Logs
Today we were looking for caches along the pathway that runs along the shore and noticed that this moveable appeared to be hidden at the same spot as a GC cache. We spent 15 minutes searching at the published coordinates then expanding our search to all objects matching the hint within 20m of the published coords but alas we found nothing. We hope this has not been picked up by a searcher for the GC cache who may have thought it was a swap that had been in the cache container below.
Finaaly got a week off work and my first holiday in nearly 18 months. Headed down to Bussleton with the family and set up at the Catholic Church Youth camp next to the sea and did some relaxing. On the second ot third day went out to grab some caches in the area and drove across to Dunsborough, Cape Naturliste, Yallingup, Moses Rock, Injidup Spa, Prevally and across to Margaret River. There was so much to see and a couple of caches took a while to get to and so i lost some time that i had planned to grab more caches. So i grabbed what i could and eventually headed back to camp. I came out the next day to finish the hunt and was able to clean up all the rest of the caches. I finally got the opportunity to move MIC and apoligise for the tardiness in moving him. Thanks for the cache iluvtrekking
Reading previous logs, this moveable may still be in location OR may have been found, removed and not relocated yet. 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.

I decided to head up to Northam to attend the WA Goes Big event and ended up spending 3 days out there doing doing lots of caching and meeting up with lots of fellow cachers. It was a great weekend and lots of fun. I was also able to grab a few GA moveables. A There were so many caches and moveables around northam but the moveables were gathered up and brought into the evening dinner. I attended the great dinner in the evening and caught up with some fellow GA cachers from over east. Was great to meet up with them again having previously met them at the Mega event at Parkeville in Victoria last november. This cache was dropped off at the event and i was able to retrieve it and help it continue on its travels. Thanks for the car Iliutrekking. It will see some great sights and attractions while on its journey around Western Australia.

Reading previous logs, this moveable seems to have been found and removed, however, to date it has not been 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 moveables status.

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.

I have the cache in my hands. It came to me in a round about way, in fact it was handed to me at a local GC event apparently the cache was found by a cacher out in the open near a GC cache. since they don't log GCA caches it was passed onto me to do the honours. I will place the cache out into circulation shortly. Many thanks Iluvtrekking for the cache.

I grabbed this as it was in danger of a Ranger collecting this and all the others here and throwing them out as rubbish.
Will get back out to a safe place soon.

I was headed home after a week roaming the countryside and called in here on the off chance I would find a moveable. There were quite a number partying here together. I picked up six little travellers and will move them on. This was one of them.

This one's joined the trike for the moment.
Stopped off at this wonderful TB Motel tonight, dropped off one passenger and picked up this one who had settled in a bit too well. It'll need its battery recharged after all this time lazing by the pool and then it'll be on the move again.

Left this car in a big suitcase here in the bush.
Dropping off M.I.C.(66) to keep moving (not in the State Conservation area). This spot sees a lot of traffic but very few pedestrians. Good parking nearby.
Where has this moveable been hanging out for the last 11 months? We found it in a GC cache called Lions in Gloucester NSW. Think it's been leading a confused life as a TB.

Dropped off at at the end of the bitumen where a couple of well traveled tracks will take you further north to Queensland or the Northern Territory.
This little traveler looks like it should be moving around a lot faster than it has been
I'll give it a run and see where we end up

Dropped off this MIC with a GC cache along a lovely creek. Safe travels!
After walking up the very sandy track to access this cache, I was very happy to find it in the first place I looked. I will move it on to a new location very soon. Thanks for the cache iluvtrekking!
Dropped off on an afternoon walk with my son.
I had to head over to Kensington so dropped by with the kids on the way to find a few Bingo caches. They has a ball finding them.
Moved on with friends to fluffyfish - Merry Christmas
