Spied this guy across the table and realised I hadn't seen him before. So I decided I needed to take him for a bit. Thanks for the frog
Hi Tassie Trekkers
Look who I found when I was in South Australia. Went to a cache and he was sitting inside say "Please take me home, Please take me home"
I will release back into the wild in Hobart and hopefully he will be able to hop home at some stage

Picked this little frog up at a the pub lunch but have only just had a chance to move it on. I got off the train at Mawson Lakes and decided i would leave it in an easy yet concealed pick up spot for the next person.
Found this one on a table full of gnomes and frogs at the Adelaide Pub Lunch event.
Found amongst an amazing collection of moving Froggy freinds that hopped onto the table at today's pub lunch! The jumpers were enjoying the wintery Adelaide conditions and looking forward to finding new homes in the South. Thanks to Black Bunny for bringing them down.

Nice to see this little cache lasting beyond the frog race, many have not been so lucky. Found this little guy on a table of frogs and gnomes on a lovely caching lunch. BlackBunny had quite a few of these little critters in his swag.

Found at a table full of recent-arrival interstate amphibians at the "Pub Lunch Mon July 16 - It's Tax Time".
Dropped off to have lunch with some SA Cachers
Heading back to SA for a holiday so decided to offer a lift to a few frogs on the way.
Thanks for the frog

Dropped this froggie with a couple of buddies by the river...
Dropped and collected all at once. Next stop somewhere in NSW.
I've found this frog previously, so will just move along to a new spot - don't look for him here.
GCA 540 - 5279. Found with Sol de Lune this evening. Another Frog captured and released !

And down to be picked up by another a cacher already.
An easy find on a pleasant to grab a bag of frogs up here. Thanks Tassie Trekkers.
Picked this one and others up from their lonely perch, I hope to move them on this weekend. Colorful critter this one.
Dropped with another frog near the tralee trig
GPS was pointing to the centre of a large mass of blackberries. I didnt want to linger too long drectly under the flight path - it makes the security types nervous.So I checked a couple of nearby hiding places but saw no frogs.
Figured I should hide this guy before picking up any more moveables...
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, catching up on the froggy news and sharing the many stories of their adventures over the last few months.
TFTC - and safe travels...

This little guy seems to have been stranded here too long, so decided to swing by and collect him on my way home this afternoon.
I finally had time to go for a walk today and empty my frog collection bag.
A number of frogs (and a gnome or two) arrived very close to my front door so I have collected them all up in my wash basket and will set them free again soon!
My mission ... CATCH FROGS SO I CAN CATCH SWAMPY!! ... This is one of the many that I bagged today
Thanks for the frog Tassie Trekkers

Seeing all these frogs tonight that I haven't seen before.....Frogs don't like scotch thistles so thought we better rescue him while we were out on our frog raid
Found this frog and many others during a frog raid encompassing The Domain, Howrah, South Hobart and Mount Stuart.
In all, 47 frogs and a gnome were recovered and they will be placed out in the bush tomorrow. Maybe we'll take them to Cockle Creek, NO. Strathgordon or the old Hilton Hotel at Adamsfield! YES. They are good places.
PS I hate scotch thistles!!

Come with a shopping bag, come with a trolley as there is an army of frogs to be had in this area. Bring the dog, bring the kids and have fun searching.
Quick find. I must have found the rest of the spiders' webs!
Rated: for Overall Experience
One of several frogs who have hopped up to the Frog's Domain and are now lurking in amongst the spiders' webs (yes, you have to watch where you are walking otherwise you will end up with a face full of arachnid! But don't be afraid: I think they're harmless and, besides, the frogs are friendly and welcoming)
First of a haul for the morning. Quick find (and my first encounter with this one).
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!
Up the hill for a more commanding view (if he hops out from his hiding spot).
I thought I'd found Nanofrog, but after seeing the picture of Hops-a-lot, realised that I'd found and moved him. I think Nanofrog was in teh exact location immediately before. As it turns out, I collected some frogs from Jabs letterbox, and I realise now, that Nano is amongst them. It can get confusing!
He has gone also like Nano before him. Hopefully someone has collected.

I hid this where I was expecting to find NanoFrog. I guess I must have been too late, but I thought it was a nice spot for this guy.
Found on a quick caching run around the Scene of the previous days cache event. Makky brown you should have come into the event at least for five minutes after surrounding the event with frogs. It did make me laugh this morning when I saw the location of them all.
Thank you for the great hides
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.

We have you surrounded. Come out with your gps' on. We know you are in there at the event.
Four frogs went looking for a cache, but it was cold and they didn't find it (because they didn't solve the puzzle), so they huddled together for the night.
I came up to the Waterworks to look for 7 frogs. There was a single male muggle sitting in his car in the middle of the cluster, so I went for the bush ones first.
This guy was easily found with the hint.

We misread the number and thought that we had a different frog, but think things are all sorted now! This is the forg that is hanging out in the tree being watched over by a ringtail and baby!
Tis was another of the party crowd hanging out at the letterbox - until we dragged him away to get on with the business of leapfrogging!
Sorry for the delay in getting this back out and about. You are looking for a little pool of three frogs having some fun together. Three for the price of one!!!!!!
He originally had the GCA code written on the front in marker (I just checked a photo I took when I moved him in early Dec). Has it worn off?
Found this frog at the recent event to celebrate the new year and watch the early fireworks. The number of frogs on the bonnet of JAB's car was amazing.
The frog does not have the GA code on it, I will fix this
Anyway, a new log signature, and one anyone who saw play school as a kid would know.

Logged back out this been my larst for 2011. What year new state new job new caches new friends new choices. Thanks for been part of a great year.
Had this one but had no idea where I had picked him up from. Thanks Budgietas for pointing out who he was/is.
Either I'm blind or some early bird has got this frog. Given that some other nearby frogs were also invisible to my eyes, I suspect the early bird.
A quick find just saying hello to geokid E on his birthday. TFTC and cheers, OldSaint.
Handed to old saint - I had too many to hide!!!!
geo kid e, geo kid o and myself decide it was the boys turn to go for a frog hunt. We were successful though most of the north west and north a few days previously, so a trip south was in order to grab the frogs placed out by Makky Brown
Anyway here is my log signature
Da -Glumpf went the little Green frog one day

Now is this dedication or obsession finding frogs on the way to a Christmas get together. Lovely frog.

We would love to frog all the time but we have this little thing called W.O.R.K to do! um and we like to sleep in!
Ah-ha. Still South. We scooped up Frog on a stick this morning, nervously glancing over our shoulders, expecting to be Trekkered underfoot at any stage.
Please, bring back some lively and energetic frogs!

The Trekkers are down South, coming back Wed hopfully with some different hoppers to jump in the mix
Just noticed that out of the fourteen frogs in the Launceston area, we've hidden eleven of them, we have one in for repair, and the other two are one hop removed from us. Hello; any other Launceston froggers out there?!!
