Description
This little moveable is one of a series of ten which have a monopoly on the GA4740's. Some of these little tokens are very obviously travel related, others less so, but do not be fooled. These tokens have been travelling some of the worlds most famous streets for more than seventy years. The cannon is one of the original tokens. It first appeared in the standard set of pieces in 1935.
If you feel that a cannon has absolutely no place in a game about transport, don't despair. This cannon is an essential part of the transport of our cache, "The Thimble" (GA 4742)
We like to include a FTF pathtag in our hides but this was obviously impractical with these little magnetics. Instead we have decided to offer a FTF pathtag to the first teams to find all ten tokens. This offer is for the duration of "Bingo", so if you find all ten before the end of January, just PM us with your dates and a mailing address and you have a very good chance of receiving a FTF tag. Because there are ten tokens, we're offering ten tags. We won't be keeping track so first in best dressed!
This is a Bingo cache so we ask finders to respect the rules. Please do not log a find unless you are prepared to move this cache to a new location at least one kilometre from where you found it.

Another new moveable find!
Many thanks to rogerw3 for moving this one to the mountains!
Spotted this at the event today after Zal had brought it up from Tasmania, but I wasn't the one to take it and move it on. But still nice to see a new moveable that we didn't see during the race up here in Sydney. Thanks nutwood33.
Found without GPSr - I nearly thought that it wasn't here and was just about to leave when I spotted it from a distance.
Will place out with all the others I have sitting at home, soon.
Thanks for the find.
