Description
Albert is a late (Dec 11) entrant in Caching Bingo, a Geocaching Australia game that runs from 1 December 2012 until 31 January 2013.
Your challenge is to locate this cache, collect it, make your log and re-hide it somewhere else, as far away as possible, and as quickly as possible. When you find it and move it along, please re-hide it safely, but provide a hint in your "moved" log so that he can easily found next time.
Albert looks ludicrously happy in his little seat and I hope you are happy to find him and move him along.

Apologies to the cache owner for having this cache for so long, sometimes life gets in the way of caching. 
Back out again now ready to play
Back out again now ready to playVery happy to see that Albert is still traveling around, enjoying himself. Thank you to all finders and hiders of this little man!
Hi sog12
Arrived at GZ, a small resting area at Parramatta Creek in Tasmania and it was an open area.
The search for the cache was very quick.
Sainted at 1202hrs.
It was now time to look for the other cache in the same area.
TFTC and cheers

Great rest area between Launceston and the North West Coast. Do not let me rest too long here as I have work to do!
Found at last. Have had 3 goes at this one. Either too many muggles or the weather was not inducive to more than a quick hunt. Off down the North West tomorrow so will move it on down there

Albert and his tractor are back out and ready to play
Found the cache and mr sharnie's tribe also found some barbed wire, didn't do much damage luckily! Cute cache. TFTC
Albert is surverying the nearby farming areas to see if his skills are needed.
Again the hint was very useful when locating this cache as the coordinates were quite wayward. Albert will travel to a new location very soon.
Albert is now ploughing around in a rural area. Trying to make up his mind between sheep, cattle or vineyard!
In the hands of LuckyL10n, thanks for sharing!
Replaced the bison tube and gave him a new log.

#GA280 - 17:50; After an initial search was unsuccessful, I headed off to grab another moveable nearby. It was then on to a GC cache and I decided on the way back to the geomobile to have another try for Albert. Found him perched amongst the debris of a party, so have retrieved him to head him south.

Not in the tyre as mentioned previously and a little exposed. So after signing the log, gave him a little more cover. Left Albert here for the next prospector.

771. Found while on a wander up this mound. Decided to leave it there as it's a nice spot to visit. Maybe some more frequent visits may come?
TFTM and the stutter.

dropped off at the foot of mt mugga. left it in a tyre, how apt
Well it would appear that it was there all along. After 15 minutes of searching and slicing up my hands in the tussock and saw grass I picked up this cache and another.
This appears to have gone missing since the event it was taken to 6 weeks ago. Perhaps you should email the person who took it there to see if they still have it or archive this cache now that the race is over.
Not sure what is going on with so many GCA caches going missing after the event. I definitely didn't take this one, just a couple of very BIG caches that no-one else wanted to move. I hope this shows up again soon. TFTC & apologies for the late log - I only just found my notes from the event.
Discovered this on the table at the Summertime Morning Tea event (did not move it)

You never realize how many moveables you are holding onto, until someone mentions it..

On a run down south and met Sol so handed off to start it's Canberra visit down south.
On a GA hunt with Black Bunny, collecting Bingo game pieces. A few others just sort of crept in, on the way!
Had a look for this one but no joy - too many possible hiding places with GPS wandering and not enough time for a thorough search...
Grabbed this one.. you guessed it.. *FTF* Gangnam Style..
