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...

So long, giant frog!

Reviewing active moveable caches - it appears to have gone

Checked earlier in the week & cache not there.
 
24-Sep-16
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.

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 Ribbit. 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.

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....

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.

#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 Very HappyRibbitClan Cerberus

discovered in Alibda's boot.. lol.. bye bye you heavy thing
 
16-Dec-15
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!!
 
14-Dec-15
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

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 Very Happy
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 Crying or Very sad
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 Embarassed
I thought I might be back this way on Thursday, but alas plans changed !!
Good luck White Freddo Clapping

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.

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.

One heavy frog found at the Mega event in Albury

09-Apr-12
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.
TFTC - and safe travels...

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.

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.

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.
 
01-Dec-11
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)

Apty currently has this frog and it will be hidden somewhere Thursday morning...
