I picked the little red matchbox up on my arrival at Port Hedland. I found it hanging off a piece of wire on a power pole. I'm not sure that's where it's always been, as a fair bit of sand came off it when I washed it in my motel bathroom. It's lucky it was still there, as escalator work is happening next to it, but the escalator wasn't working when I arrived and I was able to make the find. Will move it on.

In my safe hands, going to Perth WA.

During this trip to Adelaide achieved 4x FTF's (GA), picked up a dozen moveables; plus the highlight being my D/T grid (GC) now filled after finding one up a tree.
Huge THANK YOU to local cachers: J&J, Laighside Legends, andrewbt, Atreyu1982, Blackadders, OzGrumpy, weredunn4 & Jacknor whom all contributed towards my success.
What an adventure, visiting: Adelaide CBD, Showground, Glenelg & Seacliff Holdfast Bay, McLaren Vale, Onkaparinga, Hawthorndene, Carrick Hill, Kensington Park, Teringie, Prospect, Elizabeth, Port Adelaide, Garden Island, Gawler, Nuriootpa Barrossa; and an impressive collection of planes at Greenock Aviation Museum!
 
A review of this moveable has shown that the cache is still in location, just sitting there waiting to be found. So, if you're in the area, or simply passing through, why not stop and help it on its way again.....

Was nearby for kids sports and decided to leave this GCA nearby!

Grabbed some nearby munzees too!
 
17-Oct-18
I came to this spot a couple of months a go and collected what I thought was all the moveables, yet today when driving past seems there was a couple more that I must have missed. Grabbed two GCA moveables today from the same spot and will move them on again soon.

In Adelaide attending Uni open days with my daughter I bought some moveables across from Tasmania. Luckily I had some time to put them out along the beach in Adelaide. This one is hiding close to another one I put out. This little fellow is in hiding with two other mates. So you don’t disturb the area I will give you very clear instructions on where this moveable is hiding, near the Discovery Trail sign there is a medium sized white rock which has a creeper at the back of the rock. This is where the moveable is hiding at the back of the white rock

Found this moveable hiding with some mates behind a rock. I moved a rock or two and pulled out four moveables which I collected up and put into a reusable plastic bag and will take North with me. I have had a successful day with moveables and found everything I came to find which is not usual for me! Thanks for the moveables!

Spotted at the GC event, went home with a rat.
 
Found at a GC event where we all got to meet a Yankie, we all had some nice burgers and fries so he must have felt at home.
Spotted this moveable along with a few others as the Goose dropped them off, I will move them on when I'm next out caching which will be Saturday I think.

9 months ago this car was partying with my retired gnome. I came home from work to find another party going on. I'm going to have to speak to the COs of all these party goers. Neville will be receiving a reprimand in the morning!
Thanks C@H for the little red matchbox with the really really really long name Wink I will move it along soon

After being rescued from a guard rail in Glen Huon, Bingo 83 has arrived at Neville's House for a bit of R and R. Neville the retired gnome is known to be a bit of a party animal so not sure how much peace and quiet there will be.
 
04-Jun-18
We headed out today for an afternoon of caching on the Plenty Link Road from New Norfolk to Huonville and ended up near Glen Huon as we headed back home, a round trip of over 200 kms, finding 14 caches and 8 moveables and Bingo 83was one we rescued from a guard rail, luckily as we now realise we missed a couple. Will move on soon. TFTM

Hi C@H
This car had been sitting in this spot for some time so I thought a move was in order

Rode the bike in for this collection, fun; must do it more often
Will get him back out ASAP
TFTC and cheers

Periodically the Geocaching Australia review team checks moveable caches that haven’t been found or moved in over 90 days.

This moveable fits that brief, however reading previous logs it seems to still be at the posted co-ords and is just sitting there waiting for the next finder to give it a go.

So, if you’re in area why not stop by and help it on its way.

Back out again and ready to be found .

After collecting a heap of moveables in the Northwest a few weeks ago this has been the first chance I have had to drop them off anywhere interesting.
Today myself and Goose of GooseandEgg were walking round Peter Murrell reserve cleaning up some Gc caches we had failed to find yet and along the way we kept our eyes out for good locations to hide these moveables.
I have done my best to spread them out a little bit so if you want to collect more than a couple it could take a few hours, we got here about 11 and left about 3.
It was a nice spring day with us both enjoying the day no end.
 
Myself and Goose of GooseandEgg have had a big weekend, starting out before 6am on Saturday we have covered some miles, heading North from Hobart we called at a couple of Southern caches near Melton Mowbray before making our way past Mole Creek to Flumming Hell and then on to Devonport and Ulverstone collecting many GC and GCA caches as we went.
Sunday morning was started with a FTF on a reverse cache and then a great little gadget cache as we headed West.

GooseandEgg dropped off this moveable and now i'm picking it up so I can move it on in the next week.

Later in the day we went to a CITO event and cleaned up the area and then cleaned up some caches, after a few stops along the way we made it back to Hobart by about 6pm, not a bad weekend at all

This movable will be back out soon.

I arrived home from work to find Neville (my old gnome) having a party in the front garden with a bunch of other movables. Neville gets bored on his retirement so I can't blame him for having the occasional get together but it was time for the 'riffraff' to move on so I made sure they went a good distance so they would not be back in a hurry. Enjoy the Northwest coast you mad partygoer, enjoy playing bridge.

Found loitering around a dirty old gnome I'm a Gnome, duh! quite close to home. I was surprised to interrupt such a big gathering. The retired gnome is staying put but the rest of the party goers are being moved along swiftly. So glad they didn't leave a mess. Thanks for the movable.

A lovely spring day to be out and about. We heard a retired gnome was feeling a bit lonely in his garden bed so have dropped by for a visit with quite a few friends. Bring on the party!
 
17-Sep-17
While finding the nearby GC cache with OldSaint on a glorious spring day, I thought I had better bring this moveable back with me to civilisation! Not much of a party to be had here today at the stump. There were plenty of mates, but no internet and a kick out time of 4.00 pm. Plus the thermal pool was only 24 degrees but warmer here than sitting in the snow on the nearby hills. Hitching a ride to whitewebbs house before moving on. TFTM

Hi Covert
Left home, Huonville, this morning in the dark; travelled as far as Ulverstone and returned in the dark - left at 0530hrs and returned home at 2200hrs. A round trip comprising 772 kilometres including visits to Kindred, Turners Beach, West Ulverstone and Spreyton.

Weather: Wet at Huonville at 0530hrs, raining to Oatlands and then fine weather on the North West Coast for the day until I left and got back to Oatlands where it was humming down. Rained on and off from there to Huonville.

Having found one cache on Don Heads, my plan was to find as many as possible of the TasStats series as possible.
The puzzles had been solved some time ago, but this was virtually the first chance I have had to come North West in a similar period of time. So far in that series, I've found six with just one to find - so on the way to look for it, I thought I might as well try to find some caches along the way. This was the fourth on the way through the beautiful farming land from TasStats 6. So far today, I've found eleven including this one - All GCA; not one GC amongst them yet: 1 Trig, 6 Puzzles, three traditionals and now one moveable.

Attempts to get to the right side of the Bass Highway to get close to TasStats 7 failed; so I settled down; whilst stopped; I took a look for closer caches to be found on the GPS. A moveable nearby; off in search; not there - second time today; Sirius you .....
Phone call to sirius Tas and we make plans to say hello; visit it home; spend time and collect fourteen more moveables of which, this is one. Now you know the story behind my collecting your cache:
My tally for the day jumped from eleven to twenty-five comprising 1 Trig, 6 Puzzles, three traditionals and now fifteen moveables.

I Sainted the cache at 1400hrs.

After putting the caches in the car, I took some pics of my mates house. Back in the car myself and continued on the way to look for TasStats 7 again.

TFTC and cheers
OldSaint.

With such cold and inclement weather this past few weeks up this way in north west Tassie, going any where geocaching for me seemed to be out of the question. A good time to plan the various trips required in order to satisfy the various conflicting elements of the current DZ trophy points system. One trophy requirement is to find 100 moveable caches of which I need to find a further 13. So last night to my surprise, I saw 4 moveable caches had popped up on the radar and all with in a couple of hrs drive from home.

I had thought of going caching last night but it was quite cold and even with a superb torch....power torch from Kleva Range.....with out doubt the best torch I have ever had.....it would be difficult finding all of the 4 moveable caches, so decided to head off early today....plus it was a better fit for some of the other dz trophy requirements..e.g. number of dz caches per day of the week, also for each day of the month plus the winter solstice trophy.

Thankfully the weather was reasonably fine this morning with some clouds about.... so the hunt was on. As soon as I had put my hat and boots on, Murder(the younger of the two canine family....4 yo) started to get pretty excited as he just loves both bush walking and travelling around in the geo fourby. My eldest canine...Sirius...is now too old(16.8 y.o.) to leave the comfort of his bed in front of the wood heater...which has an electric blanket of course(which he just loves and is great for his arthritis). Having walked 100's of km's with me geocaching over the years up numerous mountains, bush walking along many trails plus along vast stretches of beaches etc while geocaching, he has certainly earned his rest..an amazing companion who never gave up no matter how hard it was for him...a truly remarkeable companion.

Looking at the various cache locations I had planned a route which would take me east along the highway from Ulverstone to Devonport then out to Bakers Beach Road toward Narawntapu National Park and then south out to Gowrie Park which is just past Sheffield(town of murals).

Looking at the 2nd moveable cache on my list.....'BINGO 83-little red matchbox-I've got this bronze badge that says that I'm one of the good guys'.... in it's posted location I had a pretty good idea on where it would be as I had found other moveables quite near here in the past. Once at gz...a quick find was had.This cache will be set free in a few days, further east near Launceston. Many thanks  'Covert' for placing  this cache for us all to share and enjoy....very much appreciated.Having secured the 2nd cache on the list it is now off to try for the 3rd cache over near Narawntapu National Park..cheers ST

I found this one in my possession after quite a while. I've hidden it again to get it back out there. The owner can unarchive it to get it moving again.
 
This cache looks like it's MIA so to stop it turning up in the search lists we'll archive it. If the owner can confirm it's in place they can reactive the listing by placing an unarchived log against the cache.

It would seem this cache will not be seen anywhere soon.

Perched between the branches of an olive tree. There's a double listed cache nearby too.

After seeing this one dnf'd all those months ago, we thought that this one was gone. Driving past today we dropped in for a break and decided to have a search. Much to our surprise we saw a tell tale poking it's head up and made a long overdue *FTF* 12 months and 21 days after publishing.

Thanks for the cache Covert.
