Nevermind. I went back up and read the instructions, Wow they do help! hidnseek, we are now teamed up.

[wyohunter]

I got my first claim put in today. We agreed to release Beanie Bears into caches that are related in anyway to wildlife. This is Fun!

Traveling Viking has done something right out of the box and created a little video

the garden gnomes in Germany are certainly exciting! - and check out the song titles the auto search pops up next door -"Sympathy for the Devil" by the Rolling Stones!

[wyohunter]

That is very good! I am not near that talented though! Great Job Viking!

[wyohunter]

Got my second task logged. I assume I post in here when done? I have logged into the game already. This was great! My second Task should be seen be quite a few people I hope! Thanks for creating this!

My second task, my coin, is off to a great start! Took him to an event today and has already been passed around twice since then! This was a great thing to do!

[chstress53]

Here is my TB
http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=93853
And here is my partners.
http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=87078

This Event is were I made toasts with others telling about the plight of the Tassies.

Check out the posted photos ofmy Tasmanian drinking vessel. My partner from Italy will be posting her toasting photos to a cache shortly.

This game has been the best ever. I have gained a new friend in another country and we have a regular exchange going. My partner was finding it difficult to get TB tags so I shipped her some for christmasd and in return she shipped me some Candy from Holland and I am awaiting a shipment of candy from Italy. THis has been a blast.

[wyohunter]

Wow, only 6 days left! Hope everyone is close to finishing! This has been a fun challenge! Of course I found out I dont' have quite the imagination that most of you have, but it was still fun!

[forthferalz]

Great to see everyone dash for the finish line ( which is why we need a deadline - i'm a terrrible procrastinator otherwise and even some new players who had made their travelbug independantly of the game recently and have entered
As Valentine's day is the finish date I emailed the unpartnered 'lonely hearts' who do not have partners to see if they want to try this: Claim 1. Log any cache to do with wildlife 2. print out a small poster advertising the Devil's pliight and UTAS website - put it up on a public noticeboard somewhere (coordinates would be nice )

Love the drinking vessels, love the little cards ( i'll have to pop some in teh cache) and all the travelbugs ensure the game lives on - and the poor wee devil may have a fighting chance, I guess we'll have some more news sometime this year one way or the other. I'm making up the finishing certificates which function as the tickets and am waiting on a reply to see who will draw the winners.

[forthferalz]

oh that's it game over the winner will be drawn tomorrow and I'll post the winners and announce the start of
"Australian Odyssey" game as the Australia 2007 geocoin is getting ready to go into production.

[forthferalz]

Thanks/obrigado/grazie/danke sehr/grand merci to everyone for spreading the word - it wasn't quite as simple as I thought so congratulations to all who finished their missions.

There were two who finished without their partners so I paired them up for the draw. Aussie cacher Robtas ( owner of the orignal Devil travelbug ) has drawn the winners for us today - you had greater than a one in three chance of winning btw
and they are......
1. Tooey and caughtatwork ! A gold compass rose each (courtesy of Eric at USA coins even though he don't know it yet, who shipped me an extra pair above the replacements for some scratched ones)
2. Traveling Viking and Not so Lost Puppies - A burgundy Lips coin each - these are my babies, pinky red glitter and a trade only item courtesy of Rusty at personalcoins who also don't know it - GCC shipped me extra above the number they contracted to pay me for the design
3. Parents of Sam and Wutzebear - A gold Sydney koala each - Steve of Hogwildstuff also sent me extras for helping with a design!
4. Ladybug kids and Bargao_Henriques - another final set of my kissy lips to these cachers. Shame - I have finally found my camera and just busted the card reader by not ejecting it properly or I'd post photos - anyone with tech advice please pm
Anyhow all the best to you all, and your travel bugs - happy caching

PS this is not a plug for any coin manufacturer, I just dont want to seem more generous than I am! I was wondering how I was going to manage when my own thylacine coin failed to materialise and lady luck intervened.

Hey great! My last coin starts to show its effects.

I like this little coala! Mail will come soon.

[forthferalz]

http://feralcaching.wordpress.com/australian-odyssey/australian odyssey begins today. Still waiting for a couple of the winners to contact me with addresses!

"A journey around Australia’s wild places starting in my home state. As you solve each page you will need to save the code and numbers to find the secret caches which will be hopefully be hidden with geocoin prizes around the world. You can log one of these caches from afar and still get a smiley or even win a coin "

There is a page about the upcoming aussie geocoin but that's not the prize coins

[wyohunter]

Congrats to the winners! Hopefully we will get the word out about these little guys!

[ParentsofSAM]

Wow!! I can not believe that we won!! WOOT!

Thanks for the fun contest.

[ParentsofSAM]

We received our prize today in the mail. A very beautiful Sydney Koala Bear!

Thanks forthferalz for this great fun contest. Hope it raised awarness about the Tasmania Devil.

[forthferalz]

Is this some sort of a record? One of the TB's has made it to the cache already. Thanks to Rhinogeo for dropping it off. and how fitting - it belongs to Beutelteufelweibchen (Tassie Devil) of Germany!
