Picked this moveable up and it's now with me. Will be heading on a trip north later this week...
Dropped off opposite Callum Brae in Symonston. In the 'usual' tree hollow.
Found with Goldenwattle. We will move the cache on. TFTC.

After a lovely Christmas party in Tuggeranong with a book group (we talked about everything, but books), I met up with Decrypter, and we came here to find a cache and this. Cache is still fine. TFTC SpatialRiq.

Quick find for this one today - in fact I saw it from the car, as it was out in the open.
Will find somewhere nice to put it soon.

Up this way for the game but no luck with the two moveables - looked everywhere bar where the cache was.
Woops, so sorry, I was supposed to place this weeks ago, laced it in my caching bag and forgot until I found it today. So I moved it to the dashboard and drove out to Robertson and found it a temporary home.
Safe travels and lets hope you don't end up nesting any longer.

Woo hoo, yippee yeah yeah!! Got it !!!!
3:20pm and we made it. We left the car park and made our way through the bush along what looks like a track. Scratching my head wondering if someone or something has been through here somewhat recently and cleared a path as I don't remember this access last time, and I noticed some broken trees that I didn't think would occur here, but I suppose anything is possible. As we closed in on the first rock formation seen from the lookout things began to get steep and thick. We tried to meander our way around the obvious looking tracks. Down a little bit of steep section and up, up and up another. We came to a rock face and didn't know how to tackle things from here. Should we go back and find another way or head for the rock face and climb up beside it. My companion opted to go back and find another route which we did as it was clear the Trig and the movable cache we were after was not directly ahead up but and over. Back we went for a few metres and then headed in a steep north north west direction finally making our way up onto the rocks. It was also clear this was a good choice as there was no Trig near here. I am not sure about my companion, but I was most certainly fed up with constantly being tangled, vines trying to trip me over and just generally trying to carefully get through. I said to my companion that I was fed up and want to abort this mission and it appeared all we had a head of us was thick bush bashing. However, with all that we had endured thus far and that we had come this far, there was no way I was going to give up. I did not want to leave 'Kitty Car' here one more day and I sure as anything did not want to come back here again.
Moving through the undergrowth through here was again very challenging and at one point I noticed there appeared to be a cliff ahead, so we wisely backed off and headed a different direction. My companion turned around and excitedly announced the Trig could be seen ahead. Fortunately for us the negotiation of thick scrub was short lived as we tried to remain on the rocks. We excitedly arrived at the Trig and then spent quite some time searching for the 'Kitty Car'. There was four years of growth in them bushes and things were very different after all this time. It was difficult to decipher which direction we should be looking as the mobile and the gps appeared to not agree. All I knew was there was a 10 metre radius to search and so we did. It was quite difficult and if I had not have persisted and looked deep down we would have been leaving poor 'kitty Car' here. NO way, NOT happening !! i tell you it was a very squeal happy moment the second we plucked it from its hole - a thrilling moment indeed. I think we were more thrilled for you, patiently waiting for some sucker to retrieve it. After all we had been through I was really not wanting to leave it here until another time. It was found in very, very good condition but amid a quarter of a container of water after a critter nibbled the top edge of the lid. I will clean it up and get it back into the land of sanity. I decided we should head directly to the road and what a wise decision it was. The scrub was not thick at all and we were able to meander along the Kangaroo/Wombat tracks, so much easier !! and then scale down the rocks nearer the road. Then we had some fun meandering our way through the thick ferns as carefully as we could. Out on the road we went and then walked back to the lookout. I am going to pay dearly for this hard core exercise session tomorrow
Thanks for not archiving it.
I have some video footage that I will edit and you can see where 'Kitty Car' was located and the adventure we had.

I am hoping the weather will be kind this Sunday afternoon and I hope to go and play fish with this movable....
This movable has been on my radar for some time. I have had a go at getting to GZ to grab it a couple of years back but found it difficult to know which is the best in road. I will make a note to try again, but I think it will involve some bush bashing, so will wait until the wriggle sticks and 8-legged-racers go back to bed and the weather cools before I have another go. This movable has been here far to long, so I will try and get it back into action again.
Dropped off a bit further along the coast and up the hill from where I found this moveable. Hope it attracts more attention to itself and the nearby trig.
Found in the hands of Sol de Lune. Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

GCA 1101 - 10858. Drive By Moveable as Boot put it !
Spotted in the hands of Sol de lune on the side of Mt. Taylor - therefore a quick find !
TFTC !!
I find that the moveables are a great addition to geocaching. The fun of chasing them around - sometimes finding them in place - sometimes not - puts a bit more interest on the Geocaching Australia side of things. These games also tend to boost the numbers of moveables around - especially in December and January - perfect time to spend a bit more time caching away in Summer and / or holidays. My favourites tend to be the Gnomes - memories of a misspent childhood come to mind.... Lol.

#GA602 - 12:35; I've had my eye on this nest of moveables for quite some time and wasn't sure if they would survive the wait until my next visit. Dropped by today on the way to Nowra and found that all was quiet. I managed a thorough inspection which delivered eight moveables and a GCA traditional. I had just finished my work when a family of muggles turned up to use the playground. Fifteen minutes earlier and I may have been snookered! Swapped one of the CO's Angels for the Kitty Car.

Had intended to drop a bunch of moveables at my Mittagong Transfer Point after finding a new GCA cache at Marulan but a DNF! Feeling glum decided not to go that way so they are back here. Thankfully I waymark so had a very good day overall.
I had a watch on another moveable which is part of a bunch dropped here. It is a fair way down but I once drove to this rest stop to check on Macca's Mover which had been burnt to a crisp in a bushfire so a trip for 7 could be rationalised. The highway has been upgraded since then as well. A very cool day. I may be travelling this way soon depending on factors but paranoia set in - you never know. The hint got me there.
Hid them the way I found them, together. Accuracy not the best but the hint should help.
One of seven I pulled out of the scrub. Hadn't intended to take it with me but there were workers everywhere sweeping twigs, erecting a new fence plus a helicopter delivering water board equipment so they all jumped in the car with me. Oh well, a new experience. The book was wet so left it sitting on the table until last.
Found this kitty lingering near the railway station. I have a couple of young red belly black snakes in the backyard which wildlife rescue haven't been able to catch yet so will introduce Kitty to them, being a cat lover.
Time to move now on for a train ride to the South Coast.
Don't bother looking, this one is long gone.

A quick move to the mountains for a short stopover. Don't bother looking it is gone already.
This one and its 3 friends were almost DNFs! The coords being 18 metres off it made for a long and frustrating search in a spots where there are literally hundreds of hiding places and no hints given to help.
I spent 20 minutes looking in vain gradually expending my search circle and at 10 metres I decided to take a break and go find the other 4 moveables only 60 metres away the coords for these were fine as it is also a GC cache.
I went back up the hill and spent another 40 minutes in vain, I had left the last bit of the 18 metres circle as it was on the foot pad heading back to the fire trail, and wouldn't you know it right next to the track in a rock crack where nothing was showing but I thought well I might as well look in here, I have checked everything else and there they were well buried under leaves, dirt etc..
Just as well after coming all the way from Lithgow by public transport!

While visiting Perth, staying with family in Lesmurdie I grabbed a heap of moveable caches that had been in the area of the base of the falls almost all year. I'll move on in Canberra shortly.
Thanks Felix II, Caches are watching all the fire and police trucks driving around my suburb

Very busy day today with several appointments. Managed to move these caches en masse and find some new ones too.
Finally home for a rest and to log them all.

Hmmm today is a special day in our house but Mr Felix was late home 
So after confirming he was on his way home a message was sent me out hunting moveables as it was too hot to go earlier.
This was the second that we picked up, but not after 1 of us had dyslexia with the co-ords

Dropped off the Kitty Car in place of another cache I found here. Safe travels!
This was the first one I found today, and I took the less conventional way of arriving at GZ, only to find a brand new road right nearby!
I will take this one to a new home very soon! Thanks for the cache SpatialRiq!
