Description
A movable cache placed for the GCA "Moving Cache Race" game.
Cache Me If You Can is C&C's first GCA cache and specially created to take part in the GCA "Moving Cache Race" game, however, after the game is concluded, it should be treated like any other GCA movable cache.
The rules of the "Moving Cache Race Game" are published on the Caching Games site, but basically if you find the cache, the idea is to move it to another suitable location of your choosing as soon as possible and provide the new location when logging the find. A picture of where you found the cache would be nice also.
The cache itself is a 200ml sistema, with log book, pen etc. The cache is equipped with a strong magnet in order to provide an alternative fixing method.
We don't have any specific goals or hiding requirements for this movable cache. Please just keep it in Australia, and don't take it anywhere too remote from major populaton centres.
Logs
The owner can re-enable this cache by checking that it is actually there then posting a 'published' log.
TFTC and the Leo.
Relocated to an area where water will hopefully not be a problem.

Thanks very much
Well JustinCBR never spotted us when we picked it up or he would have waved or hollered... so Captain Tomato has now left this in a nice spot in the nature reserve..
Found this one without too much trouble. Black Bunny will drop it somewhwere wonderful in the ACT tomorrow, I think. Probably when he's meant to be at work.
Must apologise...took cache to WA with me, however wasn't well and forgot to drop it whilst over there.
Now it is on its way again.
Alas, a long morning trying to get the geokids out of the house, a cold morning and dangerous terrain (for the little ones at least) meant that my search had to be short! At least the general hiding place was obvious!
... And then I re-read the logs and realise that rogpol and jenmen have (probably) been in kahoots again and already moved the cache on!
That's what I get for learning about a cache at 2am, and scheming about it instead of sleeping!
Great idea anyway, hope to see it around town!
Now to find another place for it to hide.
Love the idea of a moveable cache.
Found after skirting the Saturday AM breathalyzer in the car park, waved to the boys in blue and parked just up from the witches hats. I got some interesting looks but they were too busy with the clip boards and their own stats.
A quick find, now moving back west.
Placed in a small Grand Canyon between "the mountain" and "the campus".
What a great concept.

Moved it on quickly to a spot where I may place a cache shortly. Should be a quick find near the entrance to the Great North Walk at the park at Mt Wilberforce (West Pennant Hills). Love the coords I got!
A busy place with walkers and joggers at 8:00am.
Had a look at some of the old headstones with some very intricate masonry work on the way back to the car after the neighbor called out to us and had a bit of a chat.

The cache is not in the cemetery but you will have to walk thru it to get to the south slope where the cache is.
Don't get stumped!
Please spend some time exploring this historic place.
Will move this on probably tomorrow.
Mind you if "Missing the obvious" was an Olympic event I would be the Champion at it, so likely I missed it altogether.
Still not sure why this footpath goes round these trees!?!
Will move this week.
Whilst there have a look at the historical feature a horse watering trough when this was the main road.
And surprisingly this turned out to be a good spot to use the magnets!

I will be in Sydney on Wednesday so I hope to hide this very soon after I get there.
Added an original GCA pathtag and a new GCA Enigmatic Echidna pathtag for the next lucky finder.
This cache will be moving fast tonight then if the gods are aligned, off to another state later in the week.
A small hiatus may occur during transfer.
We apologise for the inconvenience

They've all split up - sort of..
Decided to grab some caches to make sure I had at least 1 to drop off somewhere before I go on holidays tomorrow.
Perfect!
Nabbed them all at once!
Sorry C@W, you snooze, you lose 'oP
Not in a traditional spot - ding ding buzzzzzzzz
Dropped this one with another.
Didn't check co-ordinates with google earth, bf left the wireless ariel in his top drawer at work.
Ready to go and grab!
(Oops, forgot to take a pic of the structure I grabbed it from, sorry.)
It's not on exactly the same structure I got it from, but it's a nice location.
There was also a FTF opportunity for me here so check out Possum crossing by 80degrees at the same time.
With The Empire collecting a movable cache earlier in the day, pocketrocket wanted one too!
Was lucky enough to pick this up and I will place in the north tomorrow.
TFTC, great location!
Many thanks to dcr, solomonfamily, pwags and caughtatwork
Fantastic - thanks
New co-ords to follow soon.
No need to walk in any garden bed for this one....
