Having risked life and limb retrieving Surge Upwards from the rat-infested purlons of the Hackney Bridge, decided to wreak sweet vengeance. Cache is now hidden high up within another metallic structure.
Terrain rating 5...

... for an ant.  

25th

Retrieved after a string of unsuccessful attempts and a chat to the previous hider. Realised that I'd been focussing my search too narrowly and that there was a second interpretation of the clue description that required extra clambering through the bridge-struts to retrieve! And, yes, it IS disgusting up there!!! Will move the cache on some time soon. Cheers from Featherwaite.
 

7th

We too followed the hint to a tee and could not spot anything. Mr Wibble climbed up and out and had a good look around, nearly giving Mrs Wibble a heart attack in the process given he was doing the climbing in bike cleats. In the end we started to wonder if we were misinterpreting the hint. We decided to leave this for another finder as we didn't want to continue risking 4+ terrain climbing on a cache that's only "officially" 1.5 star terrain!
 

31st

Still there, the climb up and out is disgusting, but quite an adrenaline rush. It is still in plain view from the bike path but I'm happy to help anyone who is struggling to see it.  

20th

Very dissapointed to not find this one. We spent quite a while here, and followed the hint to a tee. I even done a bit of climbing to get a better view of the hiding spot. After broadening our search, we simply decided that someone else must have already moved it on.
 

18th

We will be staying just around the corner from this cache, on Melbourne Street, tomorrow night. Will see if we can be the next to move it along.

Moved to a place close by I've been meaning to hide a cache at until I realized that Have a Shot at this was so close by.
This placement is a little more difficult to get to that the previous locations and probably deserves !!!! at least 4 stars of Terrain!!!

It shouldn't be too hard to see from the southern path
The coordinates aren't prefect so if you need some help see the hint  

29th

Found quickly without a GPS during lunch today, I was able to treat me sadistic side with the new hide

After performing a GC rescue from tb-rescue.com I headed down to the Torrens to admire some new engineering handywork. A new curved bridge not yet shown on Google Maps! Nice!  

22nd

G1 (Mike) from Green Gecko Gang happens to sit next to Trigg-A-Nomics and spotted it on his whiteboard. G2 (Bindi) also works in same office, and as we are both engineers it was logged with our qualifications. Left to Trigg-A-Nomics to move it on. TFTC!

This cache is currently attached to my whiteboard at work. Our project employs roughly 100 engineers and a pair of fellow geocaching engineers will pick it up shortly!  

17th

A perfect cache for an engineer! Found it after expanding my search the second time, there were just so many of those damn seats!

The new Adelaide Zoo extension is a great bit of Architectural and Engineering Art. I'm a big fan of functional art and they've done this extension very well!

15th

A lovely afternoon for sitting outside the zoo, or so a large number of muggles thought! I waited until they almost all cleared out and then made a quick search but couldn't come up with the goods. I'll have another look tomorrow morning.

My kids wanted to go to the zoo, so I took Surge with me. The new entrance is so different from the old. Very modern. Finding a carpark was a huge issue. Pandas! Puh! Who cares? You'll need to take care about when you look for this, as it can be busy at times. I hid it towards the end of the day and it was pretty quiet.  

8th

So ... Surge is again in my hands ... last time it sat a long time where I left it so this time I'll try to place it in a spot that is likely to get it moved soon.

Moved it to the nearest cache to my house.

Would you believe I found this on the way home from the Wagga Wagga Mega event. After dropping off one of our travelling companions we came down this road on the way to home and I finally was able to stop and find the cache. Yay!

Wanted this to move quickly so head up to where the Victor Harbor - Mt Compass & Goolwa - Mt Compass roads meet. Hopefully someone heading back to Adelaide will grab soon and move on again.  

25th

Picked on way home from work.

Sorry, Mobility Stealth was taken back to Adelaide at the end of the event, but the 'find' hasn't been logged yet.  

24th

It would be great if we could have a photo with Mobility Stealth as they are both in the same area

Take 'Action' and move this cache  

18th

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.
 

18th

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.....  

18th

Very nice of BB to drop off so conveniently! A quick ride in the lift to nab it! No GPS required. Will move southside later in the day.

Yay its on the move again
 

17th

We have just heard from the previous hider that the container is no longer where they left it!
We would hope that it has been moved on as intended, but as it has not appeared elsewhere since then, we fear for its existence now.  

17th

Thanks to everyone that is looking for it, it is a fair bet that it is lost

It was great while it lasted - I will keep it active until after the race finishes on the remote chance it turns up but it is well and truly in the state of MIA, oh well it is all part of the game.....

Cheers

17th

We had a fruitless search this morning and are still attempting to contact the previous hider  

17th

Will be checked today  

17th

Thanks Phetlern... I also emailed the hider on 4th January after my DNF, but didn't receive a reply. Let's hope that the cache is still there somewhere!  

17th

NOTE: Given the DNF's I have emailed the last hider on 15th Jan requesting they check the location to establish if the cache has been muggled.  

16th

Quick drive by grab with the cache blending in nicely in its hide. Will move it on to the ACT

Buggered it we could find this cache today.
It was very hot out, so we may have missed it in passing, but I think you may be out of the race.

We made it in to GZ this afternoon, but no sign of the cache. It was amazing to see this area, in particular the damage caused back in February by the Black Saturday fires. A lot of houses lost around here!

We searched at the foot of every black tree in the area - there isn't really anywhere else it could be hidden. I am familiar with this cache, as I was the FTF on 1st December, so I knew what I was looking for. Hopefully someone else beat me to it today, and it's now on its way somewhere else.

27th

A quick trip to Shepparton to pick up the caches who had languished for too long and take them for a drive.
 

26th

I had not noticed that a few of these movable caches were lurking in the area for some time. We will do our best to keep them moving on.
 

21st

If this cache is still here by the time we come back from our holidays in the near year, we'll take a detour via the long way home and I'll make the bf pick them up and will re-hide closer to Melb.

Surge Upwards has been relocated to Ballarat under the same device as Whatever Happens, Happens. This should give some decent k's to the cache and allow some of the regional locals to join in the moving fun.  

1st

Found and removed by caughtatwork.
What a hoot, 4 caches under the same letter box.
Now that makes for easy drive by caching.
I haven't time this afternoon to rehide, but they will be out and about tomorrow.
Depending on whether the child wants to go for a driving lesson, they may be close, they may be far, far away.
Thanks Solomonfamily for this caching fun today.

Very obvious, and worth a "few" smileys for the person who finds it!

Engineering report has ben left in the logbook.

Go get it!  

1st

*FTF* 1/12/09. We grabbed the coordinates for this and three others at the stroke of midnight, and headed out for the FTF. A quick grab and run at a very quiet location, which I recognised easily from my time at this fine establishment.

We'll be placing it tomorrow, so stay tuned.

Let the game begin!

EDIT: 29/1/10... Confession time. We actually found this one six hours before it was published, thanks to a "spoiler" photo that appeared on GCA. Mwahahaha!
