SecretSquirrel-BJC Other This isn't a trig and if we let this one in, then there are dozens if not hundreds of these 3 yellow pole type places in the ACT that others could then register and I think that it would devalue **real trigs**. Having said that, it could be a GCA virtual owned by you but not a trig point. These sort of things normally get done in a locationless cache that could be called "ACT survey stations" SecretSquirrel-BJC Note http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1433 by Gwennie caters for ACT Sectional Control Marks mtbikeroz Other Thanks Squirrel, Point taken. (An oversight). I can't change the type from Trig to something else, as it does not allow anything else but trigs, so I have to archive it. mtbikeroz Note I will log this survey point as a find in the GA1433 Squirrel mentions, in the meantime, this one is archived (until perhaps I find an unlisted trig somewhere, then I can resurrect this with a new name, coords etc). Geocaching Australia Other Published mtbikeroz Found I have been up here MANY MANY times in the 1990's and the 2000's. I have run all the way up here, walked, and even ridden my bike here. I just remembered this OLD TRIG/SURVEY point, so up I go again on the MTB, this time with my GPS to get the coords. Always enjoy the ride down too, Coooeeeee.

M_Family Found Found on a trip to the mall (only a slight detour) Crystal Warrior Note To celebrate the last day of the Moveable Cache Race we are organising an impromptu afternoon tea and cache exchange at S35 18.280 E149 07.360. The idea is for all the Moveable Caches that are currently in the ACT to come together for a quick cup of tea and a cache 'swap in swap out'. Meeting time is 3pm, today, 31 January 2010. The above location has easy access and carparking available. So grab a Moveable Cache and cup of tea and come on over. M_Family Note come and pick me up with a cup of tea at 3pm Black Bunny Found Will move to the creek Black Bunny Note Down albida33 Note How many more moves can it get ? Crystal Warrior Note Today's impromptu afternoon tea and cache exchange was quite a success with 6 out of the 7 caches currently located in the ACT attending. Unfortunately due to a service in progress at the time, Black Bunny was unable to retrieve Blossom and escort it to the afternoon tea. I am happy to report that all caches conducted themselves in a very cache like manner and a good time was had by all. After much discussion and bidding farewell to each other the caches and cachers dispersed. Thanks to everyone who attended. I am attaching a few photos from today. Black Bunny Found Picked up on a last minute caching run. Black Bunny Note A special on at Hawker tonight, 2 for the price of 1. norkmeister Note Moved about 100 metres M_Family Found very tricky - it was red but.... Moved on to a traditional location. M_Family Note Come and get me... M_Family Note Dropped off at a familar location, I was driving past and it seemed like good idea. There is green "letterbox" right next door for the other postal moving cache. M_Family Found picked up on the way to work & kid drop-off, will place in an inner south location at lunchtime. jusojara Found After seeing this one sit here for a while (and receiving a request from the owner)So and I ducked out to move this one closer to the city. jusojara Note Dropped a little closer to the city for someone else to move on. M_Family Note Moved to another postal location with very law-abiding neighbours! Zsazsa7 Found Wandered past this one on the way to Lunch at Jimmy's in Dickson. Had no idea there was a post box located here! Zsazsa7 Note Quick drop off near work. M_Family Found picked up on way home - will post out in the morning. M_Family Found Found on a fruit & veg shopping expedition. Will rehome this afternoon. M_Family Note Moved to a tourist location - watch the muggles here, timing is everything. My GPS is not working so location fixed via google earth -but it should be ok to find - it's the usual red box. wiglet Note A quick trip to the shops and all I came home with was 2 caches Tealby Note Was tempted to leave this at the Isaacs Post Office, but decided on the Isaacs Post Box instead - watch out for the workmen on the construction site nearby! mark_rattigan Found Found quite simply - there are more green post boxes adjacent to this one for Post Haste. mark_rattigan Note Placed again on my way home. TFTC. norkmeister Found Picked up to move tonight. Hopefully will be side-by-side with Post Haste. norkmeister Note Ahh my old friend that I FTF'ed. GE shows my coords a little off but you all know where it is. Unfortunately the green Aus Post storage box didn't allow me to put Post Hast next door, so instead it is around the corner. Didn't sign the log again as it is 4/5 full. Black Bunny Note Did think about keeping this one for the current collection I have, but he was a bit small so I returned him to the wild. He has now found anther Post Box to call home. tallpaulf Found Unusually, I had to come north this morning to drop geoboy at a holiday program. He hopped out of the car and grabbed it on the way. Will reappear in Woden soon. tallpaulf Note Dropped near work (again) Tealby Found I wasn't sure if this one would last till this arvo when I was planning to be at Woden Plaza, but there is was... I also knew these post boxes & had no idea how a cache could be hidden on them, but there it was... Great cache - will move on later today. norkmeister Not Found I was standing in woden staring at the post box when my this email came to my phone. Too slow, Tealby had it. Crystal Warrior Note Checked OHMPS after the big interstate trip. Its so good to have her back home. All OK, still in Lyneham at S35o 15.512' E149o 7.813. Left Pathtag Black Bunny Found Was not going to let this one pass this weekend. Quick grab at GZ will move it on shortly. Black Bunny Not Found Black Bunny bounced down south today for this one, only to find it gone bush before he got there. Better luck next time. icthys Note Cache moved tallpaulf Note Nice to see this cache has found its way home! Plenty of time for some more quick moves before the race is over :) [Edit: accidentally logged a 'Found' instead of a 'Note'] pwags Note Outside a cute little General Store in Wollert - time for some of the northern suburbs teams to find and move this one! PrincessDiala Found Change of plans Victorians. PrincessDiala Note By the time you have received this move, it has already been picked up by the intended cacher. (I had the coordinates right yeah! =oP ) OHMPS - nice time playing with you, time for you to go back home so you can get some more action =o) Good Luck and godspeed! pwags Not Found I searched all over the phone box at GZ, but no sign of this little red plate. I assume that someone else beat me to it today? PrincessDiala Note ...... I think I must win some type of (booby) prize for getting the most wrong coordinates posted in logs during the game period of the MCR... *hangs head in shame* Hopefully the coordinates should be nearby a shop, with a phone booth infront, and a postbox next to it? pwags Found After PrincessDiala corrected the coordinates, I headed back to Willi to grab this one - I wouldn't have been able to sleep otherwise! A quick find under the red postbox, and while I was out and about, a quick re-hide, too! PrincessDiala Found Found wing6rider Note Come on all you Victorian cachers! Don't lose interest now or the Tasmanians will overtake the post box hopper! :) ps. Does anyone want to bring it back to the ACT? PrincessDiala Note Moved nearby PrincessDiala Not Found Looks like its on the move again. caughtatwork Found A quick pickup while getting the eldest from a party in Willi. Look for the new location in just a few short minutes. caughtatwork Note Another red letter box by the side of the road. You really can't miss this one even if the coords are slightly out. Right in front of the plant shop :-) PrincessDiala Found I've found it again! PrincessDiala Note You can see it from your car, but unless your looking for it, it just looks part of the object. Too obvious for a hint! The Empire Found Found by The Empire 9/1/10 @ 4:00pm Hopefully I can hide this one somewhere PD will approve of. - M The Empire Note Moved to the usual location, right underneath! - M wallyhunt Note Moved caughtatwork Note A quick driveby to hide this cache. Co-ords may suck a little, but you can't miss this location. A handy finder if you're not sure where you can find one. http://apps.nowwhere.com.au/austpost/postofficelocator/default.aspx Thanks wing6rider & cyrstal warrior for the opportunity to find and rehide this major moving cache in the game. wallyhunt Found found. pwags Found On the move again! pwags Note And re-hidden again... caughtatwork Found Gotcha :-) Now to find somewhere appropriate to hide it. BTW, this find makes my total GCA find count 100. W00t! themd Found Found and on the move!!! themd Note I'm here waiting for collection easy to find. Thanks, I'm stamped ready to go!! PrincessDiala Found A quick game is a good game! PrincessDiala Note ...and quickly whisked off to its new temporary home!.. wallyhunt Note Hidden in Brunswick on a post box by a tram stop. Was observed by a muggle attaching the cache to the mail box, so I "waited for the tram", then re-hid it once he got on. This game is fun. Wally PrincessDiala Note Arriving back home tonight from spending christmas with the bf's family. OHMPS has been on a long trip! Hopefully a good game of ping pong will be had with the local cachers in this area. wallyhunt Found Found this evening, will move on tomorrow. blossom* Found Took tronador's advice and bought a new pair of hiking boots in anaconda this morning. With the correct street name from google, I didn't need the gps to retrieve this one blossom* Note You shouldn't need a clue for this with the cache name. You can pick up a quick McHappy meal across the road if you're hungry Meph Found Went to the previous location, but it was obvious I had already been beaten to it. With the new co-ordinates, made a slight detour on the way out of town to pick it up. Will be hidden further down NSW later on this evening. Meph Note Found a post box on our way into Wagga to spend the night on the last night of our holiday. It has cover so that it hopefully wont get muggled. I wish it all the best on its journey in the cache race. PrincessDiala Found Didn't take me long to find this cache. Saw where Meph hid it, and I picked it up straight after hehe. I hope the Victorians are ready for some quick moves with this cache! tronador Note Gone interstate again. Visiting Sydney, pick this up and drop into Anaconda while your here, its not far. tronador Found Found this nearby, as I was passing. M_Family Found I'm back after a week away and missing this cache (although we found alot of Madstars caches instead). Moved on to another northside location. M_Family Note Here's a new temporary shiny red home. norkmeister Found Grabbed to move this afternoon to Belconnen. norkmeister Note Move to aranda tallpaulf Found Picked up by geoboy in Swinger Hill on the way to Bunnings and dropped in Tuggeranong. Zsazsa7 Found Grabbed while sober. Zsazsa7 Note So snot snober now. Took advantage of a nearby Christmas lunch to nab and place this one. Much drier location. Zsazsa7 Found Nabbed, with a little inside help. On to Kambah! Zsazsa7 Note Locals will simply know this as "Theo's" Alas the original cook has moved on to what I believe is "Johno's" at Mawson. Tankengine Found Finally caught up with this little blighter! (Seems the post has shut down over Christmas Eve!). So, that made it a whole lot easier. - And seeing the Post was closed, I have moved it myself already! winglen Note Placed on a post box near us - well sort of near us. It's red and that's what counts!! Thanks for the fun, and over to the next finder. McPhan Found Happened to be over this way tonight so a chance to grab it and move it along. McPhan Note One son misses moving the cache - but this one knew where a nearby red letterbox is - thanks CoolAid. tallpaulf Found Picked up on the way to drop geogirl at daycare tallpaulf Note Dropped again. As a point of interest, can it revisit the same postbox more than once? winglen Found Well done Mr Winglen, he's not quite the new Mtbikeroz but he collected this on his ride home in 33 degree heat. Will put it out again soon!! Nice little cache. wing6rider Note No problem seen with visiting previous haunts! Crystal Warrior Note Its been a long time since we have had news of the cache. I hope its safe and well! It would be nice to have it back in the game. Gigglygecko Clan Found Unbelievable - Fitfairy dropped this off at Chisholm shops last night then GeoTeen found it and brought it home again this morning! Now I have to find another spot for it - will drop off at GeoTeens work suburb when I take him there later today. Gigglygecko Clan Note Garran shops. Come and get it. After multiple emails and missed calls and voicemails from the owners, we'll pass on this one now - please, please someone else come and get it so that the owners can see it is, and always has been, still in play. Fitfairy Found Yay, after leaving it here last night we wondered if it would still be here in the morning but my daughter saw to that - by forgetting to bring the power cord for the PC so we couldn't do the logs. Noone knew it was here so we managed to pick it up again before breakfast and will leap frog it back to Canberra today. Fitfairy Note Gigglygecko Clan Found Heading North now. Gigglygecko Clan Note Fitfairy Found My turn, where next? Fitfairy Note Fantastic, I've wanted to visit the Dog on the Tuckerbox - lovely! Gigglygecko Clan Found Heading homewards, will stop in at next little town that we haven't been to already this trip. Gigglygecko Clan Note Coolac - used to go through here regularly, now it's really quiet. Fruit shop was shut - hope it's not out of business. Fitfairy Found Almost home, back to Yass. Seems like more than a day since we were here before. Fitfairy Note Yass. Gigglygecko Clan Found Now onto another post box here, must be another one somehwere. Gigglygecko Clan Note Fitfairy Found Now to bring it home. Fitfairy Note Home to Chisholm, well - home for me and the Gigglygecko clan. Thanks for sharing your moving cache and for your patience whilst we played. wing6rider Note I just spoke to Gigglygecko Clan and the cache is having a weekend in the country. It will be back in Canberra (southside?) Sunday night hopefully after hopping around lots! Gigglygecko Clan Found Come along. Quick quick. Gigglygecko Clan Note Fitfairy Found My turn to move it ;) Fitfairy Note Gigglygecko Clan Found Heading South... gotta keep moving. Gigglygecko Clan Note Fitfairy Found Cache found. Fitfairy Note Cache moved, heading west again. Gigglygecko Clan Found Cache found near RAAF Base Wagga Wagga but thankfully I don;t have to work today...can keep moving. Just had a chat to cache owner who was worried about it. Explained this little trip and will log when we get back to Canberra. Gigglygecko Clan Note Fitfairy Found Right, my turn and that's as far west as we're going. Back to Wagga to find a bed for the night and have a well deserved rest. Fitfairy Note Gigglygecko Clan Found Moving closer to our hotel, then we can say Goodnight to this one for today and cross our fingers that it is still there in the morning! Gigglygecko Clan Note Phew, that's it for today. Goodnight. SamWalkers Note Has it gone Par Avion? Crystal Warrior Note Hope it hasn't gone 'trop loin' M_Family Note Perhaps delayed by the postal workers strike... SamWalkers Note Perhaps they are secretly working for the (Sshhhh) Tasmanians. Crystal Warrior Note Its a worry when the little ones are out late Gigglygecko Clan Note Chisholm shops. Fitfairy Found Picked up on the way out to a caching weekend in Wagga. Will take west and try to get it back again soon. Gigglygecko Clan Found Nabbed from Fitfairy, heading north-west. Fitfairy Found Gotcha again. Fitfairy Note M_Family Note Ready & waiting for more Christmas cards... M_Family Found Picked this one up (again) while posting the Christmas cards. It was hard - will I put a stamp on the cards or won't I? The easiest decision was which postbox to use! Gigglygecko Clan Found Picked up...now to find somewhere to put it! tallpaulf Found Geoson hopped out of the car and grabbed this on the way to school this morning. Will place it in a busy spot shortly... tallpaulf Note Dropped at lunchtime. (norkmeister - fancy another visit to Woden Town Square?) By the way - one of the magnets could use a drop of glue... wiglet Found Picked up at lunchtime. Will be back out soon wiglet Note Its out and about again SamWalkers Found Deakin too. Short - late - lunch - walk. icthys Note Cache moved icthys Found Cache found Black Bunny Note Back in play at a letter box near you, well sort of near you. mr_roo Found Seen this one pop up near home so jumped on the bike hooray got it mr_roo Note Placed this close to a friends place so he could pick it up TFTC jusojara Found We spotted this only a couple of streets away so Ju jumped on her bike and grabbed it. jusojara Note Ready for it's next find. M_Family Found Managed to drag myself off the couch after a bought of a child derived disease to move this one on. Don't worry I washed my hands! Have a coffee while you pick this one up. M_Family Note tis here - enjoy! Yurt Found On the way back from 'oop north' I had a stopover in Brisbane again and grabbed this one from Black Bunny's burrow. Yurt Note As this cache doesn't have enough postage for Sydney it's going back return to sender to Canberra so placed where Black Bunny can pick it up again. Black Bunny Found Due to lack of postage from wing6rider the cache has been sent back to sender. Also the cache has reported that it did not like the heat and humidity of Brisbane and would like to return to a colder climate. I will find somewhere to drop this soon. Crystal Warrior Note Good news!!! Our cache is coming home. It will be nice to have it back home with the rest of the family. M_Family Note Hey everyone while you are doing this cache you can pop your christmas mail in the red box with no stamp for free up until christmas! thanks to the hard working and under paid staff of Australia Post! SamWalkers Note While you are waiting for this one to come back to Canberra you can always pop out and grab mine if you like ;-) wing6rider Note With this out of play, that's exactly what we did! Happy to put Mobility Stealth back in play. Black Bunny Note Mr Bunny reports that he has placed the cache. He says it is NOT on a post box. wing6rider Note I am proud to report that, at this point in time, the post box hopper is currently top of the Cache Race Leaderboard for distance travelled 1046.29 km, longest distance 967.23 km and number of stops 13. (Thanks Black Bunny and all the other helpers). I did not realise what a competitive little cache I had created! Now to see if it comes home........... Anyone going to Perth (and back) for the weekend? Yurt Note In the airport (BNE) now having placed Pole Position. Will pick this up on my return to Sydney on Friday. I'd take it to Townsville but I don't know if anyone there would grab it. Black Bunny can take Pole Position. Black Bunny Note Glad to help wing6rider. wing6rider Note It looks like this cache will be dropped in Sydney Friday. Hopefully it will be near the airport. Can anyone arrange a pick up and return to Canberra. We'd prefer it to stay in the ACT and compete for most moves (as described). SamWalkers Not Found Too far for a DNF-ff-it Gigglygecko Clan Found Oops, picked up this morning. Will drop off on way home from work. Thanks for the cache :) Gigglygecko Clan Note This area can be muggle central at certain times of the day, but you can pull the car up next to it. Black Bunny Found Black Bunny bounced by - and nearly broke his neck in the wet. Black Bunny is currently negotiating to see if he can get this one tagged in Brisbane, and possibly brought back to the ACT. Either way it will be out of circulation for us here, until the weekend, I'd say. wing6rider Note We just passed by and it's been nabbed! mtbikeroz Found FINALLY, OH FINALLY. Checked the internet at 12:30 to see if it was still here, yep, it was. Onto my road bike and I headed off. Detoured via new cache up Mt. Ainslie first, then popped in here - GOT IT. A 44km ride so far. Ended up doing 85km for the day, 3 caches, 1 mountain and 80km/h on the road bike, Coooeeeeee Will drop off appropriately tonight. mtbikeroz Note Dropped. SamWalkers Note Ready again. mtbikeroz Not Found Darn it, keep still you! M_Family Found Oh well I need milk & bread and oh yes something else....yep a cache! Tag - sam walkers - sorry MBOz. M_Family Note It's out again, why not pick up some great local fruit & veg while your here. But be quick the shop shuts at 1pm today. wing6rider Note It's great to see all the activity in the past few days. Currently this cache is top of the ladder for number of stops! Although the Melbourne based "Cache Me If You Can" GA1662 is giving it some very stiff competition! Mtbikeroz, may the force be with you.......... good luck! wing6rider Note Yes, this is an interesting location! According to my sources, the ACT Government, frustrated with the blandness of the standard urban post box, commissioned a design competition to come up with a new, innovative and exciting design. This was the winning entry. However, at the time, there were tensions in the Commonwealth/Territory relations and this did not get the support it deserved. I think a bilateral agreement on the matter was mooted? The ACT Government, not to be deterred, then put this prototype (sans slot) on display in the hope it would come to be seen as the ideal modern post box and the Commonwealth might change its mind. I don't think this has happened, yet......... PS. Don't try to post a letter when you are doing the pick up but if you can put it back on track that would be good! M_Family Found picked up again on the way to work! Well since there was a carpark nearbye I had to give it a go! Nice shinny red place it was too. M_Family Note Moved to another postal location. Not quite the box (there was a muggle at the bus stop near there) but close by and very postal indeed. During business hours stealth will be required as it is a surpisingly busy place. SamWalkers Found What is big and red and I got it again! Black Bunny Found A quick grab whilst posting some letters for Mrs Bunny. Will try and find a handy spot for it's new home. Black Bunny Note Found anther Post Box to call home. SamWalkers Not Found Shucks! I am running out of archaic expletives. albida33 Note On to the next spot albida33 Found Quite Busy here, but there are regular breaks. Not much colour in the prime hide, but it should not be an issue. . Thanks. TNLN Visited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 Albida SamWalkers Found Forsooth! It was there at last. SamWalkers Note Zing! Back out in time for some other hunter. Well it is sort of a box... and it has a little something in common with a post box. M_Family Found This is my first moving cache - I love finding new things. I had to wait for the postie to retrive this one! I will move it along to another postcode this afternoon. SamWalkers Not Found Gadzooks!! Not again. mtbikeroz Not Found Hmm, not quick enough! M_Family Note Moved on to this leafy position this evening... SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 68+1695=1763 The cache was certainly located in a beautiful leafy street. I gulped as I looked, hoping it was going still to be there. Yay! Thanks wing6rider & cyrstal warrior for the chase and the fun of re-hiding.... SecretSquirrel-BJC Note On its way again... wing6rider Other Ready! Set! Go! norkmeister Found Woohoo *FTF* Found quickly after a short diversion on my ride to work in a strong tailwind. Hopefully it dies down by this afternoon :( SamWalkers Not Found Zounds! It has gone already. norkmeister Note Newly placed in the obvious location. Colour is Akai. GA1685 Drifter Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1685 Drifter Geocache Geocache Drifter AusTrackers Weetangera Australian Capital Territory Australia Other Small 1.5 1.5 <p>We&nbsp;have been&nbsp;thinking about placing a GCA cache for quite a while so when we read about the Moving Cache Race it&nbsp; seemed like the ideal opportunity to get ourselves off the procrastination couch.</p> <p>The cache is a 200ml Sistema container (now black) containing an Australian Flag GC, our pathtag and a small certificate for FTF, a pathtag and a certificate for 2TF and 20 or so finders' cards. It does have some nice strong magnets but does not necessarily need to be hidden/attached using these.</p> <p>The race is from 1/12/2009 to 31/1/2010 so it would be appreciated if finders can move&nbsp;it on quickly far and wide within Australia during this period.</p> <p>The game description and rules are at <a href="http://www.cachinggames.com/mcr">http://www.cachinggames.com/mcr</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks ZED for getting us off the starting block.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> M_Family Note So just what are those green "post" boxes used for anyway?? SamWalkers Note And a picture of the ultimate caching tool. Can you think of any caches you would like to search for using this? WanderingAus Note SamWalkers wrote "And a picture of the ultimate caching tool. Can you think of any caches you would like to search for using this?". Much better off-road than an electric bike, but from my recollection when the Army were using a similar item the range is quite limited, you might get TO a cache and then have to carry the durned thing back. mark_rattigan Note Article and comments at the-riotact. http://the-riotact.com/?p=18080 tallpaulf Note I found the article in "IN BRIEF" on page 7 of Thursday's paper (4/2/2010): "Suspicious package Traders and shoppers were evacuated for more than three hours as the ACT Bomb Squad investigated a suspicious package at Hawker shops. It is believed the package was taped to a mailbox located on the strip. Police were called in at about 11:40am yesterday, establishing a 100m exclusion zone. The package was deemed non-suspicious shortly after 3pm." SecretSquirrel-BJC Note Well if it was on a post box, the last set of coordinates must have been dodgy - I was in a carpark M_Family Note hmm let's hope Black Bunny can confirm it should be in the car park rather than the post box! Black Bunny Note Drifter was playing at being a postal box hopper for his last move and has indeed departed this area and indeed the movable cache realm. It was very near the suspicious parcel that was taped to the green postal box. See photo of remnants of the tape. Drifter you were fun while you lasted. mtbikeroz Other Hmmmmmmm AusTrackers Other Well.....thanks again to everybody who participated in moving Drifter - we did enjoy following its travels in the race. And thanks Black Bunny for going back to check on the situation, we'd like to believe that it wasn't Drifter that caused all that trouble. We don't know exactly what has happened to the cache, but in view of its unexplained absence we have no choice but to archive it. Hunter/Finder Note Hard luck AusTrackers. Drifter did so well in the race and to lose it like that is real bad luck. Better luck on your next movable. Hunter/Finder norkmeister Not Found DNF for me too. Not many hides in that carpark and too busy to make a good search. Are the co-ords right, GZ had me on pavement. M_Family Note This cache may have had a terrible fate. According to non-caching father-in-law there was an article in the Canberra Times around Wed(3/2/2) saying that the police were called for a suspected bomb taped to the post box! Oh dear....I've tried to find article on-line, anyone out there still got a paper copy to confirm? norkmeister Note Want me to move this on to Sydney? AusTrackers Note Sydney - that would be lovely - thank you. norkmeister Note If a Belconnen watcher could move this closer to the parliamentary triangle or Fyshwick tomorrow to pick up Saturday that would be great. SecretSquirrel-BJC Not Found Not obvious to me Crystal Warrior Note To celebrate the last day of the Moveable Cache Race we are organising an impromptu afternoon tea and cache exchange at S35 18.280 E149 07.360. The idea is for all the Moveable Caches that are currently in the ACT to come together for a quick cup of tea and a cache 'swap in swap out'. Meeting time is 3pm, today, 31 January 2010. The above location has easy access and carparking available. So grab a Moveable Cache and cup of tea and come on over. Black Bunny Found Will move westwards Black Bunny Note Down norkmeister Found Found at our little gathering but DID NOT TAKE. It is still where BB left it. AusTrackers Note A big thanks to everyone for moving our cache around the country. We've enjoyed following Drifter's travels and hope that we will meet some of you at the Mega Event in April. jusojara Note Out, ready and waiting. M_Family Found found after an evening caching around new Parliament House, will move on. M_Family Note I'm off for high tea - come get me at 3 wing6rider Note I am planning to cruise by and nab this later in the afternoon, should it still be there! jusojara Found Sorry W6R,second time I have trumped you to a movable:( I don't know how I missed this first time I looked, I nearly tripped over it this time! wing6rider Note Missed it by thaaaat much chief! again.. jusojara Not Found Had a look for this one this afternoon (between passing cars) but unfortunately we couldn't find the cache. Hopefully someone else has grabbed it. M_Family Note Checked this morning and it's still where I left it, the GPS had me about 4m away - check the hint for more clues! wing6rider Note Feel free to come in? M_Family Found Got caught by wing6rider picking up this one - one thing with moveables it doesn't really matter if someone sees you picking up as it won't be there anymore for the muggles. Had a nice chat about caching, holidays and junior cachers.. M_Family Note After a trip to Civic & a spin on the merry-go-round, Drifter ended up visiting some Lizards & Snakes at the Botanic Gardens...come and have a visit too. nb co-ordinates have been slightly adjusted. Crystal Warrior Found Will release after the moving cache party tonight Crystal Warrior Note Took this home to meet its friends. They had a quick chat and then they all went their separate ways. wing6rider Found Worn out after a BIG party. I'll let it rest until tomorrow! wing6rider Other Found a bit squeezy so, will put in a cache with more room. mark_rattigan Not Found Raced out to grab a few moving caches that we hadn't yet been able to get our hands on. Couldn't find much in the way of hiding spots for six caches. Returned home empty handed to find more logs - obviously this was grabbed pretty much after it was hidden, and was long gone before we got there. mark_rattigan Note Hidden again. mark_rattigan Found Found it on the second attempt. This time I pretty much parked underneath it. I didn't notice this nook last time I searched. TFTC. Will move on soon. mark_rattigan Other Squeezing the Big Red Bus into this small cache to keep it moving along too. mark_rattigan Not Found I'm not having any luck keeping up with or finding this one - couldn't find it in it's present location at the Woden Plaza Carpark. Guess I will try again as it continues to move. tallpaulf Note Hmm. I just checked it when I was coming home, and it was still there at about 5:40pm. The coords are correct to within a few meters - perhaps you were on the wrong level? tallpaulf Found Thanks for the drop so close to home! It's now parked in Woden Hint: Look up, but don't go too high Black Bunny Note The GPS gods were a little out when I moved this one. The corrected co-ords are attached. To find this one, take a seat at the take-away and search near ground level. wing6rider Found wing6rider Note We were worried this 'visiting' cache may have gone astray. Once the coordinates were updated, we popped down for a quick find and relocate. It's playing 'on the buses' now! Back in play... go seek! tallpaulf Not Found A good look around the obvious hiding area did not reveal the cache this morning. Perhaps I didn't try hard enough, or maybe it was already on the move? mark_rattigan Not Found Had a good look also this afternoon - coordinates were wanting me to head to the middle of the road/carpark - turned up nothing. No hint to provide guidance either. Hopefully it's already on its way somewhere else. Black Bunny Found Quick location at GZ but muggles were very active on their bikes today making retrieval a bit slow. Heading a little further south so will drop it shortly. Black Bunny Note Dropped in Hughes M_Family Note Moved to a top spot for a drifter, great views! wing6rider Note Now in Dickson, come for a Yum Cha and find a cache! M_Family Found Found on our second attempt, pesky GPS had us across the road, but found in the end (how many 3rd poles from the corner can there be??) I will move it on as far as I can on an outing tomorrow. wing6rider Note If Drifter is still here in the morning, I'll move it to Dickson where is should get more attention? wing6rider Note If Drifter is still here in the morning, I'll move it to Dickson where is should get more attention? albida33 Found It is never a given these are at the spot, so I wa happy to find it so easily. Albida albida33 Note Back where Pesky was winglen Found Found at the midpoint between two GC caches released today. Nice little hiding place, just made for it, even though it was only an overnight stay! Will move on today. winglen Note McPhan Found Grabbed while up this hill on different matters this morning. McPhan Note Amazing the things you see when out and about - a perfect spot to hide this so it gets moved on quickly. wing6rider Found This one has been involved in some hand to hand combat? How about hand to hand caching.............?!! wing6rider Note Time for some shopping? And a quick drop for Crystal Warrior to pick up! Crystal Warrior Found Nothing like a quick pickup. Now where will I put it ...... Crystal Warrior Note It was a 'releaf' to find a convenient place to put this on the way home. Its a driveby if you have go go gadget arms mark_rattigan Not Found Missed it - was gone before I got there. It was logged before I got home to log this - I was searching at S35o 21.682' E149o 5.510'. Crystal Warrior Note Mark - I think your miss relates to its location a couple of moves ago. I have just checked and this cache and it is still at the listed co-ordinates. AusTrackers Note Wow! Thanks guys for all the attention you are paying to Drifter - we appreciate it. Tankengine Found Nice views, nice easy find - have moved it on! Tankengine Note AH - have already moved it, but couldn't update the hint... Must be a bug... Anyways, have updated it now. tronador Note Come get me on Black Mtn. tronador Note Taking this to Canberra with me. tronador Found Nothing like a cache in plain view on a major road. No drive by here. How hard is this to retrieve?? Luckily on a Sunday parking is easy. Took the recommendation and popped into Eden Nursery for a coffee and a wander around. Very pleasant indeed. Took the Travel turtle Geocoin. Hunter/Finder Note Finally managed to place "Drifter" after it received some Eastern hospitality over Christmas. I have placed this just outside a Park near home. If you get thirsty while here there is a nice coffee shop at the garden centre across the road. Best parking is at S33 46.723 E151 08.001 Dropped nvtriker's Travel Turtle GeoCoin #1 in for a trip Hunter/Finder Hunter/Finder Note Aus Trackers. Unable to relocte your cache for a few days as I am housebound with a lung infection. Will get it back out as soon as practical. Regards Hunter/Finder Hunter/Finder Found Located exactly where the log said it would be. No GPS needed here. A lovely little park indeed. Now where would it like to spend Christmas? Hmmm.... let me think about that while I track down some other caches in the area. Thanks AusTrackers. Have a merry Christmas. Hunter/Finder Sydney blossom* Not Found Well, that would be why I didn't find this one! I spent quite a long time looking around in the leaves. I got right under the bridge in the middle and crawled all the way to the end where the cache should have been hidden. I pulled all the leaves to one side, then the other! I have NO idea what anyone walking over it might have thought about all the rustling coming from underneath! Luckily, when I emerged, there was nobody in sight. But I figured if anyone had seen me and I hadn't been able to find the cache, then they wouldn't either. Yurt Note Moved to Sydney from Perth. Now near my home patch in Pennant Hills. urch Note Oh dear... I was a bit too late - already gone this arvo when I dropped by... Yurt Found As this poor cache has been sitting here for days alone I grabbed it (neat hide and very strong magnets!) to take back east. You'll need someone to bring it back from over there as I won't be back for a few months. Sno Seeker Found Picked up on the way home. Will be out again tonight Sl TFTC Sno Seeker Note Back in the wild. One of our night caching fiends might even pick it up this evening! zigolphin Note Placed today with the birds playing at my feet, might find out when the pony club behind me is on and see if the girls want to come and watch one day. allow for a 5 metre error on the co-ords, the gps was not playing nice today. wiggytig Note very close to zigolphin's GC cache zigolphin Found so close to home, who can resist. will move again shortly. wiggytig Found Will move as quick as possible. arlorggen Note Placed while at work. AusTrackers Other Ready, set, go! ZED! Found 12:35pm Saw this go active last night so when I had a look at lunch today I was surprised (and a tad disappointed for AusTrackers) that this had not been picked up yet, after all it is in a race. So knowing it was only 1.5Km away from me I quickly zoomed in on the satelite picture and noted where to go (GPSr is at home and thankfully GZ was a readily identifiable object) and popped over to pick it up. The race is on. ZED! Note Placed in a location I'm sure will see a quick find. arlorggen Found Yes very quick find after a hop step and jump from my home co-ords. Will move on as soon as possible.

Firstly, I eventually worked out by getting close enough (Coming in off Majura Rd), it is on private farmland. Secondly, this is the fun bit, access can be gained to either near or to this trig by no less than 8 routes, of which 2 are impassable past Security guards, and 6 are through the "NO ENTRY - FIRING RANGE"; signs/gates. And then, 4 of these approaches will get you on the wrong side of "THE FENCE";, the other 2 will get you closer on the right side of "THE FENCE"; but once again, (after you have gone through the FIRING RANGE (even past TankEngine's former FF cache), ), private property to get to the trig. The Sutton Rd accesses are also NO ENTRY - FIRING RANGE!!!!! Got all that? So, any objections to it being archived? mtbikeroz Note Does anyone know if there is a public access and legal way in to here? 2 routes are NO GO zones. The back route from the East??????

Did a couple of caches while they where having lunch. Day 306 of non-stop caching [:D] urch Found Permission given from owner to log this cache. All of this area is quite fascinating to visit. Thanks for bringing me here, Tealby. SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 4(+865=869) 1pm Thanks Tealby for another great opportunity to come back and enjoy this lovely area of meaningful sculpture. I just love the dugong!!! I discovered a few new things today - thanks for making me look closely. *Overall Experience: 3* http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/Rating aussiepuschaks Found A great, educational lunchtime cache. Having visited Questacon many times, we haven't really stopped and looked at what's beyond the carpark. A walk through Reconciliation Park is highly recommended. Thanks for the history lesson Tealby. Email of virtual answers sent 23/6. TFTC livandmez Found Interesting sculptures! TFTC. LivandMez. mtbikeroz Found A quick and easy detour on the way home this time. Nice to wander through the place again, getting different answers this time. Thanks Tealby. McPhan Found Unfortunately waited too long to find the GC cache, so I missed out. Was a bit quicker off the mark today as I have a (very) temporary empty nest. Hadn't seen all these objects previously and my other senses got a bit to do as well. TFTC and for the history/art. Tankengine Found Ah - a nice easy find, in this nice area. Yes - had to visit again, but much easier this time! Surprising to see how many people out here before 9.00am! Thanks Tealby. RexTrex Found Thought I might have been in with a chance for a 'first' here, but got held up registering for GCA. However, beaten by very capable cachers! This area was a surprise for me, so I really appreciate having the chance to explore it. The shield was unexpected. I also took the opportunity to review the original cache questions and learned a bit more about the site, ghostly sounds and all. TFTC Tealby. GA0390 Aussie Trivia cache Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0390 Aussie Trivia cache Geocache Geocache Aussie Trivia cache mrpieman Hall Australian Capital Territory Australia Multi Small 2 3 Complete the trivia challenge and enjoy the views. Gday and welcome to the Aussie Trivia multi cache (small swaps only). This cache hunt will provide you with some stunning views of Gungahlin and its surrounding districts, not to mention a nice spot for a cache. In order to successfully complete this find, you need to know the answers to 10 Aussie Trivia questions shown below. Record the answers to each question A to J. The answers will be needed to calculate the location of the cache. Do you know your 11 times tables???? This will come in handy. Those of you who are Aussie Trivia 'legends' will known the answers to a lot of the questions already, but those who are somewhat trivia challenged (like myself) will need to do a little googling to find the answers. When you find the cache and log your entry, please include the number of questions that you knew off the top of your head......and let's be honest! The 10 Aussie Trivia Questions are as follows: A. What year did Phar Lap win the Melbourne Cup? B. How many ships made up the First Fleet? C. What is the height of Mount Kosciuszko (in metres)? D. What is the sum of the points of all the stars on the Australian Flag? E. What was the day and month (ddmm) Ned Kelly was hanged at old Melbourne Gaol? F. How many runs did David Hookes score in his debut test innings? G. How old was Sidney Nolan when he died? H. How many Senators make up the Australian Senate? I. What weight (in kilograms) did Dean Lukin lift in the clean and jerk to win Gold at the 1984 Olympics? J. How many days were there in the year vegemite was invented? At the starting coordinate, Mr Hardie is impounded, but he will still give you a 5 digit number......only if the entrance is closed! Take a note of the number. To obtain the South coordinate of the cache, perform the following calculation and add the result to the original South coordinate: (C-A) - (E/B) - D - (sum of Mr Hardie digits but excluding the penultimate digit). To obtain the East coordinate of the cache, perform the following calculation and subtract the result from the original East coordinate: (J-I) + (G-H) - F + (the ultimate Mr Hardie digit). Please return the cache to its home as you found it. Why not take some lunch along with you and enjoy the views while you are at it. Happy hunting!
