Thats pretty much it.

This cache looks like it's MIA so we'll archive it to stop it turning up in lists and queries. If it resurfaces then the owner can resurrect it by placing an "Unarchived" log against it.
Thanks Budgie for dropping him off.
I will give him some TLC with a new log book, some new swaps and maybe a lick of paint

Been a while since we last saw this cache. It was one of the first moveables we found, stuck to a guard rail between Launceston and Hobart.
What would cachers do without guard rails? True to tradition, this cache is back out. Guess where!

Red Tags Entry is out and about in a spot conveniently near the highway.
Found it on our way to North Hobart for takeaways. An impressive tally of kms! Will have to find somewhere good to leave it. TFTC
Moved this cache while out and about today. It has a "Tiny" friend nearby
Grabbed this whilst out and about checking on some frogs that have gone missing.
Found quickly after discounting the nearby metal structure and moving over to where Tim Tam was with her GPSr.
Was expecting it to be stuck to something but no, it was sitting in a hole, covered well and just enough not-natural look to stand out, for me at least.
Thanks red tag, will rehide soon

Not much to do today so we went caching. Havent found this one before and we were in the area so why not.....Quick find once at GZ with Swampy. One of us will move it along soon
From the eaches to the mountains. Back in Hobart. Parking at the cache location. Should be a quick grab and run.
Found while in Ulverstone.
Will drop back in Hobart or somewhere on the way back

Planted where it could have bin!!! Do the right thing!!
Found on the way north or a couple of events for Kids. NQ knew the way so it was an easy find for me.

Ooops. My humble apologies for having this for so long. Life got in the way of caching. Today I was determined to get it back out into the field ... except that it's not exactly a field, rather a convenient large tract of remnant bushland not far from the Botanical Gardens upper car park. Happy hunting.
Oooh, I haven't seen this one for a while! This was an unexpected "find" while at the Magic Meal event. I didn't know it was here, I didn't go looking for it, but somehow it found me (it was passed on by the CarrollEyre clan). I shall take it southwards, and hope to have it out next weekend.
Handed over to the custody of clan CarrollEyre after the Magic Meal.
Hey, something that's not a frog. Whoops, there's a frog inside! Hang on, that's the frog we put there in June. Can't escape these amphibians.
Placed the package in a great little spot. Stop and look at the ocean you may just relax a little and enjoy the moment.
We grabbed this little package on our way past today. Will move it on to another location.
Sorry everyone I had misplaced this cache. He is now back in circulation and waiting to be picked up.
Relocated. Took green frog and replaced with red frog.
Best approach is from Alanvale Rd.

A little delayed, but finally found the cache a new home until it is found by the next keen cacher. Left it in a lovely area not far from a pretty river and bridge. Checked GPS reading when we got home and it looks like it may be a tiny bit out. Another reading is s42 26.243 e147 08.898. Whichever gets you close to the metal!
What a lovely park, beautiful day. TFTC. Will head south shortly.

Come get me I'm in a park with a view
2 for 1 Movables! Placed here overlooking the lake and the golf course with Giggles the Gnome
Second time around on this cache. It is travelling with me at the moment and will be back out there in the near future. TFTC and cheers; OldSaint.
The slightly annoying thing about moveable caches is that you have to actually, um, move them. We dropped it off in Fernglade on the way home, beside a gnome who has been there since before New Year's. Fernglade is looking a bit bedraggled after all the floods and storms but is still a very pretty place to visit.
Well, a moveable sistema isn't as fun or exciting to find as a gnome. (I miss the gnomes. ) But it was nearby and another GCA cache for the tally, so why not. The cache was found with a gigantic slug lounging on it, as well as its (or something's) little eggs. I don't think anyone really wants slugs or eggs as swaps so we respectfully removed them...

Got it out again but rehid in not quite the same fashion as I found it.
Picked up on our way through to Penguin for a squash and caching weekend.
Will place out soon

Guard rail on the side of the road at popular truck stop. Should be an easy find, although well hidden.
opps looks like I have the wrong co-ordinates - I will get from home and update log....... opps

Found on way to Launceston. The area was home to 1000's of flying insects. Luckly the cache was found very quickly. A few of the bugs decide to come with me in the car and was continually swatting them when they landed. Will move the cache a fair bit northward

Northbound traffic might find parking difficult, but you may utilise a roundabout just North of the bridge in order to be facing the other way. Also, there are road works in progress at certain times of the day.
But there are plenty of swans to look at...

And back out think pine tree and Tasgeocaching requirements
Moved to take in the new bypass while picking this one off.
[Parking, take left a roundabout heading south, parking to your left.]

Fun heading south with Geo-Daughter will move on

Well I am a naughty girl as I was only going to move this a short distance for something to do
265km is a tad more than I meant to move it.
Its now back in the south and you need to be heading south to get it

Well! Well!! Well!!! Some people will do anything to stop boredom. No wonder I couldn't find it. Owner moving own cache - what's next in the world of geocaching???? Hope it was a hole in one. (LOL) Cheers OldSaint.
not sure if this is allowed but I picked it up myself.
Not claiming a find just thought I would move it cause I couldnt resist the temptation

Quickly moved on. On the other side of the road is safe parking, and an art work that my daughter was involved in about 20 years ago. Take time to look at it and also enjoy the view.
Don't let this cache enjoy this magnificent view for too long.
Seems quite some time since this cache was mobile - seems to have been the "immovable cache". So, it has been retrieved and will be relocated in the next day or so. TFTC
Placed after a Regional Scouting Event in Ulverstone. The kids and I were exhausted but a little caching was a pick-me-up especially for Lil who really likes the current hide because you can see Mt Roland from the look out. Not in a magnetic location.....
Hooray the cache and I cross paths thanks to Dean Erwin who placed the cache at the right place as I had a wiring job to do in Port Sorrell today. So I just had to stop and find the cache, surprisingly enough it was exactly where I expected. The cache will be out on Saturday afternoon after a scout event in Ulverstone.
Sorry CarrolEyre... you might have to visit Port Sorell to fetch it.
Missed it twice in two days by only a few hours.....can't be long before we cross paths again.
Picked this one up this morning and will get it out again soon. We had the pleasure of meeting Neribil near to GZ keeping an eye on the cache.
Its back out there in the North. You will need to turn the bend for this one.

I've been intending to pick this one up after work for ages. Figured it was now or never for this location...
Oops sorry. Ok, maybe not quite 'tomorrow', but at least it is now back out.
Grabbed it from a very Spiky Bridge, and have brought it back home to Kingston. Will put it back out tomorrow!
The race is over

and best of all I didnt come 5th in any of the catagories
The cache how now been edited to be a typical moveable cache

The joys of not updating a find straight away eh Cheesy?! Polfil we thought the cache had gone AWOL. Relieved it's still out there and alive and well. Was so sure it'd get snaffled sooner than it did!

Hello Cheesy Pigs, when did you pick it out? WE found it at 8:10 this morning. What is going on?
Duplication rock. Safe place to park for a quick grab for anyone heading North over the weekend
Taken into custody from under Cheesy's watchful gaze.
Be free again shortly
