Description
I am a frog who entered the Leap Frog race held during December & January.
Pobblebonk is my scientific name. My common name is the Four Bob frog. I like both names.
The race is run & prizes have been awarded. I travelled far & wide & am thankful to all who helped me along the way, particularly Black Bunny. Now I'm reverting to a classic moveable. If you wish to find & move me that's fine. My owner will monitor my progress & decide my future.

Logs
This cache looks like it's MIA so we'll archive it to stop it turning up in the lists. If it's found again the owner can log an "unarchived" log against it to resurrect it.
Couldn't find hide nor hair of this cache today. All the green is now brown and while we searched every nook and cranny possible, there was nothing home in any of them, It may have been a bad caching day, or maybe it's no longer there.
After over 12 months in an out of the way forest area Pobblebonk is back in civilization awaiting collection
On an early afternoon walk on this part of the Heysen Trail we found this little grren frog hidden inthe fork of a tree covered by a small rock. He was damp, mouldy and cold after over 12 months in this location. We will take him on a journey, clean him up and warm him up before putting him out again. We thoroughly enjoyed our short walk in this area and fully intend to return to this beautiful area.
Pobblebonk has hopped up to Horsnell Gully Conservation Park and is residing along the Heysen Trail.
After eleven months, Pobblebonk has been rescued. We will move him on, but unfortunately, South Australia seems a bit of a dead end for moveable GCA caches.
Thanks tuena.
Thanks tuena.
Moved to a high location with a view
Found Pobblebonk hiding in a cache while on the way to the Port Elliot Seaside Event. I think he's suffered some sort of accident as there is no logbook attached, just himself and a couple of missing toes. A good think he has the GA number printed on him. Pobblebonk visited the sea and now I'll find a new place to hide.
Thought it was time to take the little fella to the country for a drive. Bye Pobblebonk!
I love this frogs name. Pobblebonk is now resting in the Lillie's at the front of somebodies suburban garden. Geocachers live and next door there so don't worry about being seen.
Walkin Walkin said she wouldnt mind taking Pobblebonk for a ride so she grabbed it and will no doubt move it on soon.
Saw some dude grab the little fella and mutter something under his breathe about exterminating frogs. I know where he lives and will chase him up! Croak!
Didnt get a chance to move this little guy too far, but there is a cachers dinner in the city tonight, so I am hoping it is picked up fairly quickly in its CBD location......
Rather obviously close to the other two frogs I left at the west end brewery Christmas display, but this one is magnetic, so he went to get a closer look at the lights. Right next to a trad GC that I didn't have time to find....
Edited log to get the coordinates correct!

Pobblebonk was the easier of the two at this spot. (Ribbit gave me heaps of trouble.) I found it really quickly, tucked inside the guard rail. Nearly gave it up, but looked a long way inside the spider-ridden niche.
I saw an echidna on the way here too, it rather surprised me.

Dropped on my way home. Tho think its already gone Good luck
Found but didn't move it. Only just learning about these moveable cache's didn't want to do the wrong thing so still in the same hidey hole.

We didn't realise a frog was here but we were in the area re-homing other frogs and grabbing a GC cache. On his way to a new location now.
Was popping over to collect another frog and just missed it. However the finder was hovering with intent so I asked if he was collecting or dropping - just so happened that Pobblebonk had just been dropped off so I grabbed him.
Pobblebonks are my favourite frogs - they sound so funny!
TFTF
PS: sadly his arm broke off in my bag so instead of releasing him to the wild on the way home, I'll have to take him home to fix, sorry about that!
