Description
Hi! I'm Oggie the Boggle-eyed Froggie. Some people think I am a real cutie - despite my eyes being far too big for my head.
I am known to have a competitive and adventerous spirit and am very excited to be competing in the Leap Frog cache race (1st December 2011 to 31st January 2012).
I'd love to travel far and wide and do so very quickly! I'd very much love to outrace other local frogs.
I like small swaps and have a log book for you to sign. You are welcome to take a photo of me and put it up on the website so that others may see what I have been up to.

Oops. It looks like this cache has had incorrect coordinates entered during an Admin Review.
Perhaps a geocacher might find it here... S35° 13.368' E149° 8.150'
We'll keep an eye on it to see if it gets found otherwise we'll archive it in a few months.

From reading the logs I think Oggie is here S35° 13.368' E149° 8.150' The wrong coords are in the geocaching Australia log. He is not at Mt Fairy as we checked every guard rail.
As part of Geocaching Australia's effort to keep the database uncluttered we periodically check moveable caches that have not been moved for at least 90 days. Although some caches may remain in one spot for an extended period it would be great to see them moving around the countryside.
If you're in the area how about picking up this moveable cache and helping it on it's journey.

I have just discovered I made an error logging and moving this movable. I didn't look at the number and make sure I had the correct movable and cache page I just clicked on it and logged. I didn't twig with the incorrect name Stupidly assuming this is what the CO wanted. Don't know where my head was. I would delete the logs but I have entered this into the States game. Sorry!!
Also, I didn't see this movable at GZ, it could still be nearby and I was unaware as I thought only one movable was here. LONG STORY.

Found on my doorstep tonight when I arrived home. Thanks for the chance to find.
We were biting at the bit for an open-air adventure, sick of the four walls, so we went for a run to Goulburn and out to Lake Bathurst and Tarago for some caches. While passing I found this movable. Thanks for the moveable.
Back out again, Hopefully it will attack some attention out here!
I grabbed the tree frog and now he is off to the ACT or maybe just across the border somewhere
In Shepparton picking up daughter and I had a couple of moveables to drop off. The frog jumped out of the car while I was looking for another GA cache in the area. Was Oggie the Boggled eyed Frog a tree frog??
only time to find one moveable in this sea of moveables before work. I'm sure the man walking his dog wondered why a lady dressed up in a bright red Christmas dress was climbing through a fence - it was the quickest way and I only had time for a park and run. Took the frog and left some teeth. TFTc

Now in Alexandra and time to find a new home. Would only like to be here for a very short time before being found and moved on.
I hope some one will take me on the weekend of the mega here in town and take me on a journey.

No longer at the posted Co Ordinates. Will take this one south with us and place it in a good spot.
Day 4 of our journey to Alexandra. Left Nanango Qld on Monday and stayed overnight in Moree. Left Moree early on Tuesday arrived in Dubbo Wednesday and now it is Thursday and we are staying in Dubbo till Friday. Next on the list and parked on the side road and walked to this one after finding another one close by. This one needed a new log book so I took care of that little task. TFTC Whit's Wanderers.

Three frogs have been living in my front yard for a while. I thought they would go for a hop over to the NT some time ago, but no. So today I decided to give them a new and much more frog friendly home in the bush. All three frogs live close to each other but have their own homes.
To get to the frogs safely you should probably put the coordinates in your driving map device or app and let it direct you so you don't miss the turn or cause traffic trouble. Please pass and turn around somewhere safely if you need to.

I love this frog! Oggie is so cute!
Cool cache. Ordinary location so easy to pick up if on way through to Alice.
Oggie is hanging out with a few friends as they sit in hope of a trip to the centre of Australia or just somewhere else.

Had to visit the big smoke this week. Paused at this interesting cemetery to check it out and find a few Aussie caches. picked up this one and a few buddies for a trip out west.
While in the area dropped this one into a spot I claimed another one from. In the process a small huntsman was watching what I was doing. It may go back in then again it may move on. Good luck on your trip
Bumped into him again. Discovered at the Coffee, Cakes and Conundrums #6 event.
Thanks for sharing.

Moved to the dual events of [GA9547 Steak Sauce & Solving Night] and [GC6WW6P Coffee, Cakes and Conundrums #6] for some move fun at the puzzle solving night. By the end of the night the moveable ...had moved on.
Well today was a day of firsts;- First reverse geocache, First podcache, FTF on a touchable GA cache!
I was driving out mainly to have a go at the reverse cache & gave Lucky1955 a ring to see if he wanted to come too. He did!
Met a few moveables at the winery too.

Found Oggie the boggle eyed Froggie as I was leaving Wilberforce didn't spot it straight away but soon had Oggie with me to spend Christmas together with a few others it a hastily arranged party. Once they have finished partying will move on. Thanks for the moveable whit's wanderers
Oggie came out west for a few caches and thought it would be nice to wait here for some local passing cachers
Oggie will nicely fit my scavenge for a difficulty 1 or 1.5 and he's so pretty

Picked a place close to Rickaby's creek and Hawkesbury river. Froggie should feel right at home.
When I realised this had been dropped where the GC CITO had been I waited until today to get it as a find on ANZAC day. A benefit only living a short distance away. I have in mind a nice place to re-hide in the next day or so.

Another one I grabbed in Melbourne now dropped off. This little froggy is now enjoying a location adjacent to the desalination plant out near Kurnell. If you're in the area, check the end of the guard rail and Oggie will be your friend....

A quick pickup on the way home from work. He'll be safe with me until the swap meet in July.
Embarressingly for me I've had this in my possession for too long.
I over looked it in the bottom of a bag I took caching one day.

Out for a lunchtime walk dropping a few caches I've had for a little while. After being over 18 months at it's last stop I'd be surprised if it lasts more than a week or two here with the new dragonzone game going. Happy trails Oggie.
Thanks whit's wanderers.

I was grabbing a new GC cache about 20m away so decided to grab Oggie and actually move him on. I know it's a nice place down here but 18 months is far too long for a movable cache to be on one spot.

Yesterday mainly involved finding fun hides to entertain the little one... today was all about about solo effort, so I thought I'd do a few multis, and a puzzle that had recently been refreshed.
While wandering down the trail from Chelsworth Park, past the golf course to a multi further down the muddy pathway, I ducked in to find Oggie. He looked so comfortable there, that I decided to leave him to enjoy his hiding spot for a while longer.

Spotted this one at 18:35 while on the way home from work this evening. It was fairly gloomy by the time I arrived at GZ but the lights of the bike and the O3 soon had me with the stash in hand . Oggie was enjoying the comings and goings on the nearby golf course so I left him in place.

Dropped off Oggie yesterday while on a walk not too far from the Yarra. The kids were playing in the trees and I spotted this perfect hiding place not too far from the parking area.
Good luck little frog and happy travels.

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.

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!
