Moving Cache Race
The game runs from 01-Dec-2009 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2010 23:59:59.
The idea of the game is to see how far the cache can move within the game
period.
Caches must be found and hidden at a new location by the same cacher (i.e. no mailing the cache to another cacher to hide).
There is no limit to the number of times other cachers can find / move the cache provided there is at least one other find / move in between.
There is no limit to the distance other cachers can move the cache.
Other entrants in the game may find / move the cache, but they must move it on within 2 days.
Prizes
There are 10 prizes on offer.
The cache that moves the furthest distance in the game period.
The cache that accumulates the most number of moves in the game period provided the owner hasn't already won a prize.
The cache that moves the furthest distance in the game period in a single move provided the owner hasn't already won a prize.
2 random cache owners who haven't already won a prize.
5 random cachers who move a cache in the game period
Please keep those “Reel Hot Wheels” moving long distances.

I picked the cache up from where it had been lodged in a stump in a Karrawatha Forest at Woodridge. I think I will have to find a location closer to the city.

Found quite easily today. Coords were quite a bit off, but the hint was precise. This spot probably deserves a permanent cache, so stay tuned 
It's been up in the Toowoomba district for quite a while now, and I'm heading off to the big smoke tomorrow, so will relocate it to somewhere down there.

I have moved this one up the range to a place near Toowoomba. The cache is now hidden at Geham Well. Geham Well can be found Driving North of Toowoomba towards Crows Nest. Just past Carbalah but before Geham State School, on the western side of the road. Geham Well was dug by Mike Moore and Frank Kranz in 1882 to a depth of 33meters. at a cost of 23 shillings and 6 pence. The water was used for stock and general consumption. There is a very safe parking spot adjacent to the well maintained historical site. Above co ordinates according to google earth are not spot on for the actual well but these are what my GPSr gave me three times using two different machines.

As this one has not been found since I relocated it I went and retrieved it today as I wanted to move the TB along. Will rehide this one tomorrow in the Toowoomba area.
4th
had no luck picking this one up - wondering if it is in a similar place to its previous hide? I found the area rather dark and sinister in late (very late) afternoon, and was a bit uneasy poking around under the bridge. Saw nothing that looked like a hiding place. Wondered if I'd got the co-ords wrong but it seems not. The little upside down animals in the trees certainly made their presence felt both noisewise and odour-wise.

Driving to Redcliffe today for a car service and a warranty claim. Quick grab at 0630. I left a TB here. Could the next person to find this cache please take the TB and log a grab from me on the GC traveller page. Will re hide this on before I head home. Finally got back to Nanango at 1930 after a fun day caching.

It's in a handy spot very close to where several busy roads meet or cross. Just off Bruce Highway northbound take Uhlmann Rd exit. Can be accessed from Uhlmann Road, and also from Morayfield road if coming from Caboolture, Burpengary or Nerangba. Bush on both sides of road where cache is placed so you can be safe from prying eyes. You can park right beside the cache. Had to find a place similar to where I found it and I have done just that. You may be tempted to go on for a swim at the Aquatic Centre but there's no time for that, you've got a cache to move. While you're here you could attempt Treking Trev's geocaching.com GC1QPHY "Hugh Log" just nearby if you have not already snared it.

My first moving cache! Picked up a couple of fast cars during the day to add to cache for the support and back-up crew. Never know when that spare axle or ashtry may come in handy............now how far can I take it? How about north of Brisbane.

Gentleman (and ladies) start your engines.
Where on the Gold Coast do you move a cache which is filled with model cars and other racing paraphernalia? You move it to the Indy err A1GP pit area.
This should be an easy drive by for anyone who wants to call in for a quick pitstop. Be aware "wheel spins", "burn outs" or generally "laying rubber" on departure is not necessary.

Finally caught one!!!
Thanks for the warning If about the spikey plants, as soon as my fingers began registering pain, I knew I was in the right spot.
Cache container is sitting next to me on the desk at home but I'll give a heads up and say that it will be replanted somewhere on the Gold Coast tomorrow (Saturday). Watch this space.

Well if someone is going to hide a moveable cache right outside where I work how can I resist grabbing it
I was still rubbing the sleep from me eyes this morning as I wandered across the carpark after yet another (yawn) nightshift.
A sudden urge to drop my sunglasses overcame me and after retrieving them I found that I had also picked up the Reel Hot Wheels cache as well
Fancy that....!!
Now for a ride into towne on my own set of pedal powered hot wheels

Spotted the feathers then found the cache - nice little hidey-hole - possibly worth a cache of its own.
Will see where I take it next, could go to Brisbane tomorrow.

This is a nice little bit of grass with a playground. Reel Hot Wheels might enjoy the narrow little windy streets around here and there's plenty of big hills too!

Coconut???? Ohhhhhh, I see! Very clever richary. I hadn't ever been on this bit of bike path before so it was good to check it out. That's what caching is for I reckon, to find things you didn't know about.

Oh this park looks familiar. Once upon a time another cache used to live here. I still remember those blackberry thorns and the neighbours are still suspicious every time someone parks in their cul de sac.
Now I'm starting to feel like a pirate who's been out plundering with 4 moveable cache race caches sitting here on my desk.

I've added a few orange cones to keep the cars on track and a sign to control all the spectators!
The cache is hidden in a nice park but as usual my gps only had about 8m accuracy. It ought to be pretty easy to pick the hiding spot though, it's quite a typical hide.

I found this one with no trouble. I've walked along here quite a bit so I was familiar with the area at least. Not sure where to hide it - most of my good ideas have been used up by past moves. I'll have to recycle some of them maybe?!

The above co ords were taken from Google earth as the original co ords seemed in the wrong spot, maybe cause the GPS batteries went flat whilst placing the cache
