Description

A participant in the leapfrog moveable cache race

This cache has been placed as part of the 2011/2012 moveable cache race.                         Leap Frog.

The frog size is small and the cache container is NANO. Please be careful of this one as the container is in two pieces.  It has been initially placed in a high population area to encourage it to be found and moved on.  Please re hide this one in a location that is not visible to the casual passerby muggle.

Last morning of a quick work trip to Fremantle, and I still had a couple of frogs to leave before just making the flight home. So the pair found a nice burnt out gum to hide in covered with leaves.

One I missed during the race so it was good to grab it this time. Gave me a shock when I picked it up, so took it home and let Anna suffer the same surprise. Thanks youngoldfella.

Little 'a rock' showed up in Blackheath, in the Blue Mountains, to enjoy the company of all the other Leap Frogs at this informal event.

I think he had a good time, in his quiet way. I know I did.

Where will he go next?

Wait and see . . .

Happy travelling, 'a rock' . . .

Found at an impromptu Frog and Gnome party in the Blue Mountains.

A great number of frogs, gnomes and other moveables gathered to swap tales of their life on the road.

Thanks for the frog
 
12-Feb-12
Nice find today among all the Frogs, Gnomes and others over 70 participants as well as the odd human, some of them very odd indeed!
Many Frogs and Gnomes went to Canberra and who knows where from there, and many stayed to be relocated around the Sydney area very soon.
 
12-Feb-12
What we ended up with was afternoon tea, bags and bags of frogs, and pleasant chats with some very nice cachers - as well as pjmpjm and RogerW3!

Please forgive me if I got it wrong, but I seem to remember pjmpjm, RogerW3, Toriaz and Taiko's family, all at the party. As well as a few young ladies and gentlemen running around and being generally helpful.

We now have many, many frogs to rehome, so the sooner we start the better!

Found this little frog at the Blackheath gathering & collected him to take home & move along somewhere.

This was a really cute little frog, I enjoyed this one Smile .

Don't go looking for him he has gone.

'Leapfrog a rock' does not seem to be the worse for wear after the humongous party all the Frogs had, they were all very quiet as I bundled them into the back pack. Well there was no way I was going to pay for all those train tickets!

Picked up this fella with 8 of his mates in a rain soaked early morning frog run. They are all in my car conspiring on their next move. I'll need to separate them soon. Laughing

With all the DNFs but no cacher logging a "find" it seemed leapfrog a rock must still be there. Confirmation from the last hiders sent me off to chase this little critter down once and for all.

I first went to visit popstar frog in the hope that he could help me meet up with St3ve and leapfrog a rock. Found the little gap in the greenery with no trouble - after all, I'd been here a number of times already! And as I got to the end, popstar was there on the right singing away loudly, totally peroccupied with himself.

He claimed to have seen and heard nothing of any other frogs in the area Rolling Eyes so I left popstar to his practice and began my search.

I went to the start of the path and crawled on hands and knees all along peering under every clump of bushy grass, just in case this pair had hopped off a short distance. Nothing.

As previously, I crawled around and peered into and under every spikey clump in the area. As previously, I found nothing Sad

If popstar was on the right of the path, maybe I had the wrong side? So I crawled along looking on the other side as well. There were even more spikey clumps here to look into and under.

I decided to PAF and double check the clue for popstar. Huge thanks to richary who gave me moral support as I searched even more. "No, they're just not here" I told him. But they HAD to be, popstar was right where he should be. Well, if he's there, they should be just....

And they were Rolling Eyes They had rolled themselves up in a bit of dry grass and leaf litter and, being fairly small, were not visible at all. Even feeling I almost missed them.

But all's well that ends well and they are off and travelling again Very Happy

It is under the plant at the end of the path (left hand side) facing the wall.
 
23-Jan-12
I thought to try this one also, but no luck, the only "Path" I could find is the top of the sea wall and since the whole area is covered by clumps of grasses and plants makes the "Hint" pretty useless.
 
23-Jan-12
did a frog check for nightfairy and they are both still together, did co Ord check and I pretty much had the same (S33 49.757 instead of 759)
 
21-Jan-12
No luck for me with this pair, even with the extra hint. Not that it's much of a trail but I assume it was the right place.
 
21-Jan-12
I was there at 11:30pm last night with my headlamp and peered absolutely everywhere with no sign of them Sad

Hopefully someone grabbed them and still hasn't logged
 
21-Jan-12
it is definitely there unless someone has grabbed and not logged
when ur on the trail towards the waterline look to your left and they are at ur feet
 
20-Jan-12
Is he there? I crawled around all the clumps of grass and all the bushes croaking my head off but no replies came to me Sad

Moved this fellow near the water. He has a friend to keep him company.

I was so reluctant to let this guy go. I've kept him fairly close and told him if he gets scared out there on his own, he only has to call Very Happy
 
14-Jan-12
This rocky frog was enjoying a quiet weekend with blossom* when I dropped by to say hello. Very nicely designed Clapping
 
14-Jan-12
This has to be one of my favourite frogs! I wish I could keep it for ever and ever Smile

But I won't Razz
 
13-Jan-12
Yeah! Another new froggie visiting Sydney. I'll have to take him on a bit of a tour around Very Happy

'leapfrog a rock' has gone back down the mountains and found this quiet spot in Bicentennial Park, but something tells me he has probably already gone from there and been gnapped by a local frog hunter.
 
12-Jan-12
'Leapfrog a rock' wanted to see the Blue Mountains, so what better way than a train trip to Lithgow where he has been gnapped and will be moved back to the big smoke very soon.

Hope 'leapfrog a rock' doesn't get lost among the 'real rocks' of Lithgow!

He might be hard to find . . .

Another unusual Queensland Leap Frog! Very imaginative indeed.

Now he's going to be off on a long time through the Blue Mountains!

When we removed Red Dart Scuba Frog from his hidey hole Leapfrog a rock jumped in. He thought it was a great spot to hide until someone can move him further.

Good luck Leapfrog a rock I'm sure you are going to have a great adventure.

We don't usually travel through Burleigh Heads during peak summer season but since we had been at Miami visiting Brooklet frog we needed to pass through that way to get home. As we were just about to pass the Burleigh Mowbray Park Surf Club a tiny green thumb was seen sticking out of the bushes.

I asked Mr Petan if he was thinking what I was thinking and indeed we were thinking the same thing so we fought the crowds for a parking space and went to investigate. Hidden amongst the bushes lining the beachside park was a new frog we hadn't met before. He seemed happy to see us and jumped at the chance to join us on our adventures.

You've spent the past couple of moves near the beach... I wonder where too next tiny froggy.

It was the day after NY's day and it was time to say good-bye to thefourbees. They'd headed down to Burleigh for a surf but I hopped off in the other direction and found a cool spot where I could put my thumb out hop(p)ing for a ride south.
 
30-Dec-11
After a couple of weeks eating ham, it was time to move on. I decided to spend new years eve with thefourbees who were passing by.

This little spot must have got overlooked in the recent cITO event.

See you in 2012.

Knee deep.

It was raining when we woke, but the showers were easing, so we decided to head north to hunt some frogs RibbitRibbitRibbit before the sun came out and make it too hot. Went to download the coordinates to our GPS to be confronted with a message that Google Earth or some other program had control of our device so we had to enter the coords manually! Brick Wall Still don't know what is wrong with the GPS, but we found the frog and another *FTF* Laughing Will find somewhere to leave leapfrog a rock tomorrow. TFTC youngoldfella
