Description
The 49th cache hidden by caughtatwork is a moveable cache and can only be found on Geocaching Australia.
Your challenge is to locate this cache, collect it, run away, make your log and rehide it in a location that matches the color of the cache container.
The log sheet is waterproof to (hopefully) ensure its longevity.
Please feel free to log this cache up to 10 times as long as you are having fun finding and rehiding it. Of course, you should wait until someone else has hidden it before you can log it as a find again.
There are some simple guidelines:
- When you grab the cache please rehide it again the same day or at the latest within 24 hours.
- Rehide the cache attached to an object the same or similar in color.
The further away the merrier. - Log your find here as soon as you can so others are not trying to find the cache you just moved.
- When logging your find at geocaching.com.au, please insert the co-ordinates in the coords box.
This allows the software to automatically update the new location.
Enter your co-ordinates in the format Sdd mm.mmm Eddd mm.mmm
You don't have to include the degrees or minutes symbols when entering updated co-ordinates but you should leave a space between the degrees and minutes.
Try a copy and paste of the example co-ordinates into the new co-ordinates box and type over them. - Please keep this cache in Australia but feel free to move it interstate if you feel in the mood.
- Wherever possible, try and keep to the difficulty / terrain rating as originally listed.
Then run away as fast as you can.
Enjoy.

He was only 6 finds from his century and third highest found GCA cache in the entire world.
After 4 and a half years, my little grey friend has passed on, he is no more, he's gone to meet his maker. This is an ex-cache.

There is plenty of grey stuff near the cache on the newly named GO BETWEEN bridge. There is a viewing platform near by at the end of Bouquet St. These numbers will be handy to narrow down your search area - 49938.

We was out looking for stainless steel art and decided to explore the park and thought the object this cache was attached to fitted the title and found this. So it is off again.

Time to say goodbye - Till we meet again!
Ok - Not a government building but a place that uses it's Queensland monopoly to influence decision making policies within the state.
In the true spirit of the movable Cache as stated on this page
"you don't have to worry about being spotted retrieving the cache. Feel free to be as obvious as you need to be in order to claim it. -
Then run away as fast as you can" - before security nabs you!!
No seriously - should be a pretty easy find

After an early morning swim at Mooloolaba, we wandered over to see if government grey was still there. It was. Placed this morning in Caloundra right near a number of local government facilities. If you are looking for info about the area this is a good place to start and if you need more walk a few extra metres to the info centre.

I was on the move today up Beerburrum way 
How could I not check up on this little cache when it is attached to a waypoint of a GC multi-cache
The GG was still there but was providing a home for many little black ants who had filled any empty spaces with eggs
I took the oportunity to evict the lodgers and GG is back in place in pristine grey condition
Find number 11 for If

The paint was coming off the cache, and we wondered how does an owner do maintenance on a moveable cache? Figured we could just put the paint on ourselves. If you need a hint to find the cache, try looking behind Mt Ngungun.

I couldn't resist picking up this little guy again. It has been nearly 2 years since Mr NANKS had an incident involving a security guard retrieving Government Grey. Fortunately, I was undisturbed when grabbing it again. I felt pretty sure I knew where it would be as this is our local area! A quick easy find....and yes....I left the red dot.

OK, the Government has gone urban.
It has moved east and is now only 2kms from the bayside shore.
The grey is a little hard to find at first,
but once you see the grey you know you are close to the Government!

"On the Move - Government Grey" has been placed in a more northerly park of Brisbane used for cricket, hockey and softball and it's a great walking area for geocachers and muggles. Across the road are rugby union fields, more cricket ovals and beach volleyball courts too. Across that road from Govt Grey and near the creek bank is a huge gum tree that is my favourite tree. It is the home of hundreds of birds and possums. Several different types of parrots make their nests in that tree. Have a look at it while you are here.

It has returned ... and wasn't to far from home so I thought I'd give the new cache a go on the way home from work.... Bingo got it!
I'll get it re-hidden ASAP and this time I'll check out my GZ properly before placing it.

Just in case others are wondering what has happened to 'Government Grey' I have some bad and some good news.
I thought it best to post a log to keep interested parties informed.
We grabbed the Cache the other morning and the same day we went on a bike ride to hide it in a new location.
#1 son spotted what appeared to be a fabulous spot. A large grey flood light on the fence line of a local baseball field.
I said "great, no muggles around, go for it" Seconds later with an absolute look of horror he turned around "I think it's gone" - (perhaps even a hint of a tear)...... WHAT!!!
What happened is the small hole at the base of this floodlight, concealed a 3 metre hole.... straight down.
We rode home grabbed coathangers magnets, and gaffa tape and spent the rest of the morning trying to fish it out.... NO LUCK!
Ohh.... I said there was some good news....I have spoken to the owner of the cache, who took it surprisingly well. A replacement will appear soon.... So, watch this space.

Couldn't resist grabbing a local.
I was going to grab on New Years Eve, but teenagers were partying - or should I say stumbling everywhere, so I gave it the 'drive by'. I took the kids with me this morning for a quick snatch and run.

(wont be travelling far) so watch this space for the Coords.

Another uneventful night time cache hunt (not). After looking in the obvious spot under a steel balcony for about 15 minutes,I heard a bang .I quickly stood up and nearly knocked myself out on the steel beam above. It was a security/club manager slamming a bin. He said,"What are you doing under the building?" The only thing I could think of was that someone had left something behind. He said how big? I Don't know. I said it's grey and maybe magnetic. He then said that no-one had handed in anything like that. About five minutes after he left me I found it and had a whoppin', big, huge lump on my head to remember my night cache. Thanks IF for placing and thanks Caughtatwork for the cache.

Yes, I'm afraid that Grey has been retrieved from the country and will be sited tomorrow. The kids did like this site and they made a beeline for the park bench as soon as they left the car. The poor guy sitting at the table didn't know what was going on as 4 kids raced up and started looking under the table. Having just returned to civilisation this evening, we will place the cache tomorrow.

So close to work. Then my desk is grey - can someone leave it under there next time? I wouldn't want to increase my stress levels looking for a cache?

Now a new player has taken me away from the park
And hidden me tonight when it's cold and it's dark.

Touche' If! If you leave it in our backyard, then that's not very hard. Great location though, attached to a sign pole within a hedge. However, whilst dad ruled out the median strip steelwork, master 10 found it in only a couple of minutes. Can't replace tonight, but will take for a drive in the morning.

Will drop the Grey off again tomorrow morning
Sneaky hide though, with the GG using extra cover and not just relying on its natural cammo !

Witch - Woke up at 4:30am and thought....hmmm will go and have a look...searched for almost 30mins before the feeling of looking too suss to the traffic and early commuters forced me to stop. Climbing all over that structure, then having the GPS jumped around a bit and not wanting to stick my hands in places I could not see into was enough to convince me that perhaps someone beat me to it....I am guessing it's still there and very well hidden????

They tell me it's not for the Vertially Challenged.
Now, they didn't give me a story so ...
I went to find this magnificent moving cache this evening. Armed only with GPSr and a long pole I was able to scale the dizzying height to grab this well placed cache. While I was utilising my pole however, one of Queenslands finest happened along and asked what I was doing. Well, rather than give the game away I hit him in the head and ran away. That was the right thing to do wasn't it?
When VWNuts gets their cacher name set up then will log a find and I'll delete the note.

While I was utilising my pole however, one of Queenslands finest happened along and asked what I was doing. Well, rather than give the game away I hit him in the head and ran away. That was the right thing to do wasn't it?
When VWNuts gets their cacher name set up then will log a find and I'll delete the note.

VWNuts have made the grab at 1915 and will be doing a re hide tonight. (Within 2 hrs from cordinates were out.)

Sorry about the error in the Coordinates. Went back and checked.
Waiting for a finder. In a peaceful place but you will need to go higher. (Well was peaceful some muggles this afternoon)

Just noting the starting co-ordinates for posterity.
It was hidden while I was on a one day business meeting jaunt to the sunny state of Queensland, only a stones throw from my meeting location.
PS. Your state is too hot. Please arrange to lower the temperature by a few degrees
