Description
We have entered two gnomes for the game in 2015/16.
The other gnome ran away from us on the mainland and was subsequently called "y's RunAway". This gnome was already in place before we went to the mainland, patiently waiting for the game to begin. It seems appropriate to rename this gnome "y's Stay At Home" to show the different character - this gnome is much more placid and sociable. However, he doesn't want to just stay in the Ulverstone area - he wants to get out and about and join in the game.

The remains of Y's Stay At Home have arrived back on the little island. Unfortunately he appears to have been decapitated while travelling the big island and the head is absent.
RIP Y's Stay at Home. May be you should have stayed at home.

He wanted to travel to the mainland with us tomorrow, but unfortunately he didn’t have a head for seaboard travel.
Thanks for the opportunity of discovering this beheaded moveable.

On our recent trip to the south of the state we collected up a few moveable caches, today they were passed on to another team who will help them continue their journeys, thanks for travelling with us for a bit
Found by mr sharnie's tribe flying solo on a work day. Had to creep around the motorhomes camping in the area but got a few, will move on asap. This poor little fellow looks a bit sad these days, only half a cache is still travelling! TFTC
Found at the moveables event at Ebenezer. Thanks for the moveable it was found during the summer games

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.

Found this one at the Meet the Moveables (NSW Edition) event held at Tizzana Winery in Ebenezer. A fantastic turnout at the event run for the current 2018/19 Journey or Destination game being run on Geocaching Australia which saw a total of 75 moveables come together. Thanks for sharing.

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.

I'll loose my head for a good party, or a bad one. We're all going to Skint and Humph's Christmas party. They said they weren't interested in one but it should be fun. But won't be there till about 1230
Meet up with phlphotos in Ebenezer and found a small swag of moveables in the geomobile. Thanks for sharing and left in the hands of phlphotos to move on.

This new game is about the choices you make in the experience of the journey or the destination.
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. There are a number of different ground tiles that will be revealed when you click on your playing field. It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile
Meandering around and avoiding the path will accumulate points that will be used to place on you the ladder of wanderers. The more you stay off the path the higher the number of points you will accumulate and it will be your journey that will be the determining factor in whether you place into a prize winning position. You are free to select any ground tile to click on; they do not need to be next to each other.
Trying to find the path may mean you strike out on the dirt until you eventually come across the path and as a geocacher who can't say that this isn't a tried and true method. Once you find the path however will you try and follow the path as it changes direction around your playing field? Do you go North, South, East or West to try and find the next concrete tile along the path? If you head one way are you heading towards the start or towards the destination? When you do happen upon the destination tile then you will automatically be in a winning position.
At any point you are free to change from the journey to the destination and vice versa but you won't be able to regenerate your playing field. You are also free to keep playing as long as you have qualifying geocaches, accumulating more and more dirt tile points and placing you higher and higher on the ladder.

Found amongst the large collection of visiting dinos at the Sydney Dinosaur Meeting in Bankstown. This gnome was able to get out unscathed from the gathered gnashing teeth.
Another moveable race, another event...and another reason to get out and about....and hello to this moveable, although not a dinosaur racer, a moveable all the same.
Decided late last night that I'd head up to Sydney for the Dinosaur Racer Swap meet event. Took about 16 racers with me to drop off, and managed to find a few as well. Grabbed a few to bring back to Canberra and they will released around here shortly.
Thanks for this one guys.....a bit of treat....a 2y'stassie cache that I didn't find in Tassie.

Virtual move as will be picked up tomorrow - don't look here.
Moved to a location along the road to Tallowa Dam in Kangaroo Valley. You will have to negotiate the embankment - don't park on the road. High clearance vehicle but 4WD not necessary. There are a couple of options to access the parking. A short walk into the bush with some fine scribbly gums to admire. Cache is with a few other moveables. Averaged location. If you see a large, leaning scribbly gum you're nearly there.
Moved to Woollies for pick up, don't bother looking gone already.
Here we are again, must take you further away next week.

I decided to take advantage of a couple flexdays to come up the mountains and stay with my favorite old man
Of course there was a price to pay and I was made to find a few caches to pay for my bread and board, nothing onerous this far but I fear he may have other plans for the next couple days.

Spotted a few more GA caches that had popped up on the radar which were mainly moveables but in a good position to satisfy one of the dragon zone requirements.
Other dragon zone requirements had to be also met, which included the day of the week plus the day of the month. Sunday had the least dragon zone finds and the 19th of the month had only a couple of finds, so it looks like the dragon zone stars had aligned for today.
The only problem with the weather would be too warm, though all the caches were mostly drive bys, so no real problem there.
Once again, as soon as I had put my hat and boots on, Murder(the younger of the two canine family....4 yo) started to get pretty excited as he just loves both bush walking and travelling around in the geo fourby.
My eldest canine...Sirius...is now too old(16y 10m) to leave the comfort of his bed in front of the wood heater...which has an electric blanket( not needed today though) of course which he just loves and is great for his arthritis. Having walked 100's of km's with me geocaching over the years up numerous mountains, bush walking along many trails plus along vast stretches of beaches etc while geocaching, he has certainly earned his rest..an amazing companion who never gave up no matter how hard it got for him...a truly remarkeable and treasured companion.
The first moveable was "School" which was placed opposite the Burnie High School. Approaching gz and with very accurate coords, I soon spotted the little blighter hiding on the steel fence along side the now disused rail line. Many thanks 'Old Saint' for placing and maintaining the cache for us all to enjoy. Reckon this little cache will take a trek back down south to South Arm where it can travel the 250km dragon zone requirement...cheers ST.
The 2nd GA cache on my travels was 'Postman Pat'.On approaching gz all was quiet but my blind/dumb streak seemed to cut in as my initial search was on the wrong fence. Turned around and omg...how did I not see that?.. gees, even Murder would have done a better job of sniffing it out...lol. Great job with the cache too and this is one cache I can say is surely muggle proof.After manipulating the required part I soon had the log book signed.Many thanks Sharnies Tribe for an excellent gadget cache....cheers ST.
The 3rd cache....'y's Stay At Home'...a moveable...was out along the Bass Highway near Sisters Creek. Once nearing gz a familiar guard rail hide was soon spotted for a quick find. Thanks for the cache 2y'stassies...cheers ST.

A beautiful day for caching so set out to rehide some moveable caches we brought home from the south of the state last weekend. The north west of the state doesn't get a lot of GA caching traffic but if we put enough of them out here we're hoping someone will come through to grab the lot and find our other caches as well
Took a bit longer to find this one and his mate because the coordinates were a bit out. Eventually recognised the hint from previous moveable caches we'd found in this area and went for a look and there they were safe and sound. We'll take these and another moveable found nearby to the north west with us. TFTC
I was in the general area today collecting moveables to start off my GCA November stats. The first moveable I found was Barney which was just a lucky find as his hidden coords put his position in the Derwent River. As I have two gadget caches hidden here and know the general area I thought I would collect all the other moveables and look out for the hint object on my travels. After only walking 50 m there in front of me was a large log, which matched the hint. Could this be Barney's new home? The area around GZ had recently been burnt so I was hoping he hadn't been hidden there. I found a likely hole in the large burnt log and there he was reclining like he was at the beach. Boy he must have a good suntan after basking in the heat. Now I am thinking how did my gadget cache go in the heat of the burn? On checking I found my gadget cache, hidden a few hundred metres away was totally destroyed in what looks like a controlled burnoff. So one gadget cache now archived it was off to find the other four moveables and y's stay at home was one of them. Luckily the hide was outside of the controlled burn. We meet again. Will move on soon. TFTM

Hello 2y'stassies thanks for the cache.
I was caching on the Eastern Shore waiting for things to happen and got out to Midway Point and noticed your cache on the GPS. It wasn't until I climbed down the bank and found it that I realised I had already found it in another location. At first I didn't know whether to leave it there and not log a find or move it on after reading the last log and noticing it had been there for four months I thought I take it with me and move it to a new location.

Back out with a couple of mates Forget I had this little fella in my backpack. He's been on quite a journey around Tasmania over the past 6 months.
Thought he would be happy to have a rest in a peaceful location until his next pickup.
Have place him next to the beautiful Tyenna River near Mount Field Nationsl Park.
He's in an easily accessible location with good cover from danger.
Turn left before crossing the bridge that leads you into the national park.
There's a short dirt track that leads to a parking area.
Park here and continue past the chained track approx 50 metres to the GZ.
Generous hint has been provided as my phones GPS was jumping around a lot.
