Description

Bingo Race

I am an Ice Cream Van that took part in the Bingo Moveable Cache Race of 2012/2013.  I have come out of retirement to help with Research Tasks.  There is no log book to sign. By logging a find and then a move will prove you have found me. Please add a hint.

As I am small, please take me far and wide. I will not take up much room if you wish to take me to the big Island.

Mr Whippy has motored to a new location in Bicentennial Gardens. There is a fun game called Disc Golf played in the gardens with frisbees. Some children may want to buy ice cream in the gardens. Mr Whippy is happy to stay awhile but welcomes visitors to help him continue his travels. Thanks for your company.

I visited Schusters Park on the Gold Coast on the last day of Blitz 2021. I was amazed that the park was filled with movables. I found Mr Whippy along with the Air Bus but didn't realise at the time. I thought the van was the Bus. There were two movables in the middle of the tree. I ventured back to the Park again to recheck I had all the pieces for the two movables. Mr Whippy will travel along to a new location playing a tune. Thanks Whitewebbs for the movable.

GA13227 and GA5399 continue to travel together. With all the moveables I have placed in Samboo (err Schusters Park) they decided they preferred to stay here in the park, although separated from everyone else. As we searched for a suitable hiding spot we noted several trees which has old iron mongery either embedded or scattered at the base. You see Schuster Park was originally a dairy farm and old Mr Schuster also earned money back in the late 19th and 20th Century as a blacksmith. Maybe these iron bits are from then. In any case, the smell of iron was comforting to Mr Whippy and Air Bus. It reminded them of bus/truck repair shops.

Safe travels.

Hello Mr Whippy, welcome to the Gold Coast. I just heard Greensleeves being played by a truck in the neighbour but they never come into my street.

Being summer and serving lots of cold yummy ice-cream, I am sure there will be lots of demand for your services. I shall have to find you a spot where you can serve your public. Good that you are small, since that makes you easier to hide.

Thank you for the moveable.

Question: Do Mr Whippy drivers ever get sick of Greensleeves?

Picked up this little cache close to a new section of highway that isn't opened yet. I'll take him for a bit and drop him off somewhere in QLD.

When these two cars stopped here, the highway was empty. Because she was wearing the invisibility cloak of hi-vis, and because she just felt like it, their driver went for a walk down the highway, leaving these guys parked here.
 
I was lucky enough to have a bunch of moveables appear on my doorstep/carstep. Will move when we all can again. Haha
