Description
Another Gnome released into the wild because they never cease to amuse.
Meet Greenome
Greenome is an orphan gnome. Neither a GeGnome nor a GeGnome][ but a gnome gnonetheless, setting forth on a journey of discovery and amusement. He appreciates meeting new pals including those earlier gnomes and sitting quietly in the greenery tugging on a plug of his special green shag. Above all though, he likes to keep moving.
Found Greenome?
Then Log him with a Found it log so others know that he's been moved.
And then... please move him on, as quickly as possible. Hide him where he can easily be found by other geocachers but well out of sight of muggles.
And then... create a Moved log giving his new coordinates and a simple, clear hint to make it easy for the next finder.

Discovered 'Greenome' 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 Baktrak for the cache.

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.

Moved to a nice spot for some R&R. Lots of friends around here.
Got you this wet and windy day, time to come inside.

dropped off for the local geocacher to find. Most likely already gone.
Got you, you can't get away from me my friend!
Now for a trip up the mountains.

Greenome was homesick for the mountains so I dropped him off at Parramatta station where he said he was catching a train west
Dropped this off this evening while in the mountains for a night cache
Greenome was waiting in a really lovely old cemetery, not even hiding from me at all!
Dropped off this gnome in the centre of town
Found it will move on soon. Thanks for the moveable Baktrak

Most of the way up the ridge, in a cave just big enough for a large gnome. Looks like an avalanche has hidden him.
Handed over to me by Toriaz. I will place this big fella somewhere very soon.

A quick after work detour and a couple of U-turns for an easy find without the GPS turning on!?!
Found this gnome en route to his present hiding place!

Greenome has moved at last, for a while there I thought he would never leave.
On a trig hunt day with rogerw3 with a couple of GA along the way ...
You take rogerw3 for a drive and next you know there is an extra passenger in the back. Apparently on his way up the hill, hope the little fellow likes a good long chat. Thanks for the Green Gnome, Baktrak

I have taken him for a ride out to the Hawkesbury. He is resting under a grass bush near the banks of the Hawkesbury river.
Having found the 'Avondale Stakes' near by I collected this fella to accompany me home. He will be released in a new area shortly
Rated: for Overall Experience
Greenome has moved up near a trig and not too far from a GC cache in Avondale. Should be an easy find as he has crawled up snug and dry to have a sleep and shouldnt wander too far quickly.
The old FTF hound in me from back in the day when I worked from home would be disgusted. Ive been so busy chasing Geosportz caches I left this one a few days as it wouldn't fulfill one of my reqs and time was short each day. This morning I went and stopped by on route to work only to find Tron had beaten me, and claimed "Golf" (which I aleady had) so Im glad to do her a solid by leaving it there 48 hours. Even better, she didnt take him so I got the find anyway 
Karma is lovely. Greenome has come with me but will soon find a new home. Cheers!

FTF. Yeah. ...another Geosportz challenge crossed off. Left him there for other gnome hunters to find.
