Description
These Poké-Balls are sick of transporting cute Nintendo Mascots, and now play bingo!
There once were 4 Poké-Balls who were tired of transporting Pokémon around and wanted to join in on the new world wide craze* BINGO. So they kicked out their cute Japanese pocket monsters and replaced them with a geocache and log book.
This ball, "Poké-Ball Bingo #47", is racing around the country helping you to fill in your Geo-Bingo Card! It would love to knock off as many of the number "47" targets as possible. It automatically stamps your Geo-BINGO Cards if you move it 1km or more :D
*NB: Not actually world wide or crazed.
It is a Red and White Poké-Ball with a micro cache inside. However, it is unsure if the new paint job is weather proof so keeping it high and dry may be best! It's other 3 Poké-pals are Poké-Ball Bingo #37, #44 & #48. Together they will stamp off your Geo-Bingo cards over December and January this 2012/13 Summer!
If you find it, take it with you and log a "FOUND" Entry. Then find it a new home and take the co-ordinates there and come back to log a "MOVED" entry. Remember you must move it more than 1km for its Bingo Stamping mission to be successful!!
Please try NOT to hide it next to existing GC.com caches so he doesnt get stolen by mistake!

Cache Condition: Havent seen you for a while! We got note some of your friends may be AWOL this week so glad one is still intact!
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.
Found in Wentworth Falls! Another new moveable for moi!
Thanks to Yurt for the transportation.
Found whilst out for a drive with Black Bunny.

Thanks for the continued fun of the moveables.

A quick grab in some beautiful but chilly countryside today.
Thanks for the cache.
However with Gnomes in charge this may turn into a dictatorship, it remains to see if emmigration is greater than immigration.
Another find close to home . . .
Many thanks to rogerw3 for the transportation . . .
Found Poke 47 again at rogerw3's 'End of the Year Walk' at Mt. Victoria. Left him at the starting point for others to move . . .
Look behind the banksia tree under the Lomandra grass.
