Description
A movable gnome for the GeGnome race
It looks like Graeme has been out in the sun for a little too long. Well what do you expect for a garden gnome?
Suitably painted to blend in with the garden...... (well maybe).
Bonus points if you know why he is called Graeme
Logs
I failed in my quest to find him today. Searched the area for a while but gave up as the rain started coming down hard.
Decided to move him in as he was really too close to another cache. I also bagged up all the parts in a cloth bag to keep them together.
Searching for another cache nearby and stumbled in this broken gnome. SL TFTC

Found this little one unintentionally as I was searching for a GC cache.
Unfortunately Graeme needs some urgent TLC as he is badly broken. Anyhow I signed the log and put him back to his hiding place.

Quick look for Graeme after logging the Virtual here. May have mucked up the coords on my gps, but couldn't locate this little fellow today. 
Found at the Goulburn Invasion Event - Rally by the River by Geocaching NSW (GC6YPMP) in New South Wales Australia.

GCA 1258 - 14219. Spotted this one at the Goulburn Event today.
Among all the trackables there were a couple of GCA Moveables - nice to find this one.
TFTC !!

Seen at the awesome gathering at the weir in Goulburn. Such a handsome looking guy. Sorry for being so slow to log!
Rescued this one from the cemetery today. Will find a new home shortly, thanks Jacimarble.
Moved to a new resting spot for a well deserved rest, Well not too long a rest one would hope.
Got this one as part of a moveable hunt in Berry, not much of a hunt really thanks to Tuena.

Found him with another so grabbed, did a uee & headed back down a different way. Thanks.
Grabbed this cool dude from his hidey hole and placed him on the back seat. I will set him free shortly.

What a surprise to find no less than 13 moveable GA-s in one place (end of road guard). 
Including quite a 'donsy' of gnomes.
I've researched that a grouping of gnomes is known as a 'donsy of gnomes'
It wasn't until we went to find what appeared to be only one cache that we found all these.
Goldenwattle and I got quite a kick out of this. Goldenwattle and I have placed all in new places in the ACT and NSW.

Truly worth stopping, as there wasn't only this cache, but there were THIRTEEN movable caches

I dropped Graeme off on the way home, in another part of town. TFTC Jacimarble.

Woot! Prisoner exchange was a success. I've got this guy and I'll move on shortly 
This little Gnome has found his way north for a tour of the nation's capital and is on the move again already! 
Spotted in the hands of LuckyL10n after a trip to Victoria and before being released into the wild again.
Thanks for the moveable Jacimarble....

#GA1005 - 18:05; I was on a caching run around Melbourne collecting a few GCA caches in this area. After a DNF on a nearby Gnome, I approached the posted coords for this one with a little trepidation. Once at GZ though, I soon had the Gnome in hand and ready for a trip back to Canberra with me.

About time I dropped off these gnomes I've been carrying around. Good luck with your travels.
Picked up on this nice sunny Anzac day. He certainly is a colorful little fellow. Thanks for the gnome.
Time to let Graeme loose in another garden. Hope your next trip is a Goodie
Grabbed Graeme from the National Steam Centre today when I visited for the Steam Rally (wow! this place gets really busy!) I'll move him along soon.
Took me a little longer than I hoped to place Graeme back in play, but at least her fill get his last few KM
Dropped off at a well known peppercorn and already heading further south.
Graeme has joined in the walking party going around Australia.
He doesn't look a lot like his name sake, but he is now a lot further north
Time to hit the road.
Safe travels little one.

Time to move on soon little gnome.
Maybe closer to the CBD.

Found this one today along with a host of others. They should all be moved along very shortly. *FTF* First to find after being so unloved for so long.
