Description

A gnome for the latest race

Golden gnome is a nice little one sourced from K-Mart. May he travel far and wide

Not too many rules but they are:

Your geocache must a genuine, bone fide garden gnome
You are allowed to move your own geocache
Caches must be found, moved and rehidden by the same geocacher
There is no limit to the number of times other geocachers can find / move the cache provided there are at least two other finds / moves in between
If a geocacher moves your geocache overseas and it remains unfound overseas for 1 week or more, the geocacher may move your geocache back to the country of origin without breaking the "2 moves" rule
There is no limit to the distance other geocachers can move a geocache
Other geocachers in the game may find / move your geocache, but to play fair they're asked to move it on within 2 days
Geocaches must be hidden where the stated co-ordinates indicate and may then, and only then, be moved
Leapfrogging geocaches by nominating hidden co-ordinates in one location then immediately having them move to another set of co-ordinates just to increase distance or moves may be grounds for disqualification

Enjoy logging this gnome and just try moving him on during the race and afterwards. Hopefully he can add to everyone's GCA finds.

Logs

Periodically the Geocaching Australia review team checks moveable caches that haven’t been found or moved in over 90 days.

This moveable fits that brief, however reading previous logs it seems it may still be at the posted co-ords and is just sitting there waiting for the next finder to give it a go.

So, if you’re in area why not stop by and help it on its way.

Grabbed this golden boy at the Ballan event.
(13/1/16 - Sorry Richary, he hasn't been moved as yet, because just after the event my mum had a tragic accident and passed away a day laer, so he travelled with us to the RMH ICU. Will try and place him as soon as we can).

05-Jan-16
Grabbed to keep him moving along and to ensure he doesn't get stuck in one location for too long. Off interstate and Bendigo is looking good for his next location....

Thanks Richary, neat GeGnome, love the colour.

#GA797 - 15:45; I noticed that this GeGnome and one of his mates had landed in town and was hoping that I might find them in place when I called past this afternoon. As luck would have it, after wasting an hour on an unsuccessful hunt a few km away, I managed to grab two for the price of one for a quick move this afternoon. I missed this one by a whisker earlier in December, but all is good today. TFTG richary Very HappyI'm a Gnome, duh!Clan Cerberus

This bloke was starting to look a little creepy at my place so I've moved him to another spot where he should have a nice rest.
 
15-Dec-15
He was still happily snoozing when found, will find a new spot to hide his golden glow under shortly.
