Description
A Company of travelling soldiers
I have a bunch of small plastic soldiers for swaps etc - but the realitiy is - I have a lot! I couldn't possibly fill every cache in the ACT with them!
So, to that end. Here's the deal:
1. Find the cache. Sign the bison in the container
2. (Optional) take some army men for your own swaps, collection or shelf
3. (Optional) put some plastic soldiers back in!
4. Move it on
Logs
A review of this moveable shows the cache may have been collected from its currently listed co-ords, however it has not been relocated. The previous finder was contacted regarding the cache however it has not been re-located. As a result, we are archiving the cache to stop cachers looking for a cache that is obviously not at the listed co-ords. This is also done to keep the Geocaching Australia database clean and up to date,
If the cache owner can confirm that the cache has be relocated, they can post an unarchive log and the cache will be back in the game.
If the cache owner can confirm that the cache has be relocated, they can post an unarchive log and the cache will be back in the game.
Reading previous logs, this moveable may still be in location OR may have been found, removed and not relocated yet. We know moveables can sometimes be forgotten / missed / left in the bottom of a caching bag, so a check has been undertaken on this one.
An update will be posted within 28 days….

I found your geocache at an event held in Adelaide GA13348 where there was a large table of movable GCA caches.
Your cache was in great condition and is continuing on its journeys.
I did not take this one, but it is good hands and moving on.
Thanks for placing this movable cache to be found and moved.

Headed down to Melbourne for the Meet the Moveables event at Brimbank Park, where this moveable, along with about 120 other were found. A good turn out at the event and everyone seem to have a lot fun talking about all things caching while finding the moveables and getting a start on the Journey or Destination summer game. A good couple of hours were spent in the area before witching hour rolled around and it was time to head back up the highway towards home. T'was an uneventful trip and with the number of moveable on offer, was certainly worth the drive.
Thanks for the moveable.....

A most interesting unregimented company of soldiers. To be perfectly honest I thought they were in a shambles. All lolling about in a most unorderly fashion. Nobody seemed to be in command. They all appeared to be just enjoying a picnic at the Meet the Moveables event at Brimbank Park.
So many moveable at 'Meet the Moveables' event.
Leave it there.
Thanks

A quick pickup of moveables today for a secret meeting to take place in just a little while. Your geocache would ike to join the secret activities so it may not move for a little while but it will be safe and sound and will be moved along (and hopefully logged quite a bit) in the not too distance future.
Took nothing, left nothing.

A muster of old moveables in Canberra was called for, so a heap were collected and they have now made their home in and around Melbourne......hope they enjoy their new surroundings.
Time for a muster of some of the (older) moveables in Canberra. This one is now in my hands and heading off to Melbourne to find a new home and hopefully found a few more times.
Did a GCA PT today behind Collector & left this & a bunch of other moveables near one of the locations. Much closer to Canberra than my last location near Wingello.
Moved ready for a pick up by the local Geocacher.
found a new hideout and guarding a dinosaur
Found while doing some caches & enjoying a coffee with Lucky1955. Thanks for sharing.
Found this one at the GA moveables event held at Ebenezer. Signed and left in place for the next finder.

Found the company of soldiers entrenched in manoeuvres at the back of Tizzana Winery. I felt sorry for the injured soldier being carried by 2 mates but wasn't able to give him a lift to the nearest hospital as I wasn't going that way. Hoping that they got him to the aid station in time.
Signed the log and replaced as found didn’t take anything or add any new soldiers to the container. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for the moveable andrewbt

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.

While we were collecting information this company of tiny soldiers slipped away to enjoy time beside the sea. Happy travels. The container is small.
While out caching today we noticed that there was a gathering of moveable caches near by. We couldn't just drive by so stopped to check the attendees out. They were gathered in a well used hiding spot,one where we have found moveable caches on previous visits to the ACT.
On removing their cover we found a very mottled crew waiting to be moved on. We checked each occupant closely we recognised some familiar faces and objects. On checking we realised we had found five of these moveables before - we left those in situ - the other five we will take on a little trip with us and leave the at other places on our route south.
What an interesting idea for a moveable. Alas we are not traveling with any soldiers this trip so will not be able to add or swap but will leave this one where hopefully it will be picked up by other cachers with soldier collections. As this one doesn't appear to have left the ACT we hope the soldiers will not be too traumatised by leaving.

Out in the company of others and awaiting a call up.....
couldn't find any of the moveables that should be where this is supposed to be located
Grabbed this one to move a little further north to a warmer climate.
Should be re-located in the next 2 weeks.

A little Caching on a short break I could afford today, while I was visiting Canberra at the time and wanted to fit in as much caching as possible. Got a bunch of GC and GCA around the Glenloch Interchange. Took a few of these soldiers and took em all the way to Germany leaving them in small caches over there Thanks for putting this one out andrewbt
Quick find when out looking desperately for something else.

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 this one off on the way home to lesson the load. Moved only a little distance this time. TFTC andrewbt.

Lots of little soldiers helped make up the numbers at the event today. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels... TFTC.
A few new moveables in town, but more importantly now on my side of town. Swung past on the way home and soon had this one....along with his mates....in hand. Not sure they are nano's in size, more like a small......
Will move along in the next couple of days.
Thanks AndrewBT....always good to see a few more moveables.
