We had a quick look for this cache today in rapidly fading light. The other caches in the area were quick finds but we didn't have any luck with this one.
It's time to give some of these little fellows from Clear Waters Mega Event a new home. This one has been dropped in a most remarkable place really worth a visit, so safe travels!
Haha! a practical moveable. We like that. Spotted on the moveables table at the Clear Waters Event. Thanks for sharing TurtleRider.

Spotted on the table at the Mega Event.
My trip to the Mega was great, found lab caches which while like gadgets are new icons to me. Found some great caches and brought back some neat ideas for new caches in Tasmania.
Join a clan and enter the dragon zone. Clan Phoenix welcomes all new members

#GA3632 - 18:45; Spotted the table full of moveables earlier in the afternoon and logged the first of many unfound moveables then. Returned later to log the rest of them before they disperse. This was one of the group that I managed to locate! TFTC TurtleRider

Discovered at the Clear Waters Catchup with a large bunch of other moveables. It was great to see such support for the Geocaching Australia site and it's caches. TFTC
So many moveables in one location at the Clear Waters Mega event in Queanbeyan. I'm not sure whether I have seen some of these before, but GCA says no, so I'd better find them officially now. TFTC & safe travels.
Found amidst an incredible collection of weird and wonderful objects on the Moveable table at the Clear Waters Event during Easter at Queanbeyan. Thanks for sharing

Reading previous logs, this moveable seems to have been found and removed, however, to date it has not been relocated. We know moveables can sometimes be forgotten / missed / left in the bottom of a caching bag, so a check has been undertaken on this moveables status.
An update will be posted within 28 days….

i came back to this location today because there was a dino hiding there and what do you know i found it! moved heaps of bark and finally something shiney shone through. will move on again soon.

I was back up this way and double checked on this one and could not find it. I have found this one before about a year a go and from memory it is quite small and it is not a container so it is possible this one could be hidden under some bark but I couldn't find it today. I never picked this one up last time I came through because i had already previously found it. I have left another GCA in the same spot so hopefully the next searcher has some better luck.
back over here again and checked this cache and it appears it has been taken and not logged
Our second consecutive DNF on a moveable today.
I searched all around the base of the biggest tree, and around the base of the smaller tree just to the south. Then I rechecked the biggest tree and finally gave up.
Hopefully this one has been picked up and is yet to be logged online.

Discovered 'Australia Day Classic' 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 TurtleRider 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 on my trip to sydney. its under the bridge
Was in the area doing some nearby munzees at Jo Gapper and realized there was an unfound GCA moveable nearby! Happily did a little hike up the hill to find this well hidden cache. Grabbed this one and will move it along again soon.
