick up any.

Headed up to attend the Meet the Moveables (NSW) event and this was one of the many many moveables in attendance. Great time was had by all and it was good to put faces to the names of those cachers I'd only seen in logs before.
Thanks for sharing this one....(and apologies for the late log)

Spotted at the moveables event at Ebenezer. At the end of the event found hitching a lift in companionship with a number of other moveables, offered to take them some where along the way so they hopped on board the dirty black juke. Thanks for sharing the moveables

What a great way to start the new year with a meet the movables event that saw 75 moveable caches and 10 geocacher caches in attendance. All was laid out so one could walk around the tables to sign each and every log before a swap occured to send them away again in a new direction.

Spotted at the pie shop in Weetagera on 28th July. Boy was it full of ants.
Dropped this one just over 12 months ago, but alas there has been no visits or further moves, so being in the area again today I've picked up the 'Water Boy' again and will move him to a new location soon-ish...
Hi Lazarus_68,
Grabbed this one to move a little further north to a warmer climate. Thought you'd ok with it going for a road trip.
Should be re-located in the next 2 weeks.

We placed him on sentry duty near a cache of ours. Lots of kangaroos around to also keep an eye on things!
It was a not so pleasant blackberry and spider web infested walk to find him, we decided to pick him up and take him home for a bit. Maybe the only way for him to make it back to WA is by post?

Moved into an area of exotic bushland, among flowers.
What a surprise to find no less than 13 moveable GA-s in one place (end of road guard). 
Including quite a 'donsy' of gnomes.
I've researched that a grouping of gnomes is known as a 'donsy of gnomes'
It wasn't until we went to find what appeared to be only one cache that we found all these.
Goldenwattle and I got quite a kick out of this. Goldenwattle and I have placed all in new places in the ACT and NSW.
