Description
Strawberry GeGnome is an entry in the GeGnome race of 2015/2016.
The official game runs from 1 Dec 2015 - 31 Jan 2016. After the official game ends, this GeGnome wants to make its way back to Canberra.
Rules of the game
Anyone may find and move this GeGnome during the game period.
The GeGnome 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 this GeGnome overseas and it remains unfound overseas for 1 week or more, the GeGnome mover may move the 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.
Etiquette
Avoid rehiding this GeGnome far from active geocaching territory as it basically exits the gnome from the race (ie please no remote locatrions!).
When rehiding this GeGnome get good coordinates. Seriously. Don't dump and run. Get coords as you would a permanent GeGnome.
When making your log against this GeGnome include a good hint so the next finder can identify whether it's been moved, muggled or just a bad GPS day.
The challenge is moving GeGnomes along, not trying to make them impossible to find, so help your fellow players out by making the task enjoyable.

Logs
I was here today on a caching day of the greater area & here to complete a couple of caches in this cemetery. Sorry to say Kittykatch but for me this is a copy & paste of Goldenwattle log back in Sep-2017. I widen the search up to 50 metres & climbed the fence to the bush area outside of the cemetery. If Tuena can provide any info of location of movable then this 1 is MIA. & may need to be disabled until found.
I searched for this. The coordinates took me to an open area where I couldn't see any hides for a gnome. I widened my search, but still DNF. Taking the hint into account I searched the corner 25 metres off GZ. I suspect the coordinates are inaccurate. Sorry, I couldn't find this 
.
.Found with a bunch of his mates on a wild & windy day - thanks to Throsbyonchurch for the special delivery.
I could say I found Strawberry, but in reality, it's probably a comme ci comme ca. It was pretty funny chasing movable gnomes 
, angels 
, frogs 
etc down the freeway only to catch them and be plucking them from their hide'y hole and bursting at the seams carrying 
these wiggly giggly thingys back to a box in your mobile and clutching onto them almost for dear life. The whole look is hilarious. An enormous Thank You 
to Just a Cacher and Black Bunny for finding Strawberry and dropping him off. Thank you Kittykatch for sharing Strawberry.Rated: for Overall Experience
Found with Just a cacher on an afternoon moveable hunt.
Thanks for the moveable.

Went out to near Yass, and found a surprising number of movables, all in one spot.

Missed out on searching for this cache today, went passed the location and couldn't readily u-turn.
Also I didn't know if it was at this location as the log sounded like it was taken with the cacher.

We ventured up to this area as darkness set in with the girlfriend and pooch in tow - a bit of spooky an area I'm told. I laughed, then 30 seconds later, the Torch on my phone decided to then stop working.. 
Escaped with a band of other moveables. I understand that they have been apprehended again already though!
GCA 1141 - 11526. Found this one in the hands of LuckyL10n.

Picked up as part of a prisoner exchange. Nice to catch up again. Will be on the move again soon. TFTC Kittykatch
This one made it back to Canberra, but has now been swapped over in an exchange of prisoner moveables......so already gone.
Out with Just a cacher doing a night time run and this was one of our finds tonight.
A quick park and grab tonight and the cache was found in good condition.

Out for an evening drive with Black Bunny, and came across a band of movables. Well, actually, they came across us, really. I think we were hijacked. They insisted that they be taken to the Capital of our country. I hope their intentions are honourable, but I didn't really feel up to arguing with them. One or two looked quite nasty.

Have returned this moveable for the next finder. Thanks for the opportunity to find.
Got a tip off that there was a party in town so came to join the fun, but the crew didn't like their overnight accommodation. Next thing i looked and they were trying to make off with my car, phew lucky i had the keys in hand. Following the guilt trip that they laid on me they've made a trip home for tea and a cosy bed. Will send them packing tomorrow. This gnome is a coo character. Thanks for sharing.

Found emerging from a bright orange back pack & will move further south asap. If he hadn't emerged would have been thrown out as this is one heavy character.
Do not go look for it, it will not be there until 10:00am on the 29th of February.
Got you A long boring 8km walk from home in the heat but there it was still waiting.

Dropped off a few moveable geocaches in a GCA active area. 
Look what I found. Thats a juicy looking strawberry. Glad it'd not a mushroom - I don't like those. haha
I feel poisoned by blue dragon breath as I can't change them to Griffin with my measly points.

Strawberry GeGnome and company had a quick visit to Red Rock to the gnome home there, and took in the views...now resting under a tree just off the Pacific highway, waiting to be found...(safest access to the gnomes is to turn off the highway onto Sheehys road...its a dead end rd parallel with the highway...opposite B&B you will see the tree...gnomes are hiding under the leaves...photo of tree if needed).
Found a trio of friends hanging out in a stump on the old pacific highway...will take Strawberry GeGnome & Co to see our beautiful coastline here.
Our first gnoming experience was a pleasure. Great to travel with some other gnomes as well. Dropped off with friends
HINT: look in stumpys belly on OPH
Happy travels

Whilst deploying yesterdays haul of Gnomes I came across two more in one of my drop points. I hope they do well in the competition.
Thanks

Out and away from the professor, but with another new gnome for company.
Just down the road from (the new) home, so a quick drive and this little guy and his mate were in hand. I see you've been shopping in the same place as I have KK. A neat little gnome and with the log signed, I'll get him back out in the field of play very shortly.
Thanks KK, good to see another player in the area.

A quick move is a good move. Good luck on your travels little Gnome!
#GA736 - 16:55; After collecting a batch of Gnomes last night, I decided to try for a few more today. After a busy day cooking snags at a Christmas Party, it was time to chill and do a bit of caching. Loaded the GPSr and headed off to collect a few more of the racing Gnomes. Parked the geomobile pretty close and headed to GZ for a quick find. A blank log meant a *FTF* as well. Loving it! TFTG Kittykatch

Released close to its brother, the Professor. Good luck on your travel boys
