Description

Okay so this isn't a traditional form of transport but Father Christmas uses it every year and the shop we were at whilst on holidays in Melbourne was selling an awful lot. So it must be popular! 

 

Please move our cache to a simple hide and add a hint to help the next finder, after all the aim is to be found and moved ASAP. No tricky hides or way out

woop woop hides will help this guy to move along or any others in the bingo game.

 

Please abide by the below rules and most of all have fun!!!

 

Thanks for being part of bingo.

 

Regards

Given this was moved here 3 years ago, perhaps I was over-ambitious to hire canoe and paddle across.
Much evidence of muggle vandal activity at this location.

Hired a kayak for a paddle on Narrabeen Lagoon - a dragon-free zone. The rain held off and the sun broke through. Found a nice little beach on Wimbledon Island with a small clearing behind it and left a bunch of movables there.

I didn't realise there was a survey marker on this plinth. Great spot. Found at 10:15 am. Will move to a new hide but may take 1-2 weeks.

There is a the coolest survey marker right here... looks like it should be a trig but sadly no. Just a giant plinth with stairs to a bronze disk! Great views and the cache is very nearby.

Watch out for spikey plants!

Wow that is a LOT of caches my BB brought home! I would have gone too but some of us had to go to work. Now my house is full of Gnomes, frogs, Bingos and Angels! I’m going to have to do something about this and start hiding them again before they take over our unit once and for all! Very Happy

Operation: Dawn of War (Clan Phoenix Clan Phoenix Gnomeland Raid)

Cache Condition:
Now here is something different! All healthy Reindeer here!

Operation Summary: Leaving Sydney at 4am to reach The Gnomelands by dawn I kicked off the 'The Great Mount Piddington Moveable Challenge' with a raid of freedom to release over 60 moveables from their mountain prison to freedom. 4.5 hours of morning caching saw a good few sack-fulls return with me to Sydney.

The caches have been moved to St Leonards for some TLC and a bath so don’t go looking for them there. They will be released shortly in various locations.

Left where it was.

The angels (and associated moveables) made their way via Young and Bathurst to Wentworth Falls where they were handed over to the local Blue Mountains authorities in exchange for three rather devious angels which hitched a lift to Sydney. Already gone.

Picked up at the Yass Service Centre, will head to the Blue Mountains or Sydney.

A bit of a chilly start after my trip up north, but it was nice and quiet where these four where hidden. I gabbed them all and will move them on soon. Thanks.

Grabbed this one on purpose and then found the close GZ cache. It has been rehidden already and new co-ords will be up shortly.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks FelixII for this touring container here today. When the eldest got into the car after picking her up at a friends house, she was quite impressed with the transport themed cache.

Took a couple of extra days to get this one back into the wild, sorry. Travelled to Geelong today for s-facit to compete so during the lunch break I enjoyed a pleasant walk further along the river and found a suitable place for a sleigh to lay.

I decided to visit Wattle Park tonight so I could pickup a GC cache for a blank on my GeoCalendar but it was a good opportunity to grab a few moveables. This one had been DNF'd but I thought it worth a search. In the end it took me a good 15 minutes of searching as I finally discovered how well this cache blends into the background of grass and bark! It was fully uncovered but still very hard to see!
Thanks FelixII, will hide again soon

Today I was in Murembeena and SirJ mentioned he had a few moveables on his doorstep. I thought there would be three so I was extremely surprised when I found about 20 of them! Only picked up 10 of them though.

We hope this is still sitting in it's hidey hole. it's twin in Perth is very popular and there is much fighting about it staying for somebodies Xmas table rather than moving on Anxious

PrayPray Hmmm after some consultation with the boffins this is back in play.

We have consulted Google maps and think the co-ords should be okay.

Fingers Crossed. We don't want to waste anybodies time. I'm a Laaaaaaaady, duh!I'm a Gnome, duh!RibbitRibbit
