Description
Summer's finally here! With daylight saving and warm balmy evenings, there's a chance to get a bit of exercise after work and that's what this cache is all about. As well as being in the Moveable Cache Race! (see the details here http://www.cachinggames.com/mcr/index.php)
It's a moving cache, but it needs to stay within the Sydney Olympic parklands so it keeps it's "fun and fitness" attributes. The idea is to make a bike ride around the parklands more fun, by finding and hiding a cache along the way as well.
In fact, this cache is to get blossom* fit! Every time someone moves the cache, blossom*s challenge is to ride around the parklands, find the cache and rehide it. So the more you move it, the fitter blossom* will become! And if you go for a ride to find and move the cache every time blossom* rehides it, you'll get the fittness benefits too!
There are a few simple rules
1. The cache must stay within the boundaries of the "Sydney Olympic Park Map" found on their official web site http://www.sydneyolympicpark.com.au/Visiting/maps Please rehide it in a parkland area, not the Town Centre among all the buildings.
2. When you find the cache, you must move and rehide it again that day and log the new co-ordinate before the end of the day.
3. You can find and move the cache as often as you like, as long as someone else was the last person to hide it (otherwise, you'd know where it was, and what's the fun in that!)
How do you log a moving cache? Easy, first write a "found" log which gives you a "smiley". Then write a second log for "moved" and enter the new co-ordinates and a clue.
There are some really great little spots all over these parklands so I hope you can all discover a few of them and show some to others in return. Help keep that cache moving and get blossom* on her bike as many days a week as you can!!!

Is this moveable cache still in the Sydney Olympic parklands? It seems a while since Blossom has got on her bike! 
Spotted at Lane Cove in the hands of Blossom*. Nice to finally catch up with this one before it heads off.
Thanks for the cache Strike-a-Light

Found at the fabulous ZEAMMAFF Event! at Concord West, NSW!
Lots and lots and lots of Leapfrogs and gnomes in attendance! It turned out to be a great day for all Leapfrog and Gnome lovers, a great event with great people attending, we all had a ball. Not a Frog or a Gnome but a moveable all the same.
Thanks to Zal for making it all happen!

This coving cache joined many frogs (as well as a few gnomes) to boot Zalgariath back to Europe at ZEAMMAFF. Things were really hopping as more and more frogs arrived during the afternoon, by the time the event had finished, over 55 movables had hopped onto the table. Of course, with that many frogs hopping around in one place, something was bound to happen, and one poor gnome was bumped to the ground, requiring a trip to gnome hospital and a serious stay there, but the less said about that the better.

On yer bike! Go and get it while it is still warm, no clever hide here since it is only to get you do do some exercise!
It has been a long time since I DNFed this one, but today I was not to be denied even though I had to wait for quite a while as there was a large mob of school girls waiting to board a couple buses and i did not want to loiter around until they had gone.
No problem finding the cache and it is on it's way to pastures new.

This is hidden not far from where Geolady hid only a few minutes earlier this afternoon. There is no hint for the hide this time - however if you are quick enough to find Geolady, this one will be an easy find.
I came looking for tadpoles and frogs, but only found a bike cache, which has been duly moved on within the hour.
This cache has been around for a while, good to se it still going - I last found it in Feb 2010, so abot time I dod so again.

What a great spot! I'd never noticed this before but it seemed a perfect spot for a moving cache.
Out looking for good froggie spots,it seemed appropriate to move this original Moving cach race gamepiece along.

Still no sign of Blossom, so I thought that I'd move it again.
And move it I did. I think I beat blossom* here to move the cache again. Now you'll have double the work
I found it, I took it for a drive and placed it very accessable but bike or foot! Get to it blossom* and get a move on

One of my favourite spots when I go walking with my girlfriend.
This one hasn't been found for quite a while so it is time that it moved. This is a great area, just a pity that muggles were sitting at GZ for the other nearby cache. TFTC
the board walk area has been fenced off. Access to the cache has probably been cut off. I did venture to the start of the board walk to have a look, but nothing was there.
Didn't go far as I just dropped in to leave National Treasure in it's place. Found a nice easy to grab hidey spot with a good log signing bench near-by. Thanks again for a bit of Olympic Park fun!
I knew the location as blossom* showed it off last time I was in town. Although the grass was not as long and I was smart enough to dodge most of the spiders this time! Don't despair, follow blossoms instructions and now you will find GA1689!

The cache is still there. I reckon roger must have had a "man's look"
Go in from the path through an area that has a group of little plants in cardboard tubes and walk past the fallen log in the direction it is lying. If you keep going, you will come to the edge of the area where the mangroves start and ahead of you and a bit to the right is a bit of a rise that makes a small island with green weedy groundcover. If you go across the dip to the island, there is a mangrove on the left edge that has a hollow in the trunk at hip height, with the cache and an oyster shell on top of the sistema.
My gps had trouble getting closer than 10m accuracy and my co-ords ranged a bit further north and east but it ought to be fairly obvious from this detailed description.

Sorry Blossom* I could not find it, I did find a likely tree with a hollow of sorts at the exact co-ords but no cache, I probably put too much trust in my GPSr and should have ranged a bit further.

I really liked this island and figured it was worth a hide today. You ought to be ok unless it's a king tide and pouring rain I reckon
Yeah! A lovely warm afternoon and I managed to get home in time to head off for a ride. As I rode up to GZ, there were 2 muggles sitting right opposite me chatting. Oh no, I thought! Then realised it didn't matter at all
So I began my search and I suspect they must have wondered what on earth i was doing. Only took a few minutes and I had the cache and was able to hop back on my bike and ride away.

Off you go Blossom*!! We rode out to the Armoury for an ice cream and then back along the river through the park to the ute. I had entrusted the re-hiding of the cache to my muggle friend... and naturally she chose to ride up the cool looking windy hill! Unfortunately it was muggle central, devoid of safe hides for a small cache and most importantly... home to "Urban Everest" so not the best spot. Eventually we got to another great area of the park and hid it just outside "The Loop"... good luck!

I started from the top of the hill at Woo-La-Ra and let the bike go and this is where it stopped Actually, I rather like this spot, there's a very interesting sign that explains the trees in this area so take a moment to read it when you stop by.

I don't recall it ever visiting the very western end of precinct before, so this seemed a good spot for it. At the easternmost group of trees in the group covered in pine needles.
It's been a while since I gave this one a move, but I was in the area today so grabbed it for a relocation.

Yeah! WInter's over and it's great to get out for a ride on such a fabulous morning. I hadn't been to this little spit of land, it's lovely so thanks guys for bringing me there Great hiding spot too, it took me a little while to spot it even though it was in plain sight!

Moved with Team Legomen in tow as driver. Ive logged this cache as moved on the 21st as TLM will log a find for the 20th that way it will look (correctly!) that this is still hiding where the pointer is!
For those of you a little confused... yes Nanango and Lizzy Moveables are also both listed at this spot, but only MOVE IT! is actaully here

Grabbed Zalgariath away from the boredom of watching his computer, checking what caches had been just been listed that were out of his range and headed to this.
What a shame that Blossom doesn't get out and cache close to home these days. It would be a lot cheaper for her to get on her bike and grab some of these rather than going to South Australia to notch up a few more smileys.
The trolls made this a bit difficult. We were concerned that it may have been placed below the high tide mark but all was fine.

Took us a little while at GZ to locate the damn thing but eventually we got there. Next we decided to create movable cache pandamonium by hiding this one at the exact same spot as where two other moveables are currently listed! hahaha
This is the only one currently residing there still so not to worry

A quick move a little further along the path and around the corner. A nice spot to rest the bike on the other side of the path. TFTC
After my function was over it was back out for more caching and find a spot to relocate this cache in the dark. I think it's about time Blossom* got this one again.
This cache was my primary target during some spare time today and I managed to get a car park very close to it. But a group of kids with skate boards where right on top of the cache so I went for a walk. An hour and 4 caches later I returned to find the area empty and a quick find before getting changed and heading to my function.
Thanks.

Found quickly and logged. Luckily I read the description before I ventured out so I knew I had to move it. Not being a local and not having internet all the time, I only moved it a little way because my next stop is the airport and I don't think blossom* would like to ride to Tasmania to retrieve this cache.
Thanks

Not the quitest spot but it is an interesting little area of water. The birds in such a small area tonight were amazing. Take the time to stop and look at the black swans nesting just near GZ.
Hadn't grabbed this one for a while so picked it up while checking on Mobility Stealth. I can remember when Blossom would ride out each time and move this after someone else had moved it.
I think old age must be catching up with her.

This is a great little spot. Well, I thought it was a bit of an adventure anyway! Low tide might be easiest and there is a nice clear approach from the path from the south where you won't need to push through long grass or shrubby plants.
There can be a zillion people riding, walking and jogging along here but that doesn't matter becasue once you've got the cache, you can take it away and it won't matter who sees where you've been!!
I love it when goole maps shows the cache in the blue of the water!!

Luckily I had a doctor's appointment today at Rhodes was able to get to Bicentennial Park and enjoy a really lovely walk afterwards. Along the way I sussed out several likely spots to re-hide the cache "when" I found it so it took quite a while to actually get to the right area.
Once there, the gps was pretty good but not quite stable enough for pinpoint accuracy. I wasn't quite sure what "traditional hide" meant but I was hoping it didn't mean "in the middle of lots of scratchy clumps" becasue there was a vast area to search in that case!!!
On the premise that there ought to be something obvious if only I looked at the right spot, I wandered around for about 10 minutes and began feeling quite sad that I might not get the chance to use any of my new hidey-holes that i'd found.
But then I saw the stone against the tree and immediatley knew I was in luck! Thanks guys, it was another fun search. I sat on the seat and listened to the frog's choir practice as I wrote in the log again. Isn't it a fabulous place?

Time for Blossom to go on the Hunt! Should be an easy find, Zac / Spindoc Jnr helped hide it 
Are my first moveable... I know where it is, should be just around the corner.. drat! Muggle right at GZ! Hang on... that muggle looks familiar. Cant be? It is! Spindoc Bob and Spindoc Jnr. They had just missed the Movable so I chipped in an leant a hand. We had a good chat and decided we would go seek another nearby GCA cache, Wentworth Wetlands, so we took this with us and re-hid it on the way to our next destination. Cheers Strikalight! Blossoms* Turn!

Zac and I rode over (actually he did the riding) to find this cache. After 15 minutes of searching all we found was a Rivercat, which we enjoyed watching.
As we sat an pondered why we missed it, we bumped into Zalgariath. After we returned to GZ, he found it straight away.

This is a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the view in the evening. I hope the co-ords are ok as I didn't have a pen with me to write them down!
This was a bit of a shambles! I printed the cache details first thing this morning at work and planned to leave right on time. Well THAT didn't happen. The buses seemed to have all disappeared once I left work so I was pretty late getting home. Not to worry, grabbed the bike, changed my gear, got the gps and a notebook and pen and headed off. Oh, I might just look at the cache on google maps to see the best way to get there........
Oh! It's moved! Well THAT was lucky! I headed off to a spot that was a fair long ride from home and found the cache but it was getting pretty late and closer to dark. Figured I might take a short cut across the river but the ferry wasn't going the right way so I rode all the way around and got home just after dark. It's a real shame summer has to end.

Hey, that's in the middle of the water. How do I get there? Was a little puzzled when I looked at the map on the GPS but thought Blossom wouldn't have gone swimming to place this, so there must be an access point.
Headed one direction after reaching the edge of the mangroves and finally decided this is too hard. Retraced my steps and heade in the other direction and once the distance was close headed into the swamp.
Cache soon spotted, great location.

This is a quiet backwater and hidden haven for the local birdlife. Long grass along the way will be wet and sticky if there's a heavy dew. And a liberal spray of aeroguard might be handy too!
I left work a bit early today to be sure to have my ride in daylight. It's very sad to see the days getting shorter. This was a nice little spot to watch the birdlife with not a soul in sight at 6pm or so.

Tried for another spot with water views. Don't think they allow swimming here.
These spots are lovely early in the morning. Short walk from Newington brought me straight to the cache.

There's a seat positioned right here that gives the perfect view down the river. You can see the correct tree on google maps (again) so you shouldn't need the clue.
Aaaarrrh!!!! I printed this out on Thursday but didn;t have time to get to it as it's starting to get dark earlier these days and i don;t much like riding the bike then. So I figured I'd have a lovely ride in the early morning freshness. It was great with a king tide making eveything quite different along the river.
I had a quick check on the map before I went and the cache hadn't moved from it's spot - or so I thought. Got to the spot and searched, gps was perfect, clue was spot on but not a cache in sight! After a while, my brain began to wonder if geomatica might have grabbed it after work but not logged it's next move. Quick call, nup. OK, a call to home and some rather painful time stepping through how to get on the computer and look up a cache on the web site to someone who doesn't know anythng about the internet.
Ah-ha! New co-ords in hand and the cache was found. If only I'd known it was so close, I could have found it so easily but it never occurred to me it had moved but such a short distance.

I was going to just grab the other cache that was with this, then decided to move it too - about 20feet I reckon. I even reused the camo.
grabbed on the way home from work - ready for a BIG move......

So that it wouldn't get lonely it now has company. In the words of Tim Shaw "but wait, there's more". Pick this up and you will also get a set of steak knifes or another GCA cache.
What a lovely spot early in the morning. The fish were indeed jumping and the water looked nice (not that I think I'd want to swim here).
Rated: for Overall Experience
Sit and watch the fish jumping here. It's amazing how often they seem to jump, I wonder why? You shouldn't need the hint, goole maps seems to show you the correct tree to look at (if you can't guess, it's a casurina!)
Great to be back on the bike after a bit of a break. It seems my legs have lost their fitness yet again as I was pretty tired after today's ride! Thanks geomatica, good to have you back from holidays although I'm not sure about the "bush" part of the clue - more like a spikey clump than a spikey bush 
Great little path to ride along here.

Now here's a nice spot I prepared earlier!!I went for a ride back in November sussing out good cache locations and this was a spot I'd found and prepared. Ideal time to use it I reckon. Geomatica might like a lunchtime walk, Ropes might like a morning's ride or Team Lego Men might like a quick before-work drive-by! Of course anyone else may want to find out what all the fun's about too and jump in and join the game.
After finally getting my bike back with new gear change thingy, it was great to get out for a really long ride today. There was heaps of water everywhere and all the grass areas were very water logged. The parkland near this hiding spot was absolutely covered in ibis digging in the swampy ground.
I'd had a look at this spot for a cache myself but hadn't got very far in my thinking so it's great to see it used. Hope there's a new one there real soon!

This should still be a nice walk for geomatica at lunch time or a great bike ride for anyone else! Good spot to sit and watch the world go by and you could ponder the question of whether paperbark is more likely to keep a cache dry than broken bits of roof tile?
Thanks geomatica, you certainly have a nice view from your window. I thought you might be working back a bit tonight so we could have a coke at the drink machine when I'd found the cache! Don't forget me if a nice job comes up in your office there
It was a VERY long walk from Concord West railway station to this hiding spot(my bike is being picked up today from it's repairs thank goodness). After about half an hour's walk to get here, I figured I might catch the ferry across the river rather than walking back to the train and luckily a ferry that wasn't supposed to stop pulled in and gave me a lift.

Move a little closer to my window and view of the new location overlooking the water.
Woo Hoo...
Finally got around to participating in this cache. I guess it helped that Team Legoman put it within arms reach of where I work.
Nice spot, busy in the mornings what with walkers and cyclists.
Now, Lynn, Move It!
Thanks Kevin for the cache.

Nice spot at the northern end of the park. Geomatica can keep an eye on it. In amongst the casuarinas with river views.
Headed off in the wrong direction, I didn't have my glasses and saw a cache on the GPS screen and finally found I was heading for Stick in the Mud.
Retraced my steps and found the small track which was a muddy walk this morning. Had concerns that with the high tide the cache may be underwater but all was fine. Plenty of birds around this morning. Nice spot.

Another quiet little byway in this very diverse park. Follow the marker posts until the clue
Nice spot Lego Men - casurinas! I had actually thought of hiding this cache here when I was over this way recently so I had a pretty good idea what the area looked like. Thanks for the outing

Short move, possibly one of our last in this competition. Left it in a nice area of casuarinas. Come on Blossom, get out there.
Another easy pick up. The hint certainly made it a quick find which was lucky as the weather was looking pretty crook.

I thought I'd hide this somewhere on a straight line between the last spot and Concord railway station! But in the end, I went for a walk around the lake and found a really great little spot to relax and had to hide it there instead. Take a seat and enjoy the view while you write in the log.
With my bike out of action it was a long walk to find this hiding spot! But a very clever hide, thanks Hunter/Finder. Luckily Ropes didn't beat me to it this time, I would have been annoyed to have walked so far in vain!!

Placed this one in a fairly easy spot for blossom* to find and retrieve.
There is another GC cache nearby that you could try as well.
