Logs
This moveable seems to have been found and removed in February 2018, however to date it has not been relocated.
As this is now over 3 months ago, the chances of the cache being relocated may be minimal. The previous finder was contacted regarding the relocating of the cache, however no action has since been taken. As a result, and to keep the Geocaching Australia database clean and up to date, we are archiving the cache.
If the cache owner can confirm that the cache has be relocated, they can post an unarchive log and the cache will be back in the game.

Discovered 'Bonus Bingo#75' 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 JustinCBR for the cache.

Planning for this trip began in June - we knew we would be heading to Adelaide but which way would we go? This depended on our targets. We looked at our list of unclaimed Dragon Zone trophies and picked out several that we could feasibly collect the required number of finds to qualify for the trophy. We then had to identify caches that would meet our targets and from here it was time to plan a route that would take us past the caches we had identified. Any caches too far off our route were discarded and replaced by suitable alternatives.
All was running smoothly until the Christmas in July game was announced. We would be travelling in the latter part of the game. It was difficult to include this in our target caches as we did not know what was required. Once the game began and we understood what we needed to do we could then add other caches to the target list.
We were just getting our heads, yes all four of them, around this when more Dragon Zone trophies were added. Which ones could we meet and which should we ignore? Do we need to add more GA caches and/or do we need to change our route and our targets? We decided on our target list and then our route and timeline. We had just drawn a line under everything and were about to begin printing our caching booklets, route maps and target lists when caught@work published 23 new caches on the Western Ring Path. Earlier we had decided on the caches in the Edgewater Walk series. If we added the new ones on the Western Ring Path and as many of the CCC series as possible, we could probably reach the required number of caches to qualify for the Dragon Zone trophies “Restraining Order Stalker” (Find 100 DZ caches hidden by the same cacher) and “Obsession!=Insanity” (find 50 DZ caches in a day). As the latter would give us our first Blaze Trophy, it was decided to alter everything to include the CCC series.Four Fun, in South Australia published five puzzle caches that would bring good points in the Christmas in July game. Can we solve the puzzles? A few more adjustments to the route and the caches to find list and we would be off.
Having successfully completed our Melbourne challenges and gained our first Blaze Dragon Zone trophy it was time to focus on the Christmas in July game. We started on the Kenneth Stirling Conservation Park puzzle caches recently published by Four-Fun. With Four-Fun's puzzles found, several of J_&_J's puzzles found and the Christmas in July game over it was time to focus on completing the requirements for a few more Dragon Zone Trophies.
When we knew that there was a possibility that we would have a break from grand parent duties we had planned this slight detour so that we could find both GA and GC caches that would meet the requirements for several Dragon Zone trophies and several GC challenge caches in several states. As we had already visited all states and territories except Western Australia this year it was time for us to hop on a plane and head for Perth, Western Australia.
When we were at home we had noticed that Lazarus68 had been collecting moveable caches during a recent visit to the eastern states. We wondered if Lazarus would be back in the west by the time we visited and if we would have an opportunity to find the moveables that were in his care. So, we contacted Lazarus and the stars did align. We made arrangements to visit and we were able to log finds on quite a few moveable caches. Many thanks Lazarus68 for making these caches available for our visit. In turn, we left another ten moveables in the area which are also now in the care of Lazarus68.

Had a 5 second look but in fading light I was concentrating on the GCA traditional nearby!
This time it has moved a long way from home and is hiding waiting for the next cacher.
Another returnee, what do I have to do to get it away from here!

This Bonus Bingo has made it to Leura to meet the local "Ball Expert" before moving on to Clwydd. Don't bother looking it is already gone!
I had the opportunity to get close by the hiding spot today, so a quick pick up was organized. This Bonus Bingo is on it's way to the Gnome Gnation with a short detour via Leura and then Clwydd.

Sorry for the delay...Moved with his ping buddies all together near a track winding back to an old fashioned BORG cache
Found more balls, all over the place and they are bouncing everywhere, bounce, bounce down the road they go.

Thanks to JAC & BB for the delivery. Now all I have to do is figure out what to do with them all!
A very nice problem to have.

Out with Black Bunny when we were alerted to a bunch of caches in the area, so after a quick exit we headed off for GZ for a short stroll and quick find.
Thanks for the cache.

Out with Just a cacher doing some shopping when we were alerted that there were some caches in the area, so we abandoned the shopping run and headed off for GZ.
A quick stroll and find then back to shopping duties.

716. And the top selling single in Australia in '75? Mama Mia by ABBA. One of my all time favourite bands had one of the other top songs that years - The Sweet with "Fox on the Run".
