Description

A moveable cache for the Bingo event

3-2-1-Blast off!!!! We have ignition!

 

This Bingo Trackable is part of the GCA Race running from December 1, 2012 'til January 31, 2013.

 

Please help it fulfil it's mission by signing the log book and logging your find online, then moving it along as soon as you can. Race on!

 

The rules of the "Moving Cache BINGO Game" are published on the Caching Games site - a ranking ladder and a map are also available.

 

Logging this cache is easy:

First Step

Log your find with a 'Found it' log (this will give you your smiley!)

Second Step

When you have moved the cache to a new location (a minimum of 1km from where you found it), log a 'Moved' log,
adding the new co-ordinates and a hint.

 

So go for it - this transport-themed cache is out there waiting for you!

 

This container is a bit of an experiment, hopefully it'll last the distance. It has a certain magnetic appeal to help with the hiding potential.

 

Logs

A review of this moveable shows the cache has been collected from its currently listed co-ords, however it has not been relocated. As this is now over 12 months ago, the cache is being archived to stop cachers looking for a cache that is obviously not at the listed co-ords.

This is also done to help keep the Geocaching Australia database clean and up to date.

If the cacher owner confirms that the cache has been relocated, the cache can be unarchived.

Hi AmethystPig
A trip up the NW Coast of 1038km netted me 16 caches on day one; having an unexpected stop over at the Seabrook Motel (Somerset) on Saturday Night (was going back in one day but changed our minds); and 7 caches on the second day - total 23 finds.
Visited Wesley Vale, Devonport, Turners Beach, Forth, Ulverstone, Heybridge and Burnie on the first day. Second day; Natone, Penguin, Launceston, Grindelwald, Rosevears and Notleys gorge before driving back to the Huon.

This cache was the 5th and was found quickly on the guard rail at Forth, Tasmania.
Cache and log were Sainted at 1255hrs.
Driving to the cache along Lobster Creek Rd the damage by recent floods was still very evident. River banks were washed away, logs piled on the river banks and sand still over the road.
TFTC and cheers
OldSaint.

Saw two moveable caches pop up on the radar before tea but thought I'd grab them tomorrow morning.
Never been night caching before...so darn...grabbed the head torch and phone and headed out. Thankfully the wind had dropped and was quite a bit warmer than this afternoon.
Arrived at gz...was just a matter of feel Razz ng for this small magnetic...then bingo...cache in hand. Thoroughly enjoyed the night hunt...thanks very much for the cache...cheers sirius.

A group of three moveables survived the wild seas better than Mrs W and arrived feeling fit after their cruise on the Spirit of Tasmania today. Hidden together for warmth as a bit wet and cold. Come on Tasmanian cachers let's get these moveables moving around Tassie.

This one ended up coming home with me at the end of the Springtime Trivia event (a 3D printed space shuttle?! - how could I NOT grab this one from the pile looking for rides home? lol)
... then life got in the way for a week or 4 ...
I am hoping to pass it on/put it somewhere either tomorrow, or sometime in the next few days.

#GA206 - 10:00; I had made an attempt on this one just after it had crossed the border back into the ACT, but was beaten to the punch. I was pleased to spot this one and a few of its travelling companions at the Spring Time Trivia Time - 2014 Event today and can now remove it from the 'to do' list. TFTC AmethystPig Dancing

09-Jan-13
As I'm not actually playing the Bingo game, I left the cache where I found it so that those who are playing can move it on. This 'Move' log confirms the coordinates.

Good luck Very Happy.

I was a tad worried when I approached GZ tonight as there are myriad hiding spots to place a cache here but thankfully the cache presented quite quickly at 19:35 Very Happy.

Dropped these ones off yesterday evening but didnt have the GPS with me as GMelb had it at a Night Cache FTF mini-event. Thought it didnt matter as I was sure I had a record of the co-ords for this spot somewhere as we have used it a few times during this Bingo game but could not find them anywhere. So had to go up there this morning and take a set of co-ords lol

Sorry it took so long to place.
I had it in the car and it grabbed the wrong bit of metal and hid from me.

I have put the cache in the starting point for one of our gnome racers.
Hope it travels well.

Some one has access to a 3D printer.
Nice Job.
I planned to pick this up on Thursday night but I had GPS issues and didn't get back until this morning.
So now I have it - I have to move it to a good spot.

Not the first find, but did spot it at todays 12/12/12, while the owner ws carefully signing a few others....

Left for someone else to Blast Off to the next location.

After an aborted take-off at the 'Five Dozen CITO' event, this one will have a second launch attempt at the 'Five Dozen Mystery' - but it won't be there 'til I am!
 
12-Dec-12
I was hoping someone would grab it at the GC CITO event, but it didn't happen so I'll try again at the midday event. Current coordinates won't be accurate once I drive off!

Please lift, don't drag, or A Joy Egg will be sad.
