Logs
Looks like this one has disappeared, so we'll archive it. If it does re-appear the listing can be re-activated.
Area has changed since cache was hidden when looking at the Google street view. Cannon are now in a line against the hull of the vessel and the bushes have gone.
A review of this moveable has shown that the cache may still be in location, just sitting there waiting to be found. So, if you're in the area, or simply passing through, why not stop and help it on its way again.....
Reading previous logs, this moveable may still be in location OR may have been found, removed and not relocated. 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….

I nearly didn't bother searching this one out, as I had assumed the previous finder would have taken it with them. Good thing I checked, as the cache is now sitting under our side verandah at home, awaiting it's next move.
Thanks lbjezza.

Discovered 'Tractor Bingo' at the Moveable & Mystery Madness Event held in Whiteman Park. The forecast was for rain but we were blessed with good weather for the day. A small but dedicated group of geocachers and a couple of new faces attended and exchanged stories of caches found and missed. Many thanks Lbjezza for the cache.

According to Wikipedia...
Whiteman Park is a 4,000-hectare (9,900-acre; 15 sq mi) bushland area located 22km north of Perth, Western Australia. The park is in the suburb of Whiteman, in the Swan Valley in the upper reaches of the Swan River. It encompasses the source of Bennett Brook - an important nyoongar location, and source of mythology of the Wagyl and stories about aboriginal occupancy of the area. Whiteman Park is known for its biodiversity, including over 450 endemic plants and more than 120 vertebrate animals (some of which are rare and endangered). Over 17% of Western Australian bird species occur in Whiteman Park, including migratory birds attracted to the habitat provided by Bennett Brook and associated wetlands including Grogan's Swamp, a Conservation Category Wetland. The state government purchased the land from a variety of private owners in 1978, to protect the underlying aquifer as a drinking water source for Perth. The major owner was Lew Whiteman (1903–1994), after whom the park is named.
Whiteman Park includes bushwalking trails, bike paths, sports facilities and playgrounds. The park is also host to heritage transport groups and their collections: The Perth Electric Tramway Society runs a 4km electric tram journey around the park, running a tram that used to be in service on the Fremantle network. Caversham Wildlife Park; Bennett Brook Railway; The Tractor Museum of Western Australia; The Western Australian Motor Museum; Bus Preservation Society of Western Australia; and Revolutions Transport Museum.

A Melbourne cacher visited recently and left behind a bag full of GCA moveables. This was one of them.
It's heading to see The Morris in Bendigo in a few days.

Moved along as a family as this can be a very scary place at night. They will keep each other company until someone comes along to move them.
Out for a cold afternoon of caching (no wind, no rain, just icy weather) and we came across this cache (and a few friends). With an easy drive by we picked up the family of related movable caches and will re hide them later this afternoon. This will hopefully get them back on the moving track.

The Mad Bunnies, having driven all the way from Adelaide to Canberra, decided that nothing could be better than an evening drive to find a few more movables.

Didn't intend to move, but I ran back to the car with these caches in hand.. so figured may as well put them somewhere!
As they say in the classics, a quick move is a good move....... 
#GA868 - 19:30; I saw this little tractor had plowed into town from down south with a few mates. Picked up and quickly dropped off to keep it moving some more. TFTG lbjezza

overlooking the valley, watching the farm work below
Dropped off at a low Budget hide for the blue bird to move on.
Hi LBJEZZA
Had a lot of fun locating this cache
A typo had me searching on the other side of the bridge with no luck
Read the clue and then realised where the cache was hidden
Got it on my return to the car and the car park
Enjoyed the display put on by a peacock on the way back.
Also checked on the small whip snake I'd seen at my previous find as I walked back along the track.
TFTC and cheers

Left Tractor Bingo near the car park waiting for its next pickup.
Ah! Two new moveables nearby. Jumped in the car and headed off to GZ where accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. Thanks Sharnie's Tribe for leaving them in our area. We will move them on soon.
Moved this cache to the north west of Tassie. Back out ready to play near Ulverstone with a friend. TFTC
A quick find with the aid of accurate coordinates and the hint. Will move north west. TFTC
Moved to tassie for some fun in the cold
This cache is heading for Tassie. If the owner has any objections, let me know before Sunday.
Temporary parking on the edge of Kings Park 
Back in the wild along with a couple of other moveables and hanging out at a traditional cache.
