Description

Prince CHARMing... CHARMing a place near you!

This cache is part of 'Leapfrog' a moveable cache race running from 1 Dec 2011 to 31 Jan 2012

Please move 'prince CHARMing' far and wide.  As you find hte cache, please feel free to take a charm from the inside!

Your challenge is to locate this cache, collect it, run away, make your log and rehide it somewhere else, as far away as possible, and as quickly as possible. When you find it and move it along, please rehide it safely, but provide a detailed hint in your "moved" log so that he can easily found next time. Please feel free to log this cache as often as you wish, as long as you are having fun finding and rehiding it. Of course, you should wait until one other person has hidden it before you can log it as a find again.

There are some simple guidelines:

  • When you grab the cache please rehide it within 2 days to keep the cache moving.
  • Please rehide the cache as far away from where you found it as possible. The further the better!
  • Log your find at Geoaching Australia as soon as you can so others are not trying to find the cache you just moved. When logging your find at geocaching.com.au, please insert the co-ordinates in the coords box. This allows the software to automatically update the new location. Enter your co-ordinates in the format Sdd mm.mmm Eddd mm.mmm You don't have to include the degrees or minutes symbols when entering updated co-ordinates but you should leave a space between the degrees and minutes. Try a copy and paste of the example co-ordinates into the new co-ordinates box and type over them.

Please keep this cache in Australia but feel free to move it interstate if you feel in the mood. Wherever possible, try and keep to the difficulty / terrain rating as originally listed. Of course the best fun about one of these caches is that you don't have to worry about being spotted retrieving the cache. Feel free to be as obvious as you need to be in order to claim it.

Time to rest prince charming!

I had to fly down to Melbourne for the day, with the job being at Richmond I wanted to try for at least one cache. Saw this hadn't been found for a very long time, so thought it made a good target and if I could bring it back to Sydney it would be new and get a few new finders.

Managed to park around the corner and found the phone box, but unluckily no sign of a cache. Possibly not surprising after all this time. Either the previous hider was really devious (though I checked where the hint indicated) or it has been cleaned up sometime in the interim, I don't know how often Telstra clean their phone booths.

Dropped off this morning on a visit to two nearby new geocaches. Should be a quick and easy find...

Grabbed on a Leapfrog swap (almost - slight change of position on the frog I dropped off) at a park I remember from the GeGnome Project race last year. I'll move it along soon. TFTC

Hidden by Facitman and e-facit at 23:25
On our way home after picking up e-facit and the frogs in my frog bag were constantly complaining about being in a bag over Christmas. This location is well suited to frogs so prince CHARMing was happy to slip between a couple of rocks and wait for the next finder!
Thanks Bubblzdee

Wattle Park has become a repeat frog hunting ground for me. I came back today as I thought I needed to stretch the legs at the start of my Christmas break. The walk around was very pleasant and as the temperature was climbing the park was pretty quiet, which suited me!
Discovered a nest of frogs... or is that a pod of frogs... hang on... G...O...O...G...L...E.......C...O..M. Right yes it's an army of frogs, or a knot of frogs. Oh I give up!
So four frogs jumped into my bag here. Two others stayed behind as I had already found them, and one from my bag decided to stay here.
Thanks Bubblzdee, I'll hide this one shortly

I had to go out and place five frogs at lunchtime today as I ran out of time last night with Xmas shopping and a nine year old Birthday party to attend. So today at lunch I find myself back at Wattle Park, a park I have attended a great many times these last few weeks, logging a couple of leapfrog caches and dropping of five others. Given the limited time I placed them all at the same location, this one. There are now SIX frogs sitting here having a chat waiting for someone else to come along and help them on their journey. Thanks it was a nice walk.

Once again I’m sitting at work looking for a lunchtime cache and I came across 5 leaping frogs at 11+ km from me. However the Monash Freeway would make the journey achievable in the limited time I had available. The freeway was running relatively slowly, and Burke Road was at a standstill, so when I got to the GZ location I found that I had very limited time. I parked close by and ran into the racecourse and grabbed all five frogs. How’s that, 1 hide, 5 frogs and 5 smilies. Now that’s cool. I will drop them all off somewhere later tonight when I go to collect some other leaping frogs close to home.

Moved a little bit west and into themd country. Hopefully he's watching the logs and should see this froggie pop up in the usual place.
Beware, there are 4 for 1 in here with 3 quite small ones.
Enjoy the race little froggies.

I found this cache with caughtatwork tonight in an evening of froggie hunting.

Gotcha. A tricky cache to park at but not too tricky to grab. Will move on soon.

After a quick hot-glue repair last night (frogs all solid now) I dropped this off early this morning near the Yarra. Plenty of running and cycling muggles around but none interested in me. I've put this far enough away from the nearby GC cache (I hope) to avoid confusion.

thanks geojas

Dont' stress if you have problems witht he fixing, just send him on the way and if I'm ever nearby the GZ, will sort out myself. Have plenty more charms!
 
06-Dec-11
I was down at Altona and had just found a spot for this cache when I pulled it out of my pocket and two of the three frogs on the outside had fallen off. Luckily I found them in my bag. I'll do some repairs tonight and drop off tomorrow.
 
05-Dec-11
I came out to grab a few frogs but ran out of time so this was the only one I got. Thanks buzzlzdee for the cache and the charm. I had to explain to the geokids that we had to leave some for the next finder.

*FTF* Found with Spladem TFTC

"too many caches makes me all froged out"

*FTF* with good mate Darian (MRX02) easy find and one of many for the night..

Reviewing my stats I discovered a few that had very few logged words regarding the journey. I like to write a bit, and hate reading my caches logs with little of the story. This one was found somewhere and dropped somwhere on a day when we moved frogs via Geelong, Queenscliffe, Newport (ish) and ultimately to Kilkunda. Thanks for the cache and the opportunity to take this one along for the journey. This one like the 15 or soo others ended up at either Avalon Airport or up a tree at Kilkunda.. Fun was had, however like all good story's they must come to an end.. thanks for the frog..
