Description
This moveable cache, launched on 1 December 2009, was an entrant in the "Moving Cache Race". It now remains in circulation as a moveable cache, travelling around Australia.
This moveable cache belongs underneath the green Australia Post pickup boxes, located around Australia's suburbs. These boxes allow the posties to continue their rounds "post haste" without having to return to the post office between each bike load.
Being a moveable cache, you are required to find this cache, take it with you, and place it underneath another green box somewhere else as soon as possible - preferably as far as possible from where you found it. Unlike normal caches, stealth really isn't necessary when you find it - just grab the cache, then run!
The race is now over, but this cache remains in circulation, so you are encouraged to find it, and keep it moving. During the two months of the race, this cache:
- was moved 33 times;
- was found by 21 different geocaching teams;
- spent time in Melbourne, Ballarat, Shepparton, Canberra and Sydney; and
- travelled a total distance of 1615.75 km.
Many thanks to all of the teams who helped this cache move so far and so often. More information about the race is available here.
The cache is a 200ml Sistema container, painted green to match the Aussie Post boxes. It's magnetic, so easily attaches underneath. And if you can't find a green post box, then the cache would be equally happy hidden in or under anything else that its magnet finds attractive... such as an armco roadside barrier!
So, go get it, and thanks for your help keeping it moving along!
How to log a moveable cache:
First Step: Log your find with a 'Found' log (this will give you your smiley!)
Second Step: When you have moved the cache, log a NEW 'Moved' log, adding the new co-ordinates.

To celebrate the last day of the Moveable Cache Race we are organising an impromptu afternoon tea and cache exchange at S35 18.280 E149 07.360. The idea is for all the Moveable Caches that are currently in the ACT to come together for a quick cup of tea and a cache 'swap in swap out'. Meeting time is 3pm, today, 31 January 2010. The above location has easy access and carparking available. So grab a Moveable Cache and cup of tea and come on over.

It's green, although not a post box, and as it turns not magnetic.

Saw this one was nearby, and felt ok lets go out and grab it before it travels to far. Got on the electric pushbike and figured out the power cord was unplugged. Oh no how long will this take me. Got to the end of my suburb.
Still 8 km to go!
So kept on pedalling until I got to gz made a quick find.
Back home and will move soon TFTC

Looks like it's around 10km from Amaroo. I'd love it if this cache could go to Tassie, so any chance it could get into allrounder's hands?
Many thanks to everyone for keeping it on the move this week. I've returned the favour by moving a couple of yours that are down here in Victoria at the moment!

Noticed this was in O'Malley, almost on the way home. Did not notice it had already been collected by Mark :(

After I had been past this evening to take the photo on the previous log, I came home and discovered that Winglen had been by soon afterwards - so back around the corner to O'Malley I went.
Will try find another Australia Post Green Box, but if all else fails, there are plenty of other green boxes around Canberra (Telstra RIMs, etc).

I saw the green post box in O'Malley yesterday, and realised that that must be what mtbikeroz was referring to. Doesn't look at all like the one pictured in the cache description.

Whilst this cache tempted me to pick up as it was close to home, I came to regret it. I hadn't noticed any green letter boxes around town so couldn't move it anywhere. The Australia Post website lists the locations of all the yellow and red boxes, but NO green ones - useless. Emailed friends - they had heard of them but couldn't say where. Eventually one of them spotted one in O'Malley, so off we went tonight to unburden. Not even sure if it is a letter box because it's right beside a red one.
If someone is heading interstate where there is a better density of these rare and unusual green boxes, please move it there!

Thanks mtbikeroz!
If anyone has problems finding a green post box, then feel free to stick it somewhere else, rather than hanging onto it for too long! A roadside barrier, behind anything metallic, even under a bush somewhere if that's easier!

OK, as I mentioned, these green boxes (for Australia post use ONLY) are located ALL over Canberra. I see them REGULARLY riding around IN the suburbs. They are rarely at shopping centres.
Two convenient ones I know of now:
1 - Pockett Ave BANKS, opp Banks shops.
2 - Tyagarah st O'MALLEY (it a very short street off Hindmarsh Dr).
As I come across more, I'll update the list while this guy stays in Canberra.

Couldn't help ourselves but collect this when it was so close to home - now to find a green post box!

There are at least 20+++ of these green boxes I know of in Canberra, they are hidden within suburbs, have seen many of them while riding around.

Sorry Hunter /Finder. Yep I think I pipped you at the post but probably not by very long. I'd been to this cache site before so knew where to look. Inspite of this the GPS still played havoc under those trees as it did last time. I found two pathtags in this cache, so have logged them and will move them on too, for others to enjoy. Now which post box should I put you under??? I found this at Macquarie Uni, one of my higher places of learning!

This cache will be moving fast tonight then if the gods are aligned, off to another state later in the week.
A small hiatus may occur during transfer.
We apologise for the inconvenience :-)

What a hoot, 4 caches under the same letter box.
Now that makes for easy drive by caching.
I haven't time this afternoon to rehide, but they will be out and about tomorrow.
Depending on whether the child wants to go for a driving lesson, they may be close, they may be far, far away.

This cache was feeling lonely and un-loved, so it's got a few friends visiting at the moment. Should make for a worthwhile FTF, with three extra bonus smileys while you're there! Now go get it!
