Description
This was my entry into the moving cache race 2009/2010
I didn't win andy prizes from the competition, but it was great to see my cache moving around, and I enjoyed shuffling the other caches around, too. For more information on the race, and how it finished up, see www.cachinggames.com/mcr/
Although the race is over, the cache lives on. All are welcome, to find and move it along.
THIS IS A MOVEABLE CACHE - pick it up, take it with you, and hide it somewhere else within two days. Be sure to record accurate coordinates at the new location and log that new location!!! Feel free to enter a hint as well if your hide is a little tricky. The cache is a 200ml Sistema container painted black. Its journey began in Salisbury (SA) and it's free to roam anywhere in Australia.

I found it but it wasn't where skydog left it. It had been dislodged or muggled and I found it very close by in amongst the broken glass and rubbish. The log book revealed a muggle had found it. He/it/she even bothered to date and sign the logbook with a few profanities , no name left BUT they did say they had wrapped it in cling wrap. It was neatly wrapped and put back in the cache, which is intact. Then just thrown into the rubbish heap.
I've moved it to a much more cacher friendly spot, that you will very much enjoy if you like a walk through the bush.

Disappointing to DNF this one just in respect I hope it hasn't gone missing 
. It was raining and didn't get out the GPS and just went with the clue and google maps view. So everyone chance I just plain missed it. Hoping the next looker can find it.

Co-incidentally the Engadine District News came in today and reported on a piece of obscure Australian military history, so I thought I'd share it.
The cache is across the road from a little known park called Veno Reserve in Veno St., Heathcote.
28 March 2010 marks the 100th anniversary of the first transmission over land for military purposes. On March 28, 1910 Lieutenant George Taylor sent a wireless telegraph to Helensburgh. The apparatus used to transmit the signal was a 3 or 5 inch coil, three Leyden jar condemsers, mercury break with a battery of 8 volts and the earth wire being attached to a newly cut bark of sapling.
The Heathcote RSL sub-branch will be holding a special presentation at Veno Reserve on Sunday 28th March.
Check out the commemorative plaque across the road on the corner of Princes Hwy and Veno St
The cache is attached underneath next to the pole. It's an easy find as you're driving past on the Princes Highway.

Had to go out to drop off some scouts heading on for a canoeing camp, so decided to drop off this cache in a spot with a nice view.
I got better reception at GZ up high, but the cache is amost below you if you do the same.
My first movable cache - an interesting concept.

grabbed with the olympic park movable.
Nice little spot it was in, though the paspalem was very long and sticky too.

So that it wouldn't get lonely it now has company. In the words of Tim Shaw "but wait, there's more". Pick this up and you will also get a set of steak knifes or another GCA cache.

This had been sitting for a while and I was heading into town for a meeting. What caches are nearby? This came up. Can't say I enjoyed searching for it at GZ. I have never seen so many needles in such a small area, had me worried. Workmen nearby spotted me and asked what I was doing. Told them I was on a treasure hunt. The good thing about moveables is you don't have to try and retrieve the cache unnoticed. Grabbed it and bolted.

We found this in between rain showers. It has been moved close to one of our favorite watering holes, not much to look at on the out side, but a great place to relax and have a beer

Dropped next to the former worst RSL club ever! Dropped in to look at becoming members when I first moved to Marrickville thinking maybe they had Pool tables and a nice bar area. Only thing they had was Poker Machines and a Strip show on Friday and Saturday nights!
Ever been to an RSL where instead of "please be silent for the Last Stand" they have an announcement to remind patrons that "it is not permitted to touch the artists"!
Cache is hidden close to the 30ft poster of the "Artists"
Bit of trivia, the "club" parts of the Australian movie "Clubland" were filmed inside.

From 1 park to another. This one is closer to the airport.
Hid it while picking up my new Garmin Map GPS. Check out the shop near the park.
Good luck ma77hew's mobile.

An easy pick-up thanks to Yurt's great placement. Just as well as the temp was too hot to be trekking about for too long.
Will try to find a suitable place for this to continue it's travels.

Thanks to 'If' I managed to find this one without my GPS which some idiot had helpfully packed in their checked luggage! The description and hints were good enough for me to find it without it. Muggly area of course but I got it after accidentally knocking it off the post further into the bushes meaning I had to dig around. Nothing suspicious about me!
Because it was such a good spot I hid "Reel Hot Wheels" in the same place. Also because I didn't have a GPS to log the coords!
Anyhow this little cache is off to Sydney to see if it can challenge the leaders.

As promised I rehid this cache within easy reach of the check in counters of the BNE domestic terminals
I don't think I could have got it any closer without actually checking it in at the baggage counter
Noice and handy to the Airtrain, Jeststar or Virgin Blue.
If you're travelling Qantas you will just have to stretch the legs that little bit more
To grab the cache you will not even have to leave the covered walkway to the carpark.
PS: I've taped a magnet inside the cache (now there's a hint).

I found this one totally by accident this morning while out on a push bike ride
The reason I was in the area was that I was hoping to find a puzzle cache that seems to have something to do with Matthew (as in the bible) but may just as well be based on a 1980's Blondie song
It was pure coincidence that I ended up next to the bridge where the cache was hidden and saw a tell tale muddy footprint where no footprints should normally be !!
And guess where I'm going to rehide this one in the next couple of days.
As close to the BNE domestic terminal as I can
VOZ, QFA, or JST ?

If anyone can move this cache to right near the domestic terminal of Brisbane airport I can get it back to Sydney next week. Monday or Thursday are the days I'll be passing through BNE. Thanks.

Come for a one-way drive to find this one. But if you are on your push bike you can go both ways on this track.
Dropped off while Goekid at kindy.
