The better half and I went out for a drive in the country picking up some traditional caches and a whole load of moveable ones. The sealed roads that we went on were obviously OK but according to the better half not the gravel and 4wd ones which only confirmed her aversion to going down them in any vehicle.

Picked up these moveables on the way back to the City after visiting York and other places in between.

Time to catch up and log all the moves made for the large number of moveable caches that we have accumulated over the last months.

On the trip out into the Wandoo forrest area with the better half doing some maintenance of my caches after a fire and we dropped off a number of moveable caches along the way.

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.

The better half and I took Gwiber for a drive to Bunbury and beyond to do some GCA moveable recovery and a couple of the new caches as well.

Discovered 'Sequins the GeGnome' 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 SirJ0Oz 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.

In my safe hands.
Intend to move this to Perth.

Sequins needed to get out of the sweltering summer heat and found a cool shady cave near a river. The easting could be a bit flaky here. He's between the track and the street on the mangrove side of the street.

Found and captured. He's temporarily in a detention centre pending transit processing.

Moved up the road a bit near another moveable hunter who might need it for the Scavenge series.

Amazing what you find in the front yard! Thanks blossom* for the moveable swap, and thanks SirJ-Oz for a new gnome I hadn't seen before. Will try to find a new home over the weekend for it.

I dropped Sequins off to visit a friend

I went for a rather humid walk this morning to meet this guy. He was relaxing in a cool log and I'm not sure he wanted to come with us. Never mind, I gave him a nice fruit bun and a cup of peppermint tea when we got home so he seems pretty happy.

Rated: for Overall Experience

A nice walk with lots of caches to find around the track. Middle Harbour was at its Spring best and Sequins has found a comfy home near the water.

Grabbed! Hunting some new GCA caches that have mysteriously popped up and located this guy not too far away. Off to the big smoke for you!

Picked up from the park on the Nepean River near Penrith. He seemed to be a bit under the weather he may have gone to the Mardi Gra last night in all his finest sequins. Thanks for the moveable will move on soon. SirJ-Oz

Found this very smart looking gnome at a Leap Day event in Eltham. He's looking good despite shedding a few of his sequins

Spotted this sparkly guy again but this time on the table at a GC event (Once every 4 years - GC68XG9).
I left him there to continue on with his travels to NSW.

Enjoy the trip little Gnome.

Found this fella hiding under bushes in Westerfolds Park during a morning walk. This Gnome is my first Victorian GA cache and will accompany me back to NSW

This sparkly guy is now playing with the roos in a rather dry Gresswell forest.

Travel far little little Gnome.

Gnabbed! I'll move him along soon. Bling!

Swapped with another

Time to move again

seems the new co-ords didnt take, trying again

moved on after visiting Dad at Greenway Gardens

picked up & dropped a couple more in his place

swap with another that was here (left his companion)

Grabbed Sequins to move along soon

Yes, I am covered in glitter again and sequins, after an extended stay with me, has continued his travels.

Picked up again as I didn't want to leave poor Sequins all by himself

Dropped off on the way to Bright. Travel well my little gnomish friend.

Rescued @ 22:50. Gee, there seems to be a lot of muggles in the area. I hope none of them want to plunder my gnome haul.

Dropped off in a bit of a lazy gnome swap. 2 for 2 under a tree just off the path.
Thanks again SirJ-Oz and good luck little gnome.

Early morning pickup of this shiny fellow "on my way" to work. Lucky as I don't think he would have lasted the weekend here.
Thanks sirj-oz for the gnome. I'll move on soon.

Sequins and I had a relatively short journey together... He got a bit crappy about how much of his glitter I was stealing, nor did he like the fact that the whole way home is uphill.

Fact of the matter is I actually found somewhere neat to stash him while I was catching my breath coming up the path!

Found Sequins where I left Gerald for his nap last night, clearly gnomes like it here!

Off we go, Sequins!!

Happy travels Sequins, I hope you don't have to wait long for your next move

Picked up at 6:20 today to move on

where else to put the genome sequence but at GTAC.

Found in the company of a muggle. have an idea of where this one should go

Dropped off after finding another gnome in this location. This one is hidden well and should be safe until the next move along.

Out caching with GabGab for a few hours of gnomish goodness. A nice easy find.
