Logs
Dropped off near the Penneshaw Ferry Terminal on Kangaroo Island
In the area looking for a GC cache and thought this movable has been here long enough (53 weeks), will find a new home for it soon
The last stop of the day, on the way back to town was to pick up this foreboding little figure
Will move it along quickly so that I can resume blinking
Cheers & TFTC Briggbottoms

According to Wikipedia...
Whiteman Park is a 4,000-hectare (9,900-acre; 15 sq mi) bushland area located 22km north of Perth, Western Australia. The park is in the suburb of Whiteman, in the Swan Valley in the upper reaches of the Swan River. It encompasses the source of Bennett Brook - an important nyoongar location, and source of mythology of the Wagyl and stories about aboriginal occupancy of the area. Whiteman Park is known for its biodiversity, including over 450 endemic plants and more than 120 vertebrate animals (some of which are rare and endangered). Over 17% of Western Australian bird species occur in Whiteman Park, including migratory birds attracted to the habitat provided by Bennett Brook and associated wetlands including Grogan's Swamp, a Conservation Category Wetland. The state government purchased the land from a variety of private owners in 1978, to protect the underlying aquifer as a drinking water source for Perth. The major owner was Lew Whiteman (1903–1994), after whom the park is named.
Whiteman Park includes bushwalking trails, bike paths, sports facilities and playgrounds. The park is also host to heritage transport groups and their collections: The Perth Electric Tramway Society runs a 4km electric tram journey around the park, running a tram that used to be in service on the Fremantle network. Caversham Wildlife Park; Bennett Brook Railway; The Tractor Museum of Western Australia; The Western Australian Motor Museum; Bus Preservation Society of Western Australia; and Revolutions Transport Museum.

Picked up. Was out this way on my way to a nearby trig with Lazarus when we decided to pick this one up as it has been sitting here a while. Had a little trouble locating 'Your Uncle' as the coordinates were out by 22m. Luckily Lazarus the last hider was with me and managed to eventually remember where the cache was located. Will drop off in the metro area to get some more movement on the cache.

Tucked away in the trees with 2 friends.
Found Your Uncle hidden away with Vassago and friend at the base of a tree. They had been there since before Christmas so were pleased to be picked up. Will move them on soon.
Out with Just a cacher to grab a few moveable caches to mix them up a bit over the holiday season.
A quick grab today.
Thanks for the cache Briggbottoms

#GA179 - 15:45; I headed out on a wet weather mission this afternoon with MrDamage. We decided Mt Stromlo looked promising and it turned out that way. Picked up this little angel as part of a small angelic choir in residence on the hill! Will keep it moving on. TFTC Briggbottoms

Found this in the carpark at Commonwaelth Park and thought I had taken it to Contemplation Point in Yarralumla, but I guess that didn't happen given the other logs.
A nice easy grab during the rain today.
Will move on shortly.
Thanks for the cache.

I AM SO SORRY.
I took him down to Melbourne. I couldnt find anywhere decent to hide it (is that really my excuse?)
I took him to a scout camp where I KNEW there were other GCA'ers around
I took him all over canberra.
And i forgot till Sol emailed me today.
I have hung my head in shame.

Blink and you’re dead.
Don’t turn your back.
Don’t look away.
And don’t blink.
Good Luck.
Gah! Took him home with me and i'm already frightened!

No doubt there will be lots of interest in this cache later today...
One last angel collected at the event this evening to take back to the ACT with me - this looks very similar to the one constructed with a 3D printer, only a mini version. TFTC.
Discovered this little one at the Event today. Tricky but very novel way to log this one. Thanks for the cache Briggbottoms.
Spotted this at GC event at Perry Lakes in Perth. Left for others to move along.
Hiding in a very unusual tree near a bridge
Found with another angel on the way back from Geraldton will move on soon

Don't look away, don't blink and don't fall in!
Quick easy find. Would have been quicker had I spotted that this was an Angel a few hours previous when I passed this way chasing the enigmatic Eastern Angel.
This is the first angel I've found that's actually weeping!
