Now located in the Bush on the south side of Brisbane. 2 Images attached to assist in locating the cache.
Not at the posted co ordinates.
I left this one in place in the hope that visitors to this region would be GCA players and would take it further along on its journey. Alas not to be. I will move this one much closer to Brisbane in a few days time. TFTM ZoNic66

Saw that someone had left these poor little defenseless creatures out in the bush in the dark, so we dashed off on a rescue mission. We will give them some counselling, and what medical aid they require, before releasing them into a more salubrious district.
Out for a night drive with Just a cacher and collected this lot to take south to Canberra.
One of twenty five at this location. All in a bag so find first then head over to the others.
Thanks to Roger for this cache of moveables. I'll hide them in Wingello SF within the week. (Familiar).

Found this one on the table at the event for Australia Day for the moveables. Thanks for the moveable which was one of 101 that made their way to Ebenezer from far away places to spend some time in the local winery before scattering to new places. Good luck on any further moves

For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath.
A moving cache, by nature, may have been moved since you last determined its location. It may have been picked up but not yet rehidden so it's considered 'in-transit'. There is no foolproof method of determining where a cache is simply by the log types that have been placed against the cache.

Headed up to Ebenezer with LuckyL10n to attend the Aussie Day event. 45 degree day made for a bit of a fun trip, however it was pleasant in the winery building. A good few hardy souls were in attendance as well as over 100 moveables. Some good conversation with cachers not met before and a good couple of hours was had by all. The trip home was a little different to what was expected but turned out ok....
Thanks to all the CO's for the caches...

Called into Tizzana Winery to buy some wine and saw the moveables and the list. The family wanted to continue on so said "Hi" to a few we'd previously met then headed on with some wine. Diolch for the moveable. I didn't pick up any.

Attended the 'Australia Day Moveable Event 2018' and came face to face with other like minded cachers, one being another lucky (luckyl10n) and 101 moveables in the area. Many thanks to the CO's who have published them over time and others who bought them together for the event.

Found this one at the Australia Day Moveable Event 2018 event held at Tizzana Winery in Ebenezer. Another fantastic turnout at the event run for the current 2018/19 Journey or Destination game being run on Geocaching Australia which saw a total of 101 moveables come together. Thanks for sharing.

#GA3412 - 17:00; I didn't make it to the prisoner exchange today, but I did manage to get my name onto the log sheet as the posse headed through the northern suburbs on their way into the National Capital for a bit of touring and sightseeing. TFTC ZoNic66

Grabbed from Tuena at a catch up in Wingello. Great to make a few finds and then sit in the comfort an air conditioned café with coffee and muffins.
Thanks to Tuena for the meeting and to the CO for the cache.

This new game is about the choices you make in the experience of the journey or the destination.
On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing field with a number of ground tiles. Your playing field is a grid 20 x 20 ground tiles making a total number of 400 possible steps you can take on your journey or destination. You choose whether you want to find and follow the path or whether you wanted to meander around. A playing field is unique to each player so there is no benefit in teaming up to beat the system through brute force.
For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath. There are a number of different ground tiles that will be revealed when you click on your playing field. It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile
Dirt. The ground beneath the ground tile is just plain old brown dirt.
Dirt with some points. The ground beneath the tile is brown dirt but it has some points associated with it.
Concrete. The ground beneath is part of the pathway that will lead you on your way to your destination but has no point value.
Start. A concrete ground tile that has a blue map marker.
Destination. A ground tile that has a green map marker.
Meandering around and avoiding the path will accumulate points that will be used to place on you the ladder of wanderers. The more you stay off the path the higher the number of points you will accumulate and it will be your journey that will be the determining factor in whether you place into a prize winning position. You are free to select any ground tile to click on; they do not need to be next to each other.
Trying to find the path may mean you strike out on the dirt until you eventually come across the path and as a geocacher who can't say that this isn't a tried and true method. Once you find the path however will you try and follow the path as it changes direction around your playing field? Do you go North, South, East or West to try and find the next concrete tile along the path? If you head one way are you heading towards the start or towards the destination? When you do happen upon the destination tile then you will automatically be in a winning position.
At any point you are free to change from the journey to the destination and vice versa but you won't be able to regenerate your playing field. You are also free to keep playing as long as you have qualifying geocaches, accumulating more and more dirt tile points and placing you higher and higher on the ladder.
A moving cache, by nature, may have been moved since you last determined its location. It may have been picked up but not yet rehidden so it's considered 'in-transit'. There is no foolproof method of determining where a cache is simply by the log types that have been placed against the cache. In general the following applies:
A moved log with new co-ordinates indicates that the cache is in the new location ready to be found.
A found log with new co-ordinates indicates that the cache is in the new location ready to be found.
A found log with no new co-ordinates may indicate one of two situations:
The cache has been found and left in place.
The best way to determine this is to read the found log and hopefully the cacher who found the cache has indicated whether it is still in place.
The cache has been found and the cacher has taken it away to re-hide it.
The best was to determine this is to read the found log and hopefully the cacher who found the cache has indicated whether they have taken it away.
In essence, you will need to read the last log to determine whether the cache is in place or whether the cache has been moved. Remember that even though the logs indicate the cache may be at a certain location, it may have been picked up and moved only moments before you arrived. That's part of the challenge of a moving cache; you're never quite sure whether it's a DNF because you can't spot it or it's been moved along.

Was looking for this moveable several days ago, not realising it had already been picked up. Great to see it hasn't been lost and is still in play as we spotted it during a moveable check on a big caching day. Left it in the hands of alnic39 to move on.

Picked up after attending events at Ebenezer today. Will move it along.

Found this one on the way home from Tizzana's winery it took a while to spot in the drizzle and the dark left the torch in the car so was using the light from the phone. Missed this one the first time it went around but this time I got to include my name in the log.
Signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for the moveable ZoNic66

Noticed the new placement this morning, so as we were in Windsor we came down to make the find. Have grabbed this one to move on. Thanks for the moveable ZoNic66.
As an added bonus we sustained what can only be referred to as a woosy scratch during the extraction process...which is great for our fencing challenge in the GeosportZ 2018 game

Had a raid in Lapstone this morning netting 3 traditional and 7 moveables.
Collected this one as I made my way out of the area.

Thanks to Team Novo, this cache has been found. More than a year after it went missing one it's first day out, it was not far down the Victory Track about 500 metres from where it went missing. Now in the hands of geodad alnic39
Hey I found this geocache quite by chance hanging in a tree at S33 41.788 E150 32.251 today. Down the Victory track! Maybe the CO can grab it and reinstate it? I didn't realise it was moveable til just now. TFTC, ZoNic66.

As this listing has been disabled for move than 90 days we'll archive this one. If the owner can confirm it is in place the listing can be resurrected by placing an "unarchived" log against it.
Nope. Too many muggles around for a comfortable search, but rogerw3 and I covered the likely spots fairly well.
Guessing that someone has grabbed this one and forgotten to log it.
Or else it's been muggled . . .
Hope the former!
Stopped by today but no luck, I guess someone has picked it up but not logged it.

And found the final decoration to complete the set. Moved it to my event for the moment.
