Description
Gnome. Moveable.
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.

In the area this afternoon for a gc and spotted an area that was gnomeworthy.
Out for a walk with G, junior S and L (la_shee). Pokemoning as we go. I picked up this little guy and will drop him somewhere gnomeworthy soon. TFTC.

Put out on a lovely walk on a warm day in late November with Wilma in the pinnacles.
I took the caches a little while ago (sorry!) and didn't like the idea of them being such a huge bag all together in one spot (looked a bit like garbage when I found them near Hall). So I fetched a plan to put them out more dispersed some places in nature and so over summer. Now getting around to log them.
Again I am very sorry for anyone (mainly andrewbt I think) who went looking in vain. I am often a bit behind logging but not that much, there were just overwhelmingly many in that bag.

Came up to grab the caches here and move them along - appears to have already been done?
Whilst I was heading out to ac caching run along the chocolate road, I stopped past a familiar spot and sopped of a small collection of moveables for someone else to be able to visit as they leave or arrive in the ACT.
Thanks

I took the chance to visit a well known GCA pickup point and located a nice haul of moveable caches. I hope to put these out again tomorrow.

Just a cacher met me today in the city for a chat and moveable swap. This one was passed on and headed for its next adventure.
A collection of GCA caches made their way to the lovely Mawson Lakes in South Australia and were hidden all in wonderful spots around lakes and parks. I had a lovely afternoon out picking up some GCAs with Mr 10 year old, and also putting out some more.
I have taken this cache today with the intention to move it along again soon. Nice to see some of these old gnomes still looking like new after all these years

This gnome chose a high spot with a great view to wait for its next move.
We were lucky to spot this gnome as it ducked behind a tree. Have him in safe keeping until grandparent duties become less demanding.
Gnomeeze is frolicking about in a small road-side reserve awaiting the next finder.
Upon arrival home after work today, there was a small horde of gnomes trying to enter Fortress J & J. They seemed like a bunch of like-able chaps, so I invited them in to stay for a while.
This moveable will stay with us for a short while before being released somewhere new soon.
Thanks SeabreezeOZ.

Handed to me prior to attending WestOz AGM & subsequent GC event BBQ.
Will move along as soon as practical.

Out with Chwiliwr for a very early morning drive to check out his cache near Nannup and to collect some other GCA caches before the rest of the family arrive in Wellington Mill for a Christmas get together.
Cache found without any problems and was picked up for a move back towards the city soon by Chwiliwr.

Final day of GeGnome Electric Boogaloo, get out there and have fun! 
Dropped him at Hilton Park near some interesting rock formations.
This naughty gnome was hiding where he shouldn't be! I've told him off and taken him to find a more suitable spot.
I dropped this off near another, in a stump, not far from a path and a parking area. Safe travels!
Phew, I found it! Thanks for the extra info Lazarus_68. I will get it back out soon. Thanks for the cache SeabreezeOZ!
Corrected co-ordinates.
Sorry perhaps my GPS playing up
This grass tree is 10m North of another that appears to have much recent human visit.

GnomeezeOz joined us on our visit to Augusta - he decided to stay a bit longer
Beautiful day to be out caching. Found on after visiting Augusta. Lovely walk through the reserve to fin this fellow.
Whew, found his page at last.
Been searching around the website for a half hour to see where the draft was hiding.
Now just have to publish him and he's all ready to go.
