Well the race has finished but you can read about it below. Great to see our Roo is still going after 5 years and has traveld some distance. We are glad you are enjoying moving her on and she hasn't been kept. Keep the travelling going and who knows where she will get to.  24/06/2015 Puddle Jumpers - your Aussie caching mates .

To compete in the Great Canberran Trackable Race and then find my way to the Scotland Mega Event site (photo appreciated) and hop around the globe. I would like to collect mega event keyrings on my travells (and visit events) so any who can assist get a big thankyou (and maybe even a path tag for you troubles - email my owner if you add to the collection).
 

Also I would like to find my way to Sesame Street (it is in Bungendore NSW Australia GC2FY5H) for Dec 7 2011 to end the race on a high note then go back out in search of events.. Race rules below:

Starting the Race
The actual start of the race will take place at an event being held by the Geocaching Community of Greater Victoria (GCGV) in Victoria, BC, Canada (GC# TBA) This means that all trackables will be starting at the same time from the same place giving each trackable a fair and equal start. Starting at this event will also help spread the word of a trackable race from half way across the world.

Ending the Race
The end of the race will not be determined by a finish line, but rather a finish date December 7th, 2011, 11:59 pm local (AEDT) time. At this time, all the points will be tallied and double checked and a winner will be announced at a wrap-up event December 10th, 2011 in Canberra (TBA at a later date).

General Race Rules
1.Dipping (or visiting) is not allowed. However, we can’t stop this from occurring. So how do we handle a dip? If a dip occurs, any points earned from the dip will not be tallied, including pictures, borders, etc. In some cases, this can result in serious point losses. All trackables will have an attached tag that states the No Dipping (or visiting) rule.
2.Once the race has officially begun in Canada, contestants in the challenge are forbidden from handling any racing trackable. This is done to prevent people from cheating by intentionally moving other entries to hinder their travels. All trackables will have an attached tag stating that they are in the 2011 Canberran Trackable Race.
3.Contestants are encouraged to follow their own trackable’s movements. Each month, the race standings will be updated with the scores for all entries. If you feel that your entry’s score is incorrect, or you feel that you we have miscalculated, please contact the race organizer for assistance, along with details.
4.There is an inherent risk in releasing any trackable that it might go missing. If this happens, unfortunately you are out of the race, unless it suddenly reappears before the competition ends. For this reason you are encourage to keep on top of your trackables movements to prevent this from happening.
