Black Beetle Welbourn Hill, South Australia, Australia
By sharnie's tribe on 01-Dec-12. Waypoint GA5476

Looks like he's gone missing!

I went looking for this and found the coordinates were shared with a GC cache. The little car was not here. Possibly someone took it for a swap, not knowing anything about GA caches. This moveable cache needs to be marked as missing. Sorry .

The Black Beetle is on the loose again, by the side of the Stuart Highway.
Not far south of Marla Bore
This was as far north as I dared take it, as it is getting a bit warm during the day and the engine is overheating

Happy travels little V'dub

Hey !! Same model Beetle as my parents owned back in 1969 !!
Theirs was a funny gum-leaf green colour though

I have taken this bug for a ride north !!

Dropped off on my way out of Perth

I was about to head out to the hardware store when I noticed that Rogue had been through and dropped off a couple of moveables that I hadn't had before so I made a brief diversion on my way to pick them up. This was the first I picked up. TFTC.

Dropped off the beetle whilst walking around the river. Safe travels

I picked up the black beetle and will move it on to a new location very soon. Thanks for the cache!

Dropped off for others to find.

Tricky
A very big thank you to Nutwood for leaving us some new caches to chase.

Found time on a recent trip to leave a trail of moveables. The advantage of moving West for a few days is that it's very easy to get up earlier than the locals. The downside to this is that when I hid these caches the traffic was very mild. Extreme care will be needed under busier conditions.
I believe surveys revealed that the beetle is the most reliable car. Of course, participation in the surveys was voluntary which may mean that beetles simply have the most loyal owners. I thought I'd cover all bets and have hidden this cache within easy reach of an emergency phone; just in case...
Access heading South.

If the Beetle is still in action we will unarchive! Thanks Nutwood, please move the Black Beetle on.

Discovered this cache whilst on a hunt for GA3732. Great cache that I don't recall finding during the race.I can either mail back home (PM with address) or re-hide to continue travelling?

Seems this one has gone missing!

Checked the hide while in the area today - none of the three moveables I hid are there. Covering bark still in place, so not animals.

Back out.

Collected

This cache "mobile" is hidden in a very guarded situation with two other caches!

Hi to the Tribe
Found this mover sitting on top of another cache that I found this morning. Couldn't resist taking it!
Found the "Pregnant Parstie" at 1118hrs this morning and hid it on the way home this afternoon.
TFTC and cheers

Sitting on a new GC cache at Rose Bay

Remembered this car had been hidden here so stopped on the off chance we might be able to locate without the coords. Lucky for us it was hidden where we thought was a good hide. TFTC.

I felt a bit "buggered" after walking back up from the nearby cache (Sunday Drive #1), so I dropped off this bug to lighten the load.

Collected on a damp afternoon.

Moved to Hobart Domain

The GPS was telling us the wrong side of the road, but once moving over it was soon found. Black Beetle will be moved to a new spot soon. In the same spot Fire Up Bingo! was found, so two for the rice of one. TFTC sharnie's tribe

Our ambition was greater than what we could achieve on this walk. This was partly brought about by the fact that the multicache took us on a circuit of Rosny Hill that we had already just walked. Those we didn't get can wait for another day.

Anne wanted to keep this one for our next door neighbour, a mad beetle fan.
Caching won in the end.

A quick drop on the way to work
Can be approached in either direction. Cache is in the southbound turn around area. Be on the ball when pulling over as if you miss the turn it’s a long way back. Cache is a safe distance from the highway. Sorry about the thistles.

bingo

Back out again in the bingo playground

Found at a lovely gathering on a wonderful Lonnie evening.

Handed to DaFiChNi at an event

Found during an evening wander in Sulphur Creek. Will be out soon. Love "the beetle".

The Black Beetle is back out and ready to play.

Found our Beetle. Needed this number for several of our cards.

The nice shiny Beetle is down by the beach...

Yay, a Beetle! I've always liked this model of car. Thanks for the nice cache and the FTF!
