I'm not sure of the protocol for missing moveable caches. I'm going to mark it as disabled in the hope that I hear a faint little "Achoo!" sometime in the future.
It was a dark and stormy night, or at least a slightly overcast night with light showers. Either way, it was not a sneezy night.
He's gnoe. Sorry, gone. Farewell my sneezy friend.

I didn't / haven't moved this cache. Found it inside a GC cache that I found. Just logging to update it's co-ordinates to where I found it.
Found again while frog hunting, seems like the rules are not getting much attention. Will leave it to Snowone to find his next home.

Found this guy hanging out with a bunch of other frogs at a pub dinner.. they were all pretty well behaved.. and they did have an allocated driver, and everyone seemed to leave happy! !
What a cute gnome, it is still nice to come across one that we didn't find during the last race. Signed log and left it here for another finder as it looked very delicate and we were on the motorbike so couldn't guarantee a safe ride onwards. TFTG

What is this? A gnome and frog hotspot?
Driving around this morning in a borrowed car. It hasn't been driven in a while and needs some exercise before the battery goes flat.
Such a good excuse to hide a gnome but I couldn't go far from the car 'cos I couldn't turn it off for fear that it wouldn't start again.
So he is dropped again.

Proposal for (M) SNZ-206: If in picking up the cache container, the cacher rings it's bell, the cacher should kiss the nearest girl. There shall be no presumed gender bias placed upon the cacher - the rule applies.
Found at the Geocaching Christmas event in Sydney today.

Poor old Sneezy is feeling unloved. Picked him up this morning to spread some Xmas cheer at the NSW Xmas Event. He is a Xmas gnome after all.
Left in a popular gnome meeting spot, Rookwood Cemetary.
'Sneezy's Gnomic' has decided that he had enough of a good thing and he wanted to see more of the world, so he hitched a ride in my camera bag on the way to 'Yaralla' Trig.
He saw this great spot close to medical help of needed and jumped off and hid at the entrance of Rhodes Park.

'Sneezy' has now arrived at the Clwydd hospital where he will be cared for and restored to full health. He is in good spirits but keep on asking for cappuccino, and that is the one thing that the hospital will not supply to Gnomes.
it has been quite some time since I tried to Gnap a Gnome, and this one has been here for a while.
No problem finding the spot, I lived in the area a great many years ago so I knew exactly where to look.
Unfortunately the top of his handle has broken off, and I spent a bit of time sifting thru the mulch and leaves looking for the missing bit. I found it in the end and 'Sneezy' will now spend some time in the Clwydd Hospital getting fixed up.

Sneezy's Gnomic is taking a rest in a nice little park in Annandale, after I picked him up in Greystanes earlier today.
He will be easier to retreive from outside the park rather than inside.

GCA find #223
After working near Parramatta today, then grabbing GC find #850 at the 3 teddy's,Sneezy was a nice nearby cache in a park, so I dropped in for a look.
I did use the clue, he was where I expected, but it confirmed my thinking.

Sneezy has moved on and is now resting in a lovely park.
Well the good news is that Sneezy is alive and well. Poor old Sneezy has been languishing on the river since early May. No wonder previous finders had difficulty cause where the GPS pointed was not where I found him. I read the log of the last hider and remembered that Sneezy came to this spot by kayak. Today there was a really low tide, so access was easy but at high tide you would not have found him. The bridge was almost overhead so this caused bad reception. I ignored the GPS and just looked at a spot where I would hide it, if I'd kayaked here. Surprisingly, he was in the first spot I looked. In mere seconds.
Steptoes photo is not where he was. Now Sneezy is resting up in my kitchen with the other 6 gnomes already here. The cold weather seems to have made them all very quiet.

Had a second look with my youngest, Josh Hoogs and bikerbuddy. Despite over ten minutes we could not spot this one.
Two gnomes within 50 metres of each other are missing here. There is also another moveable missing about 1.5kms away! I hope someone has forgotten to log them!

I too went for a look. GZ is still 9m into the water when standing at the edge of the beach. So not sure what's going on there. I checked the rocks high and low, but not sure if it's in deep, or been taken.
He may still be there, but the pic shows what I was looking at, and GZ was still showing as a few metres BEHIND me in the water.
Maybe the last hide could add a little more detail if noone finds him.

Moved the gnome when out on kayaks - but there is land access. TFT fun.
Found him. Then went and got the camera and the family to see ALL THOSE MUSHROOMS - I've never seen so many different kinds in one place before. The gnome's hat had come off but we've put it back. Will move the little guy along.
Anna thought this was very pretty, but it was time to get back out in the field again. After Gneville had been moved away from this strategic water tank I thought the Gnomic could take over and guard for a while.
A new bit of Rookwood for a gnome to hide in. Didn't matter that I was in unfamiliar territory here, found quickly enough. Another new one I haven't seen before.
Again hiding in a tree, to keep high above any flowers that might cause unwanted and dangerous sneezing, this gnomic is awaiting further guidance.
Sneezy has been repaired and is hiding not too far away. Visit the sculpture exhibition "Hidden" while you are there.
Sneezy was just about to go on a little jaunt when he bumped heads with the other gnomes and the tip of his hat broke off. So he had to return home for some minor surgery.
I opened my front door this morning and did a double take. WT..... 10 gnomes peered back at me and Sneezy was one of them. I have now learned he is part of a mass breakout and has joined ranks with the Beta team. Looks like he'll be making up his own rules to wreck havoc now he is free.

The second Gnome Team (The B Team) has reached its dispersal point. All members have their new duties assigned and will rely on help from local human at Dispersal Point Beta to reach satisfactory destinations.
Of course all Gnomes will report back to Clwydd Headquarters from time to time to advise of their findings.

'Sneezy's Gnomic' has reached his assigned assembly point, where he will be joined by his team mates. He has joined his transportation and is only waiting for all to be present. They will all be on the move in a few days. He is anxious to start his new adventures.

Wentworth Falls ('Weatherboard') Station. Altitude 1000 metres. A well-known waypoint for GFF gnomes going to and from the Clywdd Headquarters.
I bid Sneezy a hearty farewell and he gave me a final salute.
I just know this gnome will be a great success in his new GFF mission.

Sneezy's Gnomic cut a fine figure when I picked him up from the wetlands.
Like the others, he gave me a smart salute.
I was impressed!
And then he carefully outlined his new mission, to make sure there was no possible misunderstanding.
It was a pleasure to do business with such a well-trained gnome.

Had to quickly drop off Sneezy at Pennant Hills Station. But he'll be well taken care of . . .
Found Sneezy's Gnomic together with a visiting senior GFF official while undertaking a top-secret gnome investigation. No further details are available at this time. Please keep in touch with the latest news from Clwydd at the GCA Forum.

We couldn't put Sneezy's Gnomic under the daisy bush in case he let out a big sneeze and gave away the location of all his gnomey friends. He's behind the waterfall faeture not too far away
We found this guy, luckily nowhere near any flowers. We threw him in the back of my ute and there are DEFINITELY no flowers in there!! Some smelly socks perhaps though

This gnomic was getting lonely in Canberra so we rescued him. We'll take him to somewhere where he can meet lots of friends and have a bit of fun

Have you ever seen a group of adults gathering around a table full of gnomes, turning them over, logging on little sheets? How peculiar! But we all did it! Thanks for the gnome

Today there was a gathering of gnomes and cachers. Great stories were told and many gnomes made new friends. We me this one while he was passing through!
A final collection of gnomes before the end of the comp at today's event. A bit of chaos of log signing and it is pretty much all over. Thanks. Albida
Found this little guy at the event today.
Had a little bit of an issue, when ..i think it was Ju? accidentally dropped him, and his hat fell apart. But that was ok, someone remembered to bring superglue, and he was on his merry way.

Black Bunny and Candy Cane 101 wanted to go to Nowra to collect some last minute gnomes, so we all piled back into the car at tea time, and headed off.
It was definitely dark by the time we got to the general area, so we crashed about tripping, cursing, and Blaming the Bunny for every little knock.
The Bunny redeemed himself(a tiny bit) by finding the gnome stash. He insisted that I carry some of the load on the way back to the car. Luckily, Candy Cane 101 was out of reach at that moment and missed out, as she crashed on the way back to the car. Not hurt, luckily.

Dropped off 4 of the 5 gnomes I picked up in Wollongong. Now at Wrights Beach near the water. Heavy tree cover but averaged co-ords & hint should help. There is a GC cache nearby.
Found he & all his mates after getting a msg from Fluffyfish. He will be hidden in the Shoalhaven within 2 days. Excellent description.

My first gnome find for the day and fourth cache. Long drive from the Sunshine Coast. Muggle council workers were near GZ. Coords were a bit off so hoping it was elsewhere. Eventually returned to GZ. Lots of options and muggles metres away. Finally found the little sucker and went over to explain to the council workers what I was doing. We had a good chat. Funnily one of the guys had found a cache whilst out working and didn't know why there was a list of names in a container! I said my goodbyes and keep on caching. BTW this is the cutest gnome ever!

Apparently Sneezy was BFFs with some local blue faced honeyeaters. I thought they were going to mob me as I was collecting him!! Moved to overlook a northside creek but he is high up to prevent him floating away. Coords may be a bit bouncy but there aren't that many hiding spots where I hid him so hopefully he is not difficult to find.
Sneezy's Incessant nose was driving me insane.
I thought of placing him on the bank on the Brisbane River and see where the flood would wash him to but decided against it.
I found a spot where he could watch some basketball in his spare time.
I hope he doesn't sneeze while they are shooting..

Dropped by and picked up Sneezy's.
It was pouring rain and there were buses trying to park in the parking area but that didn't stop me.
I might have to wait for the rain to ease up before I put it out again.

We couldn't wait to get rid of this little guy. Not only was his sneezing starting to bother us (we were running out of tissues), he was awfully argumentative about what he could and could not do. So while driving along Kessels Road at Robertson we saw a familiar red and white sign and kicked him out. I'm sure the Griffith Law School will be able to provide him with more than enough robust discussion about his 'rights' to keep him happy. Hopefully they will also be able supply him with sufficent tissues.
Found him... complaining about being wet and the noise from the nearby waterpark.
"Want a lift to Brisbane?", we offered.
"You bet", he replied.
"Well hop in next to Eromsil and don't forget to do up your seatbelt".
"Hey", he said while he was buckleing up, "Did you find that cache, the one near were I was hiding?"
"Yes we did", was our reply "but thanks for the reminder."

Sneezy stayed rather too long at my place altho he did have an outing or two over the weekend. I finally had to kick all the gnomes out today. They were eating everything and the constant sneezing was giving us all hayfever. Sneeze is sitting about 3 metres behind a cache here on the Gold Coast GC1FA77 "I'll get by with a little help from my GPS" so anyone who picks him up should make sure they get this one if not done already. Thanks for the loan of the gnoam. See photos to see him with his new best gnome friends.
Today was a better day for hunting gnomes. When I failed to find my first one yesterday I thought maybe someone had grabbed them all. But no, this little fellow was still here. At first I missed him, he looked to be just another bottle propped up against a tree root. He was also smaller than I expected. Now he's sharing quarters with three other gnomes and they're having a gnome-over at my place.

A quick visit to the spit at the Gold Coast, we decided this would be a good place for a gnome to rest, so we found a peaceful spot in a park near the beach.
We picked poor old Sneezy up during a bit of wet weather - it certainly wasn't helping his sneezing at all. We are on our way down to the Gold Coast and will place him again as soon as we can.
This is great! I hadn't read this one earlier. It is fantastic. And I'm a lawyer, and yes, I've had to rewrite a Basketball Club's Constitution.
