Description

This is our entry in the Moving Cache Race - http://www.cachinggames.com/mcr/.

The game runs from 01-Dec-2009 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2010 23:59:59.

The idea of the game is to see how far our cache can move within the game period.

The game software will keep an automatic track of your cache and will automatically calculate distances and stops as your cache moves around the country.

 

Logging this cache is easy:

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 and even a hint in the hint box if you wish. The hints box will update the main hint for the cache so that it will update in GSAK and the like.

 

Thanks for being part of the Game.

Seeing as the race is over, I thought I would take this cache for a Mountain Bike ride deep in the heart of Namadgi National Park for a fun time.
It's now on a little used FIREtrail, with some pretty good views down the Naas river valley.
Ebjoy the pristine wilderness .... for a while....

Cache under rock it is currently sitting on.

Didn't find it either. No particular gum was at GZ, but there were several within 10m. Checked the base of each one. One had a particular pile of bark that looked promising and loose, but there was nothing there. Perhaps the last mover could come and check on this one.

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.

Raced out to grab a few moving caches that we hadn't yet been able to get our hands on. Couldn't find much in the way of hiding spots for six caches. Returned home empty handed to find more logs - obviously this was grabbed pretty much after it was hidden, and was long gone before we got there.

Found it
Either we were on a mission to help re-cache Canberra, or we were totally insane - or both - the Black Bunny team drove to Wollongong after work to recover this one. Returning to Canberra after 0200, we need to be treated gently today.
Also, on the way out of Wollongong we were accosted by fluffyfish, who SEEMED very friendly, but we were afraid he was going to stop us from taking the cache, so we let him sign the cache log, and told him all about moving caches and pathtags - and, in effect, bored him into letting us go. Actually, we were delighted to meet a Wollongong cacher, and we chatted for far too long before wending our weary way home.
As soon as one of us can focus eyes, this cache will be placed somewhere in Canberra.

Well this is a fine pickle. I went to the coords and grabbed the cache I found, thinking I could move this one to Sydney as well. It was only when I read the note below I actually opened the cache (back in my hotel room) and discovered I'd picked up Whose Shout! Oops!
You wouldn't expect this would you. I'm back to Sydney tomorrow night but I may get a chance to put it back - might be a bit muggly at the time I go though. Then I can grab the moving cache and leave this one.
At least I can log this one as a find in GC!
