Geocaching Australia

I keep giggling at the thought of my mum ringing me up some time back, excitedly telling me that "they've swapped the gnomes and there is another one in its place, now smaller". She doesn't play gps games at all.

I agree. A work trip gave me the chance to drop 1 gnome in Perth, and head over to someone's house I wouldn't have met otherwise to grab 3 to bring back to Sydney. I wouldn't have met them if it wasn't for gnomes.

Now the race is over is it acceptable to find and move our own gnomes?

Yeah, sure why not. You don't know any more about their new hide than anyone else.

We certainly don't! Our little man Cammo gnome has gone missing in Canberrra.

My gnome pathtag arrived this morning.
Thank you, C@W!!!! He's lovely! A wonderful reminder of the race!!!

Excellent.
I hope all 238 of them make it and they take pride of place in your collection.

The postman handed me a package with our gnome pathtag as I was dealing with the wheelie bins this morning (no gnomes in them!). Many many thanks for this. I would photograph it with our gnome, but he has run a way to WA!!!

On a different note, is it jsut coincidence that this movie appears now??? http://villagecinemas.com.au/Movies/3D- ... ilm_gnomeo What are all the gnomes planning??

Got mine today as well! Awesome stuff. So kind of the admins to provide the pathtags.

Got mine yesterday, thanks heaps C@W and co.
This was a very enjoyable and entertaining exercise, and at the end of it I have a gnome and a pathtag.

Are there any last minute requests for gnomes in Sydney? Most of them will be at a party tomorrow so I can pass on their orders if owners need

I'm happy with the one little guy that arrived here in Perth today!

Thanks heaps for your organisational oversight (and pathtag creation!)

Cheers,

Hi Blossom,
It would be good if Eromsil could head north. I plan to make him a fixed cache at Regional SES HQ up here when he arrives home. BUT there is no need to send him direct. I have changed his mission on the cache site.
Jiggly may well like to continue seeing he is small many people will be easily able to collect him and take him places.

Cheers

I have Eromsil & live in the Shoalhaven. There must be some sort of barrier between my home & Sydney as I haven't visited Sydney since year 2000 & even that was a few Ks west of the CBD.

Will take Eromsil to an event in Shellharbour next Saturday & see if any SES volunteers are willing to move him on.

Thank you so much for another shiny. My gnome pathtag arrived in the mail today.! And there are 39 gnomes partying tomorrow at Sydney Olympic Park. What a photo that's going to be.!
