Description
This is a moving cache which was originally created for a Moving Cache Race game on www.cachinggames.com which ran during December 2009 and January 2010.
As I was creating the listing for this cache and making the cache container, my soon-to-be-wife had some things to say about my priorities as I was meant to be packing my bags to leave on our wedding and honeymoon. She still let me go hide it though. :)
The cache container has a magnet in the base if you wish to utilise it but don't feel you have to hide it on a metal surface. Have fun!
This is a moving cache which was created for a Moving Cache Race game on www.cachinggames.com which ran during December 2009 and January 2010.
Now the race has finished it is free to continue to travel Australia.
Multiple Finds are permitted on this cache as long as another cacher has found and hidden it prior to your subsequent find. (obviously!)
Damo and new wife Sarie were getting married and honeymooning during the first part of the game.
In that spirit, the cache would now like to visit places which have a special meaning for you and your special person. Pictures and wordy logs welcome. :)
Moving-cache hiding tips:
- When you grab the cache please rehide it again elsewhere at the latest within 48 hours.
- Log your find here on geocaching.com.au with a Found it log as soon as you can so others are not trying to find the cache you just moved.
- When you rehide the cache, log a Moved log and put the new coordinates in the "Add waypoint co-ordinates to log:" box. This allows the software to automatically update the new location.
Enter your co-ordinates in the format Sdd mm.mmm Eddd mm.mmm
You don't have to include the degrees or minutes symbols when entering updated co-ordinates but you should leave a space between the degrees and minutes.
Try a copy and paste of the example co-ordinates into the new co-ordinates box and type over them. - Add a hint for the new location in the Hints field when you enter the Moved log.
- Please keep this cache in Australia but feel free to move it interstate if you feel in the mood.
- Wherever possible, try and keep to the difficulty / terrain rating as originally listed.
When you hide it somewhere new, please add a good hint to help seekers to find it.

Picked up while in hoppers for a karate grading.
Have a couple of site in mind.
Was not the most savory hiding spot, and I doubt the location of the shop and the street name was a coincidence!!
Cheers Gordo
BTW, what was used to camo the container?

Shaft court is correct, Brakes Plus is no longer there... If the mover does not take a photo, i will post one after it has moved :)
This shop... Shaft court... To me, it's all just too funny :)
(edit) Brakes Plus is actually still there. The shop behind it is new since the Google Earth photo was taken... Brakes Plus is not on topic, but the shop behind it where the electricity box is located is.

Thought i would drop this off on my way home. It is a moveable cache and as such i have put it somewhere where there could well be lots of muggles but i just couldnt resist. It will be a snatch and run exercise.
Damo said to keep with the theme of love and relationships, so who ever finds this cache might have a bit of a giggle at where i have put it. It's out the front of a shop. I placed it at night, so i could not take a photo of the shop... Lets just say there is lots of love here.
It has a particularly funny symbolic meaning for my wife and I. My wife is Vietnamese and as such, when she came to Australia to live, i took her to a few places that just would not exist in her country. This was one of them. She still laughs about it today and tells her friends back home who still dont believe places like this exist.
ps: added a photo of the location if you wanted to be pre-armed about the location for a quick grab.

Been a long time since I was here. Was taking the geodogs for a swim and thought I would load up a few caches to find. Surprised to find and old farmilir cache had been moved here. Looks like I will have to move it again.

241, how cool is that. This cache has been sitting here since the end of the race so as Jess and I were around for some driving practice (and grab a cache or two) we thought we'd pick this one up again and move it on, hopefully in the morning.
Thanks Damo. for kindly placing a cache in the race and I hope that this moving cache and the remainder will continue to move around for a long time to come.

Thanks to everyone who sought out and moved this cache during the game. Hope you had as much fun as I did seeing the logs come in.
Cache is going to keep travelling. Have added a "goal" to visit places which have special meaning for you and your loved one to continue the theme in which it was named.

OK - this MAY be its last move in the race, but in case anyone wants to buy a cheap standby ticket to Melbourne, you'll find this one very close to Tullamarine Airport. It's an easy drive-by find, so check the hint for precise location details. It's with another MCR cache, so two-for-one here!
It's time for this honeymoon to end, and married life to continue.

Seeing that it was so close to home, and this is the last day of the race, I had to grab this one just once more! I will move it close to the airport this afternoon, just in case someone is crazy enough to fly down and get it before midnight! Stay tuned.

Moved it again on my way home... Boring placement but to add some incentive to come and collect it, my wife added a surprise into the cache. First to find will reap this reward!
It was going to be a brazen hide, but started to get a little too brazen with the ideas. It was dark when i hid it this time and i was thinking that kids might come and want to find it, so maybe next hide it will be "out there" to find and better for kids to find. :)

Dropped this off after work. Dont expect it to be anywhere exciting... Just a quick "drop and run" at 4am. Didnt smack my head around this morning... And no, there was no sunglasses this time around :)
At 4am, it was really quite, I cant promise it will be a quiet spot if you are going to pick it up during business hours. But it is more of a grab and move cache, so i figured, you grab it, go back to the car and move it somewhere else... Muggles may look puzzled...

Let's see now, something metallic around here...
Red? No!
Blue? No!
Yellow? No!
Green? Well look, there it is!
I must agree with c@w... very "brazen"... cache was in full view, yet somehow looked completely normal where it was - like it belonged there. I grabbed it about two minutes before the huge thunderstorm came through - nice timing. I'll move it on in the next day or two, out of Melbourne to one of our big regional centres. Stay tuned.

I hope it comes back as this is the only one in Victoria for the game I haven't got yet. I should have been less slack during the week, but I thought I'd give some others a chance.

Thanks for the nice wishes everyone. The wedding was wonderful.
The camo on the cache is "Spray Stone" paint from Bunnings. When painting plastic it's best to give it a bit of a rub with sandpaper first.

Hopefully this will be in easy reach of all those SE cachers. Since this has the most km's of all the caches, it's probably time to get some moves up on it as well.

No one else apparently found it, so I went out this morning for a better look when the light was better, armed with a more precise description of the location from solomonfamily, and found it in 10 seconds. Sigh!
Anyway, great to find out first cache race movable. We will place it later today.
Thanks Damo - That camo is great. I'd like to know how you got that effect.

Was off to the airport to fly to Melbourne so I thought I'd give this a leg up. Nearly missed my plane through the diversion - not as quick to get to as I'd thought. Anyway I wish I'd had time to examine the murky pond but had to grab and go. Now in Melbourne so look for it here. Should make this one the leader for a day or two?

First hiding place is next to the Dibble Street waterhole. I had been living in the area for a couple of years and never knew this pond was here as it is so hidden. The waterhole is what remains of a brickpit which was mined 1885-1888. Now it is a popular nesting place for birds and you are likely to see many ducks and ibis. Unfortunately the viewing platform overlooking the pond is locked off.
