Description

Tina - the Tiny T-Rex, a late starter to the dinosaur race.

Tina is supposed to be an entrant in the 2018 Spring Caching Carnival but her start was handicapped by the ineptitude of Australia Post.

While gentle in nature, she is likely to go 'postal' at anything to do with our nations postal service. Still with a bit of luck, pluck, and determination she may just get the start she needs to be crowned Queen of the Carnival (or at least qualify for fashions on the field for her accessories).

What Do I Do With Her?

  • Find it and post a FOUND log. This will indicate its no longer hiding in this spot.
  • Locate somewhere else to hide it. 50m away or 50,000m away, your choice, its better if its close enough for other GCA cachers to find easily.
  • Record the new co-ordinates and note a decent clue on how to find it, this is no time to be cryptic - lets make finding easy and keep the dinos moving.
  • Create a MOVED log, so potential finders will know its back in play and ready to be found.

Have moved up a hill. Apologies for the late placement!
 
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.

An update will be posted within 28 days….

I had to be in Wilston today for an annual get together of those in my employer's organisation who do the same or similar role to my own. Its always a pretty full on day and today was no different. Although there are now two of us in the same role at my particular workplace so both the muggle co-worker an I were at the meeting. Morning tea was cut short due to time constraints, and lunch was limited too and proved to be the only opportunity we could get roadside to find a hiding spot. I took muggle co-worker with me on the hiding expedition, a bit of an introduction to the obsession I have been banging on about all year since the department moved from being a solo enterprise to a team of two.

Arriving on the footpath, we identified one or two places that could suit, choosing the one that is now Ground Zero. No GPS with me, so I used a gps tracking app which may or may not be 100% accurate, although Google Earth at home tells me it looks close enough. A brief discussion on what the green, slightly spikey plant which now hides Tina is called (neither of us could think of its name), a quick photo (see attached) then back into the auditorium to type up a brief moved log just as the next session was starting, co-incidentally on Teams and Portals. I guess you could say that my co-worker and I were a team in this hide, and we provided a portal to the Brisbane Dinosaur Herd (WDH).

It would have been nice to visit the BDH but the meeting ran late and we needed to head back to the Gold Coast.

Enjoy Tina.


Tina is in a hollow, just on the edge of the retaining wall under the left hand side of green spikey cascading plant.

Once again we've received 'instructions' from a small grey bear.

"Hey, Suzy"

"Yes", I replied cautiously, last time he hoped up on the table while we were having a cup of tea after work we received the kind of detailed instructions on dinosaur movements that would put battle planners to shame. Fortunately, this time there is only one dinosaur close to home. Surely todays instructions will be simpler.


"You know that dinosaur, Tina, that I hid in the gnome tree?" he stated. Obviously he knew that we knew exactly who he was talking about. "Well, Tina has been hiding for almost a week, I see on your calendar that you are going up to Brisbane for an all day work thing tomorrow. I've checked the map, and the place you are going to is pretty close to the Brisbane dinosaur herd. Why don't you go for a walk this afternoon, pick up Tina then take her with you tomorrow, maybe you'll find a place to hide her near where your meeting is. Then my geofriends in Brisbane can move her closer to the herd".


It sounded like a reasonable idea, so we headed to the park for a walk and picked up Tina.

Thanks.

Good luck Tina, enjoy your adventures and keep away from postal workers.
Published date retrospectively set to 1 September so she can be included in the Dinosaur Racing lists.
