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.

We thought we'd drop by on the way home from Newcastle and meet this cache again but it was not to be. Never mond, it turned out to be a great spot so we reused it!
25th
This was supposed to be a quick nip out before breakfast....
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!

Never thought I'd do a GCA until I received an overnight request to collect this "drive-by" enroute to the Bathurst area... oh well it was only another 40 mins to the trip.
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.

Found this in the park at Epping. Muggle mum over the fence with the kiddie might have been watching me but I took a lot of interest in the trees with my "tree assessor" and it was easy just to find the cache and leave. Good to see one left from the Moving Cache Race still going. Mine's dead in SA I think.
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!

The sign said 50km/h. That's obviously too fast to grab a cache. Pull up, get out of the car and 50km/h has a new meaning. Nice hide. Moving on tomorrow.

Found this one without a GPS. All we could remember about it was the rough location. Signed the log but left it in its spot for another cacher who was also after it.
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.

Ok we know someone who was trying to get here before us so we found with out a GPS and logged our names in book. The Best part was that as we headed out a bloke over the fence called out did you find it? It seems he found it will taking a walk the other day read the Caching ID card and put it back. We answered a few questions for him and he seemed to like the idea.

Don't get stumped!

Went for a bike ride this morning and picked this one up from it's nice little hidey hole. Shall drop off somewhere suitable in the next week or so.

Thought I might beat the rain, but no such luck, got very wet. To make things worse no luck finding the cache either. I am pretty sure I had the right spot but nothing to be found.
Mind you if "Missing the obvious" was an Olympic event I would be the Champion at it, so likely I missed it altogether.

An early morning trip to Mt Vesuvius but no Moving Cache. I'm not sure where it's gone. There seemed to be a few newcommers logging the GC cache here so perhaps one of them took it and hasn't yet worked out what to do? Or maybe someone has it along the highway and just hasn't logged yet.

Since it was so easy to find right next to another cache, I figured right IN another cache would be even better! Grand National can be found at http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=gc1vfgg
And surprisingly this turned out to be a good spot to use the magnets!

It's VERY close to c@w's GCA cache, and also right near a short offset GC hide. Convenient for the inner-west teams, and only a short distance across the WG Bridge for those over the other side.

It's not a long-distance move, but it will still give you some "points" for the game, and also gives solomonfamily a chance to grab it again in case they really want to make the trip to Shepparton this weekend.

I noticed this one before I left for work this morning, but I wasn't sure of the rules pertaining to the game and I didn't know whether it was ok for non-players to pick up these caches. After checking up on this during the day at work, it was just a 200m diversion on my way home to pop into this familiar park and retrieve it. Not that it matters now, but it was lucky there was a good hint, as I felt the co-ords were about 20m off - but, after a quick check, I headed for the nearest thing that matched and there it was. I'll probably replace it tomorrow, but I know a team that's heading a long way north shortly and I might check with them first.
Thanks Coffee&Cache

The initial position is in an area of natural bush in a great little park quite close to C&C's home.
It should not present any difficulty to the finder, and is hopefully, just out of sight of most muggles visiting the area. Watch out for snakes! You will find two GC caches quite close by as well.
There is a gate (South side), it just isn't very obvious.
