Description
Moving Cache Race 2009 - The Post Box Hopper!
This is our entry in the 2009 Moving Cache Race. See: http://www.cachinggames.com/mcr/index.php for more information.
PLEASE do not pick it up if you can't put it back out quickly!!
It will start out in Yarralumla, Canberra and may just move around the ACT and nearby NSW. We would like it to achieve the most moves during the race. So, short quick relocations will be appreciated.
We are hoping the ACT caching community will get behind this entry in its quest to achieve the most moves?
This cache is to be moved from post box to post box. It should be hidden so as to not be obvious and 'blend' in to the chosen box. The special camo paint will help!
For example, on a standard urban post box mounted on a pole is can be placed underneath and out of sight. On others it can be placed on the side, but will need to be away from prying eyes and fingers!
If possible pick it up, sign the log, drop at a new location (don't forget to take coordinates) and log all in one fell swoop!
Let the race begin....... a quick game is a good game!

Today's impromptu afternoon tea and cache exchange was quite a success with 6 out of the 7 caches currently located in the ACT attending. Unfortunately due to a service in progress at the time, Black Bunny was unable to retrieve Blossom and escort it to the afternoon tea. I am happy to report that all caches conducted themselves in a very cache like manner and a good time was had by all. After much discussion and bidding farewell to each other the caches and cachers dispersed. Thanks to everyone who attended. I am attaching a few photos from today.
31st
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.

After PrincessDiala corrected the coordinates, I headed back to Willi to grab this one - I wouldn't have been able to sleep otherwise! A quick find under the red postbox, and while I was out and about, a quick re-hide, too!

...... I think I must win some type of (booby) prize for getting the most wrong coordinates posted in logs during the game period of the MCR...
*hangs head in shame*
Hopefully the coordinates should be nearby a shop, with a phone booth infront, and a postbox next to it?

I am proud to report that, at this point in time, the post box hopper is currently top of the Cache Race Leaderboard for distance travelled 1046.29 km, longest distance 967.23 km and number of stops 13.
(Thanks Black Bunny and all the other helpers).
I did not realise what a competitive little cache I had created!
Now to see if it comes home...........
Anyone going to Perth (and back) for the weekend?

Mr Bunny reports that he has placed the cache. He says it is NOT on a post box.

Black Bunny bounced by - and nearly broke his neck in the wet.
Black Bunny is currently negotiating to see if he can get this one tagged in Brisbane, and possibly brought back to the ACT.
Either way it will be out of circulation for us here, until the weekend, I'd say.

This area can be muggle central at certain times of the day, but you can pull the car up next to it.

FINALLY, OH FINALLY.
Checked the internet at 12:30 to see if it was still here, yep, it was. Onto my road bike and I headed off. Detoured via new cache up Mt. Ainslie first, then popped in here - GOT IT. A 44km ride so far.
Ended up doing 85km for the day, 3 caches, 1 mountain and 80km/h on the road bike, Coooeeeeee
Will drop off appropriately tonight.

It's great to see all the activity in the past few days. Currently this cache is top of the ladder for number of stops! Although the Melbourne based "Cache Me If You Can" GA1662 is giving it some very stiff competition!
Mtbikeroz, may the force be with you.......... good luck!

Moved to another postal location. Not quite the box (there was a muggle at the bus stop near there) but close by and very postal indeed. During business hours stealth will be required as it is a surpisingly busy place.

picked up again on the way to work! Well since there was a carpark nearbye I had to give it a go! Nice shinny red place it was too.

Yes, this is an interesting location!
According to my sources, the ACT Government, frustrated with the blandness of the standard urban post box, commissioned a design competition to come up with a new, innovative and exciting design. This was the winning entry. However, at the time, there were tensions in the Commonwealth/Territory relations and this did not get the support it deserved. I think a bilateral agreement on the matter was mooted?
The ACT Government, not to be deterred, then put this prototype (sans slot) on display in the hope it would come to be seen as the ideal modern post box and the Commonwealth might change its mind.
I don't think this has happened, yet.........
PS. Don't try to post a letter when you are doing the pick up but if you can put it back on track that would be good!

Zing!
Back out in time for some other hunter.
Well it is sort of a box...
and it has a little something in common with a post box.

Quite Busy here, but there are regular breaks. Not much colour in the prime hide, but it should not be an issue. . Thanks.

The cache was certainly located in a beautiful leafy street. I gulped as I looked, hoping it was going still to be there. Yay!
Thanks wing6rider & cyrstal warrior for the chase and the fun of re-hiding....

This is my first moving cache - I love finding new things.
I had to wait for the postie to retrive this one!
I will move it along to another postcode this afternoon.
