Description
This was my entry in the Moving Cache Race in Dec'09-Jan'10 but now the cache is a normal moveable cache for your enjoyment!
Your challenge is to locate this cache, collect it, take it away, sign the log and re-hide it in a different location, taking note of the new co-ordinates. Then you log the details in 2 simple steps:
First Step: Log your find with a 'Found' log - this will give you your smiley!
Second Step: Log the move with a new 'Moved' log, adding the new co-ordinates as well as something useful in the hint box. This will update the main co-ordinates and the hint for the cache listing so that it will update in GSAK and the like.
One of the best parts about these moving caches is that you don't have to worry about being spotted retrieving the cache. Enjoy being as obvious as you like in order to grab it. Then run away as fast as you can.
The rules are simple:
- You can "find" this cache as many times as you like (the more the merrier!) as long as the last move was by someone else
- A move should be completed and logged with new coordinates and a hint within 2 days please
The main idea is to keep the cache moving along so please hide it in a terrain and difficulty level that will keep it easily found. Don't forget you can find and move this cache as many times as you like!

Hi all, I went to check on it today and yes it is still there. It sounds like you've been looking in the right places but it can be hard to see. (And don't worry it is not in the drain)
14th
I guess I am not as blind as I thought I was, I looked all over the place with no luck, I even checked all around the rocks near the drain. The co-ords put me at the footpath and there really is nowhere to hide anything at that spot.
I think Richary is right and there is a need for more details and better co-ords here.
Still a great place to spend some time.

Might be a problem here, the coords put me in the middle of a path with no really obvious hiding spots nearby. Had a good search for about a 30 metre radius but there weren't many spots to hide a cache. The hint obviously relates to the previous location rather than this one so that wasn't any help. Might be a typo in the coords perhaps - could be worth checking with the previous hider.

My first preference was unfortunately unavailable because I didn't realise there were shards of glass in that location, but after a short walk I was able to find a better location nearby.

Actually went looking for Hazelbrook Bridge (GC285AN), between the three of us we found both caches almost simultaneously.
I've picked up this cache and will move it this afternoon\evening.

Found this one again (2nd time). Although I made hard work of it, I left all the info at home and had to rely on my memory (a flawed tool at best for me!) of the Google Earth screen to find it. After a bit of searching I remembered the tell tale structure and there it was.
Picked it up and will move it again in a day or so.
Thanks for the cache blossom*.

Have been looking for this for a clue for the associated Mystery Cache on GC.com, but it was in the ACT.
Now it was less than 2kms from work I had to go and get it quickly, before it moved far away!
Will move it along soon.

I have moved this cache a little closer to Sydney, it is in Kingsford Smith Memorial park in Katoomba.
GPS reception was a bit patchy so look below Gang Gang Street along the wall.
This is a great little park, sadly somewhat neglected, but still well worth a closer look.

Picked up this little one on my way to replace my Nascondino movable cache that was picked up yesterday by blossom* and strike-a-light.
Thank you for putting this cache here for me to find, I will move it very quickly.
Took nothing, left a Yowie and Olympic pin.

This one is for you Rogerw3! With all your work on the Moveable caches near this spot, we figured it was about time someone put something back for you!
As I can't find the "hint" location in the listing pages, here is it: just remember that blossom*s are not at all keen on heights so a spot extremely close to the dirt is the best place to look!

On a trip to ACT, I thought I just had to pick this one up. Great little spot for a cache to hide, I'm not sure where I'll drop it yet

Went to find this one, but had to leave it. The cache is apparently near a hall, and there was a church service of some sort going on inside, and we didn't want to interrupt, or be too obvious, so we left it.

To celebrate the last day of the Moveable Cache Race we are organising an impromptu afternoon tea and cache exchange at S35 18.280 E149 07.360. The idea is for all the Moveable Caches that are currently in the ACT to come together for a quick cup of tea and a cache ‘swap in swap out’. Meeting time is 3pm, today, 31 January 2010. The above location has easy access and carparking available. So grab a Moveable Cache and cup of tea and come on over.

Didn't think this one would last until lunchtime. Lots of muggles around, but this is the beauty of a mover. You don't have to care. This cache (minus a magnet) is essentially identical to my mover.

Raced out to grab a few moving caches that we hadn't yet been able to get our hands on. Couldn't find much in the way of hiding spots for six caches. Returned home empty handed to find more logs - obviously this was grabbed pretty much after it was hidden, and was long gone before we got there.

Grabbed this one after the cache party. Now to move it where it was be easily picked up for the next cache party.

After picking up this and two other caches from the Black Bunny Melbourne long distance road trip haul, I took them all home for a moveable cache impromptu party!
It's like a cache event but without all the cachers!
Yes, there were six of them! Crystal Warrior had been busy too picking up three during the day.
Another milestone? The number of moveable caches coming together in once place during the race? Let's see if that record gets broken?
Anyway, now to put out for Crystal Warrior to pick up.....

This is a strange location with just a few buildings and the old gatehouse still in place. You will need to look inside the gatehouse, on the shelf in the left window under some wood. No need to enter the gatehouse, so this will be a very quick driveby.

Arrived home this evening from spending Christmas and New Years with the bf's family.
Spending time in the car not gathering too many caches, makes one a little stiff.
Went for a walk to place this the most southern place I could to get the most distance. (Which also happens to be in the vacinity of the GZ for one of my GC caches Bus'n Around.)
Hopefully this would have put a few clicks on its odometer.

YAY. My first NSW moving cache. =o)
Took me a while to find the cache's hiding spot even using the hint. The big tree nearby screwed around with the gpsr signal, had me all over the place.
Will this put a stop to blossom*s longest distance movements?
or, will it add more km's to its clock?!
Time will only tell! 'oP
(hopefully with support from the local cachers)

Sorry to Hunter/ Finder again. I'm surprised I still beat you because I had the old coords in the Tom Tom and drove all the way to a park in Epping only to realise the coords in the Vista were not the ones Tom Tom lead me too. Went back to Lane Cove Rd after a merry chase around this area trying to work out a way to get here. Both GPS's wanted me to go for a walk along the GNW. I finally remembered seeing an access point in the street directory. The M2 really played havoc with my navigational ability today. When I finally got there it couldn't have been easier. Took the water pistol and left a spinning top. I have already done your Birthday cache so no need to note the hint.
