Description

A small and adaptable cache that should be able to be hidden in many places

This cache represents three firsts for me:

  1. My first GCA cache
  2. My first moveable cache
  3. My first foray into a caching game

This cache was my entry in the "Moving Cache Race".  It didn't win anything, but I did win a pathtag for moving other people's caches. Since the race is over I decided I need to change the mission. I'd like this cache to move to Victoria.

The container is small 200ml sistema, painted black.  It has an internal hard disk magenet so can be hidden in a magnetic way, even though the initial hide was not a magnetic one.  The cache has a log book and pencil and will fit very small swaps.

I have initially stocked it with some plastic animals and foreign coins.

Have replaced close to a few hotel, motels located near the city in the hope that this might end up in the hands of a travelling cachers from interstate. After all the mission of this cache is to find its way to Victoria so this spot may help it get into the right hands..... TFTC TNLN SL

There were many tennis-playing muggles nearby so only had a quick look. It didn't reveal itself, so I wondered if it had been picked up already...apparently not!

We tried our best to hide this cache as far as possible. Did we achieve this? We think yes! After we've seen how much rubbish to be thrown out to into the rubbish bin.

Nearby work so an easy pickup this afternoon, found it and logged with SuzieQ_AU, The paint was falling off in sheets so I have applied some appropriately coloured tape on the bald spots.
Off shopping this evening for Santa provided a good opportunity to move this on, even though it was piping hot today.

Picked up at 5am ish on the way to collect the other moveable cache at Lake Ginninderra. Picked up right under the nose of a taxi driver sitting in his car metres away. Didn't matter if he saw me, it was dark and he had no idea what I was doing, crazy MTBiker in the dark kneeling around the back of a structure ?????
Will drop off tonight further Sth.
