Description
Part of the 2012 Moving Cache Race :: BINGO!
Can you guess how this cache fits in with the rule "peripherally related to transport"?
Just after they invented the wheel someone stuck their thumb out and tried to hitch a lift.
A little while later they hit a pot hole in the track and broke the wheel.
My little self portrait is cast from an alloy rim that hit a bump and cracked.
Their loss, my gain. I got to play with this nice bit of metal.

Logs
Caching in the area and searched for this moveable as well as the other 6 listed here.
The co ords took us to a spot consistent with the hint but unfortunately no sign of any of them.

Close to the coal jetties & near one of three impressive Groundspeak caches, the others on your way. Ignore the sign about no entry as public can now drive to locked gate which is where you park. Beware of snakes, green & black ants. A bunch of 'em.
Found with a bunch of his mates on a wild & windy day - thanks to Throsbyonchurch for the special delivery.
Down for a fellow cacher to Collect
I could say I found Self Portrait, but in reality, it's probably a comme ci comme ca. It was pretty funny chasing movable gnomes , angels , frogs etc down the freeway only to catch them and be plucking them from their hide'y hole and bursting at the seams carrying these wiggly giggly thingys back to a box in your mobile and clutching onto them almost for dear life. The whole look is hilarious. An enormous Thank You to Just a Cacher and Black Bunny for finding Self Portrait and dropping him off. Thank you SamWalkers for sharing Self Portrait.

Went out to near Yass, and found a surprising number of movables, all in one spot.

Feeling really cranky, you travel all this this way to collect caches and people don't log that they have taken them, or they've had them in their possession for months. No consideration. Ruins the game!!! and it's unfair. ..... i'm just cranky because there are supposed to be 86 movables in the ACT to date and I can't access the majority of them and I'm fining this to be the case most of the time. Right or wrong from what I can see I can see why cachers don't bother too much about Geocaching Australia caches.

Dropped in Canberra and already grabbed by a local.....
Found it passed into my hands from LuckyL10n. A rather interesting cache container and concept. I like it. Signed the log and hope it has a good run.

Found this cache (discovered and not moved) today at a cold and wet pathtags/trackables event in Brimbank park - I think the caches might have outnumbered the cachers!
Spotted at the Pathtags, Geocoins, Moveable Caches, Travelbugs Swap Meet event (GA7283).
I was happy to add some GCA caches to the table and also left with a couple to move along.
Thanks for creating this cache so we can all play this great game.

Dropped off in a 2-for-5 moveable exchange on a lunchtime caching run.
Thanks again SamWalkers.
Thanks again SamWalkers.
Thanks for going and giving it a go. It is never too late.I thought that this one was a dead cache. I felt I had lost a little part of me.
I didn't have high hopes with the cache being in position for 2 years but I was on my way past. A nice specific hint but things have changed so it took a few minutes to uncover the small cache.
Thanks SamWalkers for the cache. I'll move on soon(ish)
