Sir Croaks a Lot has had a good run, he will be returned to us next weekend thanks everyone for helping him along the way
Collected Sir today at Tassie Trekkers request as heading home. Sorry Gorbak I think coords were slightly out when u tried to find.
This one hadn't moved for a while, so I thought I'd do something about it this morning, but couldn't find it... Could be cache-blindness of course, but I'm wondering if maybe it's been collected and not logged, or possibly mistaken coords? Anyway, I hope it turns up!
Another army of frogs has landed. Go Eastern shore cachers!!
We found this frog where we were expecting to find another frog, so obviously *someone* had been here recently... We checked GCA in the field and were pleased to discover a few new frogs in the area since we left home...
Collected from JAB's Letterbox, just been waiting for them to be moved there before moving on. All are hidden on the domain
Thanks for the frog

The exercise circuit that used to be here has long since gone, so we (my 11-year old and I) created one of our own - using frogs!
Still on the Eastern Shore, but up for some good views.
Stopped here to grab a few frogs on my way to an appointment, but after finding only two, realised I was going to be late, so couldn't stay any longer. Enjoyed finding Sir Croaks Alot, though.
Found this cache and rescued from a fate worse than death : a trip to the mainland of Australia. Actually found a large group of frogs that had been surrounding the event at the beltana on Friday night.
Thanks for the frog
Mr Frog jumped out of the pond one day
And found himself in the rain
Said he, "I'll get wet and I might catch a cold."
So he jumped in the pond again.

Made it back to town and ready to move again.
The plane has landed and the frogs jumped into the hire car for a lift back to town.

Out with Jewel eyed croaker and Al Beano
Sir Croaks Alot decided he would like to move inland a bit and see what there is to see.
Found Sir Croaks Alot communing with nature near a river. Will move him inland a bit.
moved at 3.30pm and its with a cache I replaced today.
Hope he does not make too much noise when muggles are about

Left Sir Croaks Alot with a friend waiting for his next ride
Picked up Sit Croaks Alot while walking the dog. Will celebrate New Year's with him before moving him on

Sir Croaks Alot has come to the north west to meet some of his long lost cousins. He is at their ceremonial meeting ground waiting.
After being "beaten to the jump" this morning, we were very pleased to see Sir Croaks Alot being released so quickly. So, after a quick bite at the Taste, we headed off and quickly found this frog. Time to head to the North-West we think. TFTF
Sir Croaks Alot has puffed up his waistcoated chest and is croaking by a lovely little walking/cycling track, with a whole bunch of other frogs nearby.
While wandering around wondering about the accuracy of the coords, a voice calls from a nearby window, and highlights the collection of croakers sitting on the letterbox. Having gathered up the whole lot, I'd better go in search of bathroom fittings (which is why I REALLY left the house (yes really ... frogs had nothing to do with it!)), and then I'll hide them. This little fellow looks more like a disshevelled Toad of Toad Hall, but Sir Croaks Alot seems an appropriate name.
There are 9 frogs available for collection. we are having an open christmas tea, so anybody who wants to collect these frogs please call by and collect and feel free to stay and chat and have bote to eat. after 9pm these will be in the letter box
Grabbed on the way to sisters house for christmas brunch. so a couple of frogs on the way was a must.
Anyway here is my log signature

Hi Tassie Trekkers Seems like he's sat here too long Collected at 1534hrs. Got well and truly muggled. See pics later. Knew exactly where to go as I'd hidden one in the same spot before Cheers OldSaint.

I have a new friend waiting with me green and gold spotted frog.
Dropped this one whilst enjoying a pleasant stroll along the river. (Correct frog and coordinates this time!)
My first find of this frog and a good find it was. He was in close company of two other frogs and jaunting jon. He certainly looks a wise old frog or is that toad.
I will move him on soon

Come find me soon. Placed near the bike track along the waterfront.
Have been hugely busy at work and I didn't want to put it out less than a kilometer from where I found it so.... Tonight I'm doing the work Christmas dinner and I've hidden Sir under a larger bush at GZ.
Should be hidden enough but don't leave him there too long....

Went to check on Sir Croaks in case found and moved logs had been transposed but got sprung by a fellow cacher. Had a good chat about all things froggy. Nice to meet a cacher we had not met before. Apparently Sir Croaks is still in Swampy's car.
After a couple days frogging around Hobart, the south, the northern burbs and the eastern burbs, and Norfick, it was time to head home.
Budgie was supposed to come get this but Sir Croak was still sitting there.
How could I refuse him a ride in my car on this cold wet day?
Will put him out tomorrow somewhere....

Helps when you look on the right side of the fence. Found quickly this time round. Will move ASAP
My had a look too, on my way home from the north. Not hiding under the bushes...

had a quick look for this one today but due to a funeral just coming at the church up the way there were a lot of muggles around so didn't look for to long but no luck. Maybe someone beat me there?
He's rather relaxed and having a siesta in a nice small park area in Pontville. Careful of scratches getting this one....
Had a quick check on the way past after the couple of dnf logs. Pulled the hedge back a little and there he was staring at me rather sullen looking too. He's definitely still there.
Found him after a bit of a climb around and above where our gps kept pointing. He's relaxing with a few comrades before moving on again.
A frog hunting we will go. I don't think he's an Evandale kind if frog!

Got this frog back out there. Thought he looked like an Evandale sort of frog!
