Checked this one on a morning walk up and down the beach and there is no sign of it. It is too big to get lost in the shrubbery so it appears to may have been muggled.

Unfortunately a did not find for today, we searched everywhere matching the hint but didn’t manage to find this. I dunno if this movable is gone or I’m just blind today. Thanks for bringing us to this peaceful area Sad

This fine summer's evening attended geocaching australia event: The Moveables are Here!!, graciously hosted by Tassie Trekkers. Was fortunate to make it to the event as was not working and I only noted that it was going to be held on the previous evening - almost missed it. So many moveables in the one spot, roughly 150 in attendance. Nothing for it but to record a couple of notebook pages full of numbers. Definately not a gnome, looks like some funny not so little pink contraption a toddler might get excited about.. thanks..!!

Out and about today with RLD4963 and the GeoGSP, I stopped in at the moveable event (GA13269). It was flat out spotting and logging moveable caches - have not seen so much action at a geocaching event before. Luckily there was a nearby GC event after this one, where we could recover with a cuppa and a biscuit. Good luck to everyone for the current GCA game, and thanks to everyone who has published geocaches in time for the event! Cheers. Thanks TassieTrekkers.

Found at the Snug moveable meet along with many other moveables. What a busy time I will have logging all these moveables. I found four moveables at Evandale and bought these along for the ride. Other people bought many more though! Everyone had a great time. Today’s event will help everyone in their position on the ladder for the summer game. The game is described below

The latest Geocaching Australia game runs from 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST


This new game is about the choices you make in the experience of the journey or the destination.

On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing field with a number of ground tiles. Your playing field is a grid 20 x 20 ground tiles making a total number of 400 possible steps you can take on your journey or destination. You choose whether you want to find and follow the path or whether you wanted to meander around. A playing field is unique to each player so there is no benefit in teaming up to beat the system through brute force.

For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath. There are a number of different ground tiles that will be revealed when you click on your playing field. It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile


Dirt. The ground beneath the ground tile is just plain old brown dirt.

Dirt with some points. The ground beneath the tile is brown dirt but it has some points associated with it.

Concrete. The ground beneath is part of the pathway that will lead you on your way to your destination but has no point value.

Start. A concrete ground tile that has a blue map marker.

Destination. A ground tile that has a green map marker.

Meandering around and avoiding the path will accumulate points that will be used to place on you the ladder of wanderers. The more you stay off the path the higher the number of points you will accumulate and it will be your journey that will be the determining factor in whether you place into a prize winning position. You are free to select any ground tile to click on; they do not need to be next to each other.

Trying to find the path may mean you strike out on the dirt until you eventually come across the path and as a geocacher who can't say that this isn't a tried and true method. Once you find the path however will you try and follow the path as it changes direction around your playing field? Do you go North, South, East or West to try and find the next concrete tile along the path? If you head one way are you heading towards the start or towards the destination? When you do happen upon the destination tile then you will automatically be in a winning position.

At any point you are free to change from the journey to the destination and vice versa but you won't be able to regenerate your playing field. You are also free to keep playing as long as you have qualifying geocaches, accumulating more and more dirt tile points and placing you higher and higher on the ladder.

A moving cache, by nature, may have been moved since you last determined its location. It may have been picked up but not yet rehidden so it's considered 'in-transit'. There is no foolproof method of determining where a cache is simply by the log types that have been placed against the cache. In general the following applies:

A moved log with new co-ordinates indicates that the cache is in the new location ready to be found.
A found log with new co-ordinates indicates that the cache is in the new location ready to be found.
A found log with no new co-ordinates may indicate one of two situations:
The cache has been found and left in place.
The best way to determine this is to read the found log and hopefully the cacher who found the cache has indicated whether it is still in place.
The cache has been found and the cacher has taken it away to re-hide it.
The best was to determine this is to read the found log and hopefully the cacher who found the cache has indicated whether they have taken it away.
In essence, you will need to read the last log to determine whether the cache is in place or whether the cache has been moved. Remember that even though the logs indicate the cache may be at a certain location, it may have been picked up and moved only moments before you arrived. That's part of the challenge of a moving cache; you're never quite sure whether it's a DNF because you can't spot it or it's been moved along.

Wow there sure were plenty of moveable caches there of lots of different sizes

A great time was had by all the people that attended

Thanks for the cache

The event was a great idea (well done Stainless Steel Rat) as it tied in with a nearby GC event that was scheduled after this. Coming at the start of the new summer games also allowed the attendees to rack up a few points for the Journey or Destination Game (information below)

Hi Trekkers
A flying visit to the North West Coast in an effort to score Dragonzone Points today.

Left Huonville at 0730 hours and got back at 2215 hours
A round trip of 740 kilometres to score 14 caches
Finding those 14 caches required me to walk a total of 8.52 kilometres using 11088 steps and causing me to burn 1930 calories – great exercise.

The weather could not have been better; no wind, lots of sunshine and blue skies with very little cloud – about 18 degrees all day; BEAUTIFUL!

GA11704 “Not a Gnome ....”
Thirteenth find of the day
Quick and easy
Sainted at 1854 hours
After today, I needed training wheels!!
Got a few funny looks as I walked back to the car with this and a skull in my hand
TFTC and cheers

I know you wanted me to take this. The big problem was that Miss E wanted me to take it too but she may not have been happy to give it up. Also with the amount of stuff we had in the car (for a 26 hour trip) I would have had to tow it behind us. It may not have travelled over the gravel section of the Lake Highway too well at 80km an hour!

Hello Tassie Trekkers thanks for the cache.


I spotted this one at an event at Goat Island today.

TFTC
 
19-Jan-18
After the event in Princes Park in the city we noticed that this moveable was out and about again so we decided to revisit an area we had been to earlier in the day. We knew where we would find it hiding but did not know what we would be looking for and if we would be able to move it on.

We were right about the hiding spot but not about our ability to move it on. The object was lifted out of the hide and dumped into the car boot. Not a Gnome Not a Frog or an Angel definitely but exactly what is it? We have found it and wheeled it away. We'll take it for a little ride along the coast while we decide.

We will put it out again very soon.

This is the largest moveable I have found and it can’t be hidden just anywhere. It will get you a few points in the summer geocaching game. Find me quickly before a child does!
 
17-Jan-18
I don’t like snakes. I don’t like snakes! I had a big stick and hit the ground several times and circled and circled GZ . I could see the moveable but could I get the moveable? I summoned up enough courage and dived in and out as quick as I could. Cache in hand and heart beating and another cache type today. Aiming for six but the Trekkers gadget cache had me stumped and I could not do the Reverse cache nearby either so I am having a mixed day. First to find on this one - yah
