Yes. Your GCA cacher name is nutwood33.

Go and make your member name nutwood33 and it should update on the next cycle.

You need to edit the tags to have bingo as the tag.
You currently have "transport bingo".

Visit each of your caches.
http://geocaching.com.au/cache/GA4956
http://geocaching.com.au/cache/GA4957
http://geocaching.com.au/cache/GA4959
http://geocaching.com.au/cache/GA4960
http://geocaching.com.au/cache/GA4961

Look at the tags section.
Next to Public Tags click on the note icon.
Remove transport and just leave bingo.

They should appear on the map.

My initial observation:

The strategies & tactics employed by the Tasmanians seem the most abel.

I've added tags for everything (hopefully) that were missing.

Please don't fake moves. Fake moves will be deleted and may DQ the cache from the game.

If a certain cacher isn't part of the game but still wants to log the moveables, is it ok if those cachers log a cache while in the hands of a playing cacher?

It looks like more of a slip of the fingers. There are two move logs for the same person and I doubt that the cacher meant to do such a move as it is only the S37 to S31 that is different.

Thanks for the info. I'll correct the log and make it all look kosher.

The cache never moved off shore. Please don't do this. Fake moves will be deleted with extreme prejudice and will DQ the cache from the game.
It was an accident - fumble fingers (not mine, I always make bigger booboos) - I read the coords out to that cacher, I seem to recall 21 was keyed in instead of 31.
