Description

 

I am known as SIMBA Gnomal.

I began my travels in BENDIGO, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA.

I belong to a great caching team known as tigersden.

Please follow the rules below and where you can please take a photo or 2 of me.

 

PLEASE READ BEFORE RETRIEVING ME...

The RULES of the game are pretty simple....

  • The game commences at 00:00:00 1 December 2010 AEST and concludes 23:59:59 31 January 2011 AEST.
  • I must be found and hidden by the same cacher (i.e. no mailing me to another cacher to hide).
  • There is no limit to the number of times other cachers can find / move me provided there are at least two other finds / moves in between.
  • If a cacher moves me overseas and I remain unfound overseas for 1 week or more, the cache mover may move me back to my country of origin without breaking the "2 moves" rule.
  • There is no limit to the distance other cachers can move me.
  • Other cachers in the game may find / move me, but they must move me on within 2 days.

You will find a LOG book inside me for you to sign.

had a good look but no luck, gone mia

Well, I looked for about 15 minutes as I felt sure he would be there.....somewhere. But alas, with lots of tree litter, he was hiding too well for me today. Hopefully the next hunter will have more luck.

Thanks anyway....

This gnome is fond of a walk it seems. Stopped by to make a quick hide but he kept egging me on. His point was valid, there really weren't any good spots for a gnome. OK when a race is on, any hide is likely to be brief, but things slow down once the fun is over. Who knows how long a gnome might be waiting for the next lift.
Simba is hidden the wrong side of the tracks. He's inside a fallen tree and could be hard to spot if left a while. Co-ordinates hopefully should be good, I used averaging and 100 readings as the GPS was wandering a bit.

In the area today so I went for a walk to find Simba.
Had to chuckle when I went back down the logs to find where we had met before. Old Saint's log and images on the 7th of June indicate that this Gnome has had an adventure that will never be known.
I was the one to hide him prior to Old Saints find and, not surprisingly, he wasn't left standing in the open. At the time of hiding, the grass was long and there was tree debris about. He was hidden between two trees (protection from tractors slashing the verge) and covered with a piece of wood.
Looking at the images now, they not only slashed the verge but cleaned up around the trees as well! He's been found but not muggled. Some kind council worker carefully stood him up, but left him in location. Very nice! Very HappyI'm a Gnome, duh!Clan Phoenix

I've been recombobulated back to 3D. I had a hankering to check out what sort of stuff some of my burlier mates were made of (I'm a featherweight by comparison). But then I had to run away from muggles. Then the kids on their BMX bikes forced me further in. Found an ideal home but it was already taken by ...eek, a cache! So I walked further than I intended & had to lie down for a spell.

Temporarily discombobulated to the 27th dimension.

Hi tigersden
Just as well we went to look for this gnomal as he was totally exposed in his well out of the way non-hide. (see photos)
He was Sainted at 1125hrs.
Simba will be re-hidden in a location more accessible to the caching fraternity and in a location not likely to be muggled.
TFTC and cheers
OldSaint.

Simba has being having a little rest until we could be sure of his true allegiances but it's time he got out there and did his bit for the green team. Dancing
There's a slight worry about this hide. It was pouring with rain and I was comfortable that only a lunatic or a geocacher would be about. I forgot there's another brand of lunatic and just as I was leaving a brown clad dog walker appeared from a side track. My cheery wave was returned with a highly suspicious look so they obviously wondered what I was up to. Shocked
Looking in the mirror, they didn't approach the hide so hopefully it's alright. I had hidden Simba as soon as I stopped and then had fussed about averaging co-ordinates and noting them down so I probably just looked lost. Very HappyClan Phoenix

On a bit of a sojourn down this way this morning, I dropped in for a look for this one and its GC neighbour given that there were no parking restrictions here for another hour. Very Happy

It took a few moments to find but thanks to the quite specific hint, I was finally signing the log at 06:50.

I replaced Simba where I found him for those who follow to find.

Don't go looking for him, he has gone already.

One of 6 moveables that came home with me after the Spring caching event. I hadn't intended to take any of them, but I saw this forlorn looking bunch on the table & no other GCA cachers left, so I let them hitch a ride with me.

Haven't seen Simba Gnomal for some time now. In fact, I haven't logged any gnomes at all for a considerable stretch . . . very nostalgic.

So it was great to find Simba near the Springwood Cemetery when I descended from the upper mountains on other business . . .

A Leap Frog was even lurking nearby, and I found a GC too . . . the trifecta!

I'm a Gnome, duh!I'm a Laaaaaaaady, duh! Ohh look more gnomes, not far from where I had to be this morning. What a wonderful location. Would never have known about this wetlands if Simba hadn't shown it to me. Have had some fun with Simba before and I still reckon he reminds me of Santa Claus. One of my favourite gnomes. He's at my place,with 5 others. They are starting their own little gathering in my kitchen. Rolling Eyes

'Simba Gnomal' has now moved to his new location. He will monitor the movements in this lovely little wetland are. He is on the lookout for Eastern Long-Necked Turtles (Chelodina longicollis) and see how many he can find.

'Simba Gnomal' decided to hang around the GFF Gnome Holiday Resort for a few days before carrying his new duties as assigned to him by the new GGA (GLF-GFF Alliance). He is well pleased with the results of the Mt Victoria conference and will enjoy some well deserved R&R.
Don't go looking for him, the location of the Holiday Resort is Top Secret, so you won't find him at the co-ords.
