Many thanks C@H for the cache.
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!
Grabbed some nearby munzees too!
I found this movable at a recent event.

An enjoyable time had and a few caches to log.
Thanks for the cache and the event!

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.
Thanks C@H for the little red matchbox with the really really really long name I will move it along soon
Cheers OldSaint
This car had been sitting in this spot for some time so I thought a move was in order
Found this one and two others hidden in a black stump - poor little movers
Sainted at 1412 hours
Rode the bike in for this collection, fun; must do it more often
Will get him back out ASAP
TFTC and cheers

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.

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.
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.
Enjoy the rest of your journey
Cheers OldSaint.
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

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 think a trip to Tassie is called for. That'll at least put some miles on the clock!
well placed
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.
Thanks for the cache
Thanks for the cache Covert.
