Description

One of our entries in 'Weeping Angels', the '13/'14 moving cache race.

In Christian Scriptures, Gabriel and Michael are the only angels mentioned by name.

 The name of the angel Raphael appears in the Book of Tobit, which is only considered canonical by Catholics, Orthodox, and some Anglicans. Raphael first appears disguised in human form as the travelling companion of Tobit's son, Tobiah, calling himself "Azarias the son of the great Ananias". During the course of the journey the archangel's protective influence is shown in many ways including the binding of a demon in the desert of upper Egypt. After returning and the healing the blind Tobit, Azarias makes himself known as "the angel Raphael, one of the seven, who stand before the Lord".  He is often venerated and patronized as Saint Raphael the Archangel.

THIS IS A MOVEABLE CACHE - pick it up, take it with you, and hide it somewhere else within two days.  Be sure to record accurate coordinates at the new location and log that new location!!!  Feel free to enter a hint as well if your hide is a little tricky.

This angel begins its journey in Salisbury East, SA and is free to roam anywhere in Australia.

I really can't imagine where else this could be hidden.

I stopped and had a look for this one today, but found nothing. The base of the turn sign has only wood chips around it, so I pushed some of them out of the way in case it was buried, but I think this one might be long gone.

Dropped off "on the way to work", near my old work place.
Raphael Don't Blink is currently hiding under a small bush (a Correa I think), on the right hand side of the footpath as you enter gate 43.

A short drive and a long walk from the other Angels in Cobbler Creek and I had my third FTF in three searches. Probably the only time I'lll get to do that.
Raphael was sitting in a Garden of Memories that once again thanks to Geocaching, I never knew existed. Plus there's a Multicache, that I didn't have loaded on the GPS, so I'll have to come back another day.
Thanks for the chase today Ma77hew and Kay, I had a great time walking through the park. Clapping
