Description
Part of the Leap Frog race
I wonder how many of these frogs there are in the race? Bunnings only had one style of frog for sale this year...
This frog started in Adelaide, South Australia
This frog is a bit plain so feel free to redecorate him if you like...
See if you can spot were my cousin decided he wanted to give the frog a beard...
To log a movable cache:
First log a "Found It" log so others don't continue to look for it
Once you've hidden it again post a "Moved" log with the new coordinates
Oh, and its quite heavy...

Logs
This cache seems to have gone AWOL right after Tuena placed it. We were down this was a few weeks ago and hubby went for a look and didn't see it. Came back here today on the way through town as I was not quite satisfied seeing as it is still coming up as unfound. Using the gps this time, GZ points to where we looked previously, and I was still unable to locate it.

Moved to Kangaroo Valley as more opportunity for a pick up providing the finder has strong muscles. Has another moveable for company.
Found on a creaking picnic table on a warm Autumn afternoon. Many thanks to Black Bunny & just a cacher for the swap.
Down in the hands of a local cacher for some fun by the sea.
Found with a group of others. Will take them for a drive this weekend

There are quite a number of moveable caches hidden here together. I came here to grab a couple of moveable caches to take travelling with me. Just as I got here I looked around and saw two muggles had appeared in the area. I shoved a couple of random caches in my bag, covered up the other caches and tried to look casual as I wandered off. Your cache was unfortunately too big to grab randomly and it mightn't have fitted in my bag. After the muggles had left the area I came back and signed this log and got the GA number. Impressive cache . TFTC Laighside Legends.

A quick visit on my way home from grabbing a few other movables. No room left on the seat for this guy, so I just signed the log and headed off.

yayyy! found the little guy.. well not so little relative to other caches! going to move on!
Dropped by the area where this guy was to drop off a mate for him.....only to see the area had been bulldozed. Checked around the area to see if the frog was there....and spied him under a tree about 40 metres. Seems like the workmen spotted him and moved him to safer ground. To be sure though, I picked him up and moved to a spot on the other side of town....and up at our main lookout. Hopefully he should be safe there til he is found again.....
Cache on....

Grabbed this hitch-hiker while on a run out west.
Will move it on soon(ish).

Picked up this hitch hiker on our way out of town. Well, I didn't, as he's too heavy.

9.2kgs of CACHE is in residence at The Rock until we head over to Canberra in the next week or so.
And I, a 15 year old decided to lift this cache into the boot of the car. But hypno toad. Thanks The Morris for giving caughtatwork and I a pile of caches, which will all be moved soon.
Met The Morris and she handed me a pile of moveable caches. This makes for a very easy transaction and these will all be hidden again very shortly.
We didn't really even move this big brute far from the car
#GA777 - 17:05; I'd heard this frog had hopped into Canberra after a long hibernation. I'd just missed it at a prior location, so headed out today hopeful of an encounter in the wild. I knew it was in a familiar area, but once I parked the geomobile, I didn't worry about the GPSr, heading straight to a likely spot which turned out to be GZ. I had it in mind to make a move, but decided to leave him in situ for somebody feeling a bit more energetic than I was this afternoon. TFTF Laighside Legends

Spotted this big boy with Albida before his redeployment in the Canberra area. Great to see some old moveables still during the rounds.
Thanks Laighside Legends....love the name!!

Wow, this frog has been hiding for a long time ! The 'cave' he was in was as heavy as he is but I made it back with the car without breaking anything and now he is at my place waiting a new placement in the ACT.
Thanks

now he's the Frosty Frog.... entombed at the top of the mountain.
I was riding along the bike path next to the Tallygaroopna causeway this morning and stopped half way to have a look see if the 9.2kg frog was still in residence.
Yes it is
I pondered retrieval possibilities....
...maybe on my ride back I could grab it and somehow transport all that dead weight back to my geomobile parked some 9.2 kms away
But after some disastrous caching experiences involving multiple punctures and a hot day in the saddle, there was no way I was stopping on my way back to pick up that load
I thought I might be back this way on Thursday, but alas plans changed !!
Good luck White Freddo

I needed some leg room so we dumped the hefty frog in a likely place for frogs just outside Mooroopna ( right before the Sign ) He's over the side of the embankment at the base of the big tree. He has a little bark shelter over him to protect him from the elements.
It felt a bit like antarctica when we picked these guys up.

Mr Frog was missing in action for awhile, he disappeared camping and fishing with Gnorman the Gnerdy Gnome, it appears that they partied pretty hard reappearing with a few extra tattoos. Mr Frog & Gnorman have been placed at this location and been told to stay put until someone offers them transportation.

Picked up this not so small heavy Frog, from OZ Mega.
It looked like he might be left behind at OZ Mega, so I have taken the Frog to Beechworth.
He is too big for the Beechworth TB B&B, but there is a Travel Bug Camping area not far from the B&B which has a nice water hole that I'm sure this Frog will enjoy.
The Frog has become good friends with Gnorman the Gnome, they have been hanging together since OZ Mega and will be camping together for awhile.

Belated logging of one of the many frogs that had invaded Albury for the Oz Mega event - they all seemed to be having a fantastic time together (although this frog did intimidate some of the smaller frogs!), catching up on the froggy news and sharing the many stories of their adventures over the last few months.

Hopefully this will get the heavy frog back on the move. He had a lovely time down at the beach, but beachport is a long way from anywhere - especially when the weather gets cold. He is having a lark under some bark near bordertown with a couple of friends.
Seems I am day or two late for frog collecting. Of the four frogs I attempted today while in Mount Gambier I only found one and it had been substituted the day before.
Curse you mt Gambier... I'm not staying here any longer.
I'm going to the beach for a froggy Holiday.
I'm only staying until Monday 9th at 10.00am - then I'm Outta here!

The Big Frog is plonked out the front of the Gaol. Lurking in the long Grass.
What will this do to our fuel consumption on the way home? We now have a boot half full of frogs. We collected the hefty frog and will take it over into Victoria with us.

Picked Up This VERY Heavy Frog And Took Him To A Dam Unfortunately The Dam Didnt Have Much Water In It So He Is Being Moved On
Rated: for Overall Experience
A quick drop off - didn't want to carry around too long - petrol is too expensive to have this heavyweight impacting fuel consumption.
As the famous frog Neil Flipperstrong said: "One small hop for frog, one giant leap for amphibian."
Hop on, fatty.

Woohoo FTFTF.
Holy frog-hoppin' Batman!
That's a big one. Where am I going to hide that?
Nearly had an accident coming back up the bank. Yikes.
TFTF I think! ? !
As my ol' grandpop used to say "Don't count your tadpoles before the frogs come home to roost." (He didn't really say that. Only an idiot would say that)
