Description

One of our entries in 'Bingo', the transport-themed '12/'13 moving cache race.

kay says this is the only van we'll ever own.  This little purple people mover is set to travel the country in this year's moving cache race.

THIS IS A MOVEABLE CACHE - pick it up, take it with you, and hide it somewhere else within two days.  Be sure to record accurate coordinates at the new location and log that new location!!!  Feel free to enter a hint as well if your hide is a little tricky. 

This car begins its journey in Golden Grove, SA and is free to roam anywhere in Australia.

Logs

This geocache appears to be MIA so to stop it clogging the search lists we'll archive it.

A review shows the cache may have been collected from its currently listed co-ords, however it has not been relocated. The previous finder was contacted regarding the cache however it has not been relocated. As a result, we are archiving the cache to stop cachers looking for a cache that is obviously not at the listed co-ords. This is also done to keep the Geocaching Australia database clean and up to date,

If the cache owner can confirm that the cache has be relocated, they can post an unarchive log and the cache will be back in the game.

 
Reading previous logs, this moveable may still be in location OR may have been found, removed and not relocated yet. We know moveables can sometimes be forgotten / missed / left in the bottom of a caching bag, so a check has been undertaken on this one.

An update will be posted within 28 days….

The better half and I went out for a drive in the country picking up some traditional caches and a whole load of moveable ones. The sealed roads that we went on were obviously OK but according to the better half not the gravel and 4wd ones which only confirmed her aversion to going down them in any vehicle.

Picked up these moveables on the way back to the City after visiting York and other places in between.

Thanks for the cache.

Time to catch up and log all the moves made for the large number of moveable caches that we have accumulated over the last months.

On the trip out into the Wandoo forrest area with the better half doing some maintenance of my caches after a fire and we dropped off a number of moveable caches along the way.

I was being looked after by Chwiliwr and the better half for the day at their place and whilst there saw a whole big group of moveable caches that were being organised for a move somewhere by my grandparents so played with them for a bit before they were packed up. (Those that were not too fragile to be played with.)

Thanks for the cache.

My 2WD could only make it so far, walking remainder 360m up the rocky road to the top. Good view from up here, including southern end of Super Pit. Left a gnome behind here in its place.
Hit the road shortly after sunrise, into a forecast 37C day, finding a total 19 caches; 15 of these being dragonZone thus earning "Ides of March" trophy; with two FTF Trig's.
Thank you ma77hew & kay
