Description
I think movables are good fun
Bit Nutty Happy Slab
Do you know what that is ? Come and find this movable and find out.
When I saw this item I had a giggle as I thought it would be a fun movable and couldn't resist putting it out into the world of movables.
Have fun, have a giggle and enjoy this movable
Bit Nutty Happy Slab does not have a logbook, it's just expected to be moved and logged.
PLEASE state in your log if you are moving it so other cachers know it is not at the last location, thanks.
Just remember to update the hint when you move it so that it will be an easy find for others.
Enjoy and Happy caching!
Etiquette
- When rehiding this movable get good co-ordinates. Please don't dump and run.
- When making your log include a good hint so the finder can identify whether it's been moved, muggled or just a bad GPS day.
- This is a challenge of moving, not trying to make them impossible to find, so help you fellow players out by making the task enjoyable
- Please avoid hiding movable caches near existing Groundspeak or Geocaching Australia geocaches. At Groundspeak geocaches they go missing as rubbish or taken as trades. At Geocaching Australia geocaches the other geocache ends up travelling as well which it's not supposed to. So please find a location away from any existing geocaches (except of course other movable geocaches) to keep the movables in play for as long as possible.
Logs
This geocache appears to be MIA so to stop it clogging the search lists we'll archive it.
A review 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 relocated. 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.

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.

Found this cache when helping Gwiber and Chwiliwr remove it from his car after his trip out east with the better half collecting them all. Thanks for the cache.

The better half and I went out for a drive in the country picking up some traditional caches and a whole load of moveable ones. The sealed roads that we went on were obviously OK but according to the better half not the gravel and 4wd ones which only confirmed her aversion to going down them in any vehicle.
Picked up this one on the worst part of the 4wd part of the trip. At one stage just before arriving at this GZ the better half thought we were going to tip over and then immediately after on the next bit she thought we were going to get stuck as the ruts were huge and unavoidable but I managed to get over them after a bit of back and forth.

Time to catch up and log all the moves made for the large number of moveable caches that we have accumulated over the last months.
On the trip out into the Wandoo forrest area with the better half doing some maintenance of my caches after a fire and we dropped off a number of moveable caches along the way.

I was being looked after by Chwiliwr and the better half for the day at their place and whilst there saw a whole big group of moveable caches that were being organised for a move somewhere by my grandparents so played with them for a bit before they were packed up. (Those that were not too fragile to be played with.)
Thanks for the cache.

The better half and I took Gwiber for a drive to Bunbury and beyond to do some GCA moveable recovery and a couple of the new caches as well.
'Found' this cache in the hands of tbh after Gwiber 'dropped' it in Bridgetown.
Thanks for the cache.

Chwiliwr and the better half took me on a GCA caching trip to Bunbury and further south to pick up some moveables and do some other GCA caches along the way.
This moveable was one of the ones collected on the trip.

Dropping off a few moveables at the front of my house in case someone is going past and would like to pick them up
Going up to Perth in a few weeks so will drop them somewhere if not picked up by then

Got it. Using Geocube.
I was using the app Geocube to look for the cache
Such a revolution being able to search for a GCA cache on the iPhone
This could be a game changer for GCA
The app was a bit clunky at first but as I used it more it became easier to use.
I was even able to log a find from the phone.

Attended the very enjoyable GCA Moveable & Mystery Madness event (GA10647) in Whiteman Park today with Chwiliwr and Gwawr. We found this cache with all the other moveable caches that were brought to the event by the various GCA cachers in attendence. There were also a couple found not actually at the event.

Discovered 'The Bit Nutty Happy Slab' 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 Throsbyonchurch 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.

In my safe hands
Intend moving this to Perth WA, where some fresh moveables will be welcome.

Found in company with Team Canary . . .
Will move this one to another Blue Mountains location soon . . .
Left at Leura during a storm for a local cacher.
Stopped by in the hope it was there, but the last log didn't give out much hope. Will contact the previous finder to see if they still have it.
Thanks anyway.....

A nice find inside a GC cache.
We will hide this somewhere up the mountains.

Don't usually play GA caches but noted the code on this one when logging the GC.com cache in the same container. Bit confusing and tempting to take as swag for those who don't know this version of the game and recognise the code. Hopefully it will move on soon but I left it where it was today.
My first find in the wild of a Geocaching Australia moveable cache.
At first thought it was the GC cache so took some photos then realised no logbook, saw the GA number so had to come online and log it for you.
This made me smile, wish it was real, yummmm lol
Thanks for the find ToC
Left in its place for another finder that moves these caches.
