Description

Competitor in the Leapfrog Race

 A moveable cache.

Placed as part of the Leapfrog game from December 1 2011 to January 31 2012. After this time please just keep it moving.

Hi my name is Galoomph. There are four of these caches in our series, this one (Galoomph) has been placed by my 13yr old daughter (others placed by my son, wife and me). She hopes to see it travel further than the others and be photographed in as many places as possible.

Hope you enjoy looking for this one, can't wait to see the photos of his escapaeds.

P.S I like being near water, preferably with the green theme (either place name, street, or just a green location).

Had intended to head down the coast early but strong Nor Westers delayed my departure. Then at eleven the winds stopped so I headed off. Found this plus four others, for a 300Ks round trip. The winds picked up on the way back but from the South West. Insufficient rain though to wash the UAV.

was going to save this little fellow but gave up. left a friend nearby, so future finders can have two!

Found 'Galoomph' with a number of his Mates waiting for a lift to Canberra, let's hope it will be a smooth and painless !operation. Quite the gathering there all those Frogs do get a bit vocal when competing for attention.

I headed off this evening to meet Galoomph and there was still plenty of light. As I arrived at GZ, my heart sank as there were heaps of really spikey clumps all along the path. So I searched...and searched. Then the light faded and I searched a bit more. Then it got quite dark and I used the "light" from the gps to search some more. I looked under every spikey clump for quite a distance along the path and got spiked by most of the clumps. Evil or Very Mad As I was just about to give up, somehow I looked into the middle of a spikey clump and there he was Rolling Eyes Some with me young Galoomph!

Found this frog at the ZEAMMAFF event. Cheers.
 
03-Jan-12
This (and his matching couterpart) was one of many frogs (as well as a few gnomes) that came along to boot Zalgariath back to Europe at ZEAMMAFF. Things were really hopping as more and more frogs arrived during the afternoon, by the time the event had finished, over 55 movables had hopped onto the table. Of course, with that many frogs hopping around in one place, something was bound to happen, and one poor gnome was bumped to the ground, requiring a trip to gnome hospital and a serious stay there, but the less said about that the better.

'Galoomph' has moved to historic Bowenfels not far from the old railway station (now disused). He did express an interest in this sort of thing with some of his mates, they had a great all night party before being picked up.
 
14-Dec-11
'Galoomph - Leapfrog' was trying very hard not to be seen, but I knew where to look and he gave up quietly and decided that a train trip up the mountains was not that bad after all.

Galoomph came for a walk in Parramatta Park to meet some other frogs. When we got to Brains, he was so frightened that he ran off into the bushes and wouldn't some out.

Found this fella out in the open at Bilfrost and I was worried he might get swooped on by an owl.

Will move him along to a less populated place:)
 
08-Dec-11
Looking at GCA website.. I realised that I found this frog at the Bifrost site. At that time thinking it was actually THE Bifrost Very Happy
As this was our very first GCA find it's worth logging, even if it happened way back.

Galoomph liked the look of the pond here so he's hiding under the bridge. Be aware he is NOT the GC.com cache 'Bifrost' http://coord.info/GC38N6K
He's behind the post at the start of the bridge. While your there see if you can find Bifrost! Good luck.

Another bit of greenery provided by the local daisy bush and a fair bit of wandering dew Cool
 
06-Dec-11
Galoomph was certainly amongst the greenery when I found him. He sure blends in well!! I take him along for a ride and see where he'd like to stop off.

Dropped off on my way to the station this morning. Not the original frog swap location, but a more secluded one since this frog is a bit bigger than many racing.
 
04-Dec-11
Grabbed on my way back to Perth from Bunbury. Time for this fella to test out the strength of his hopping legs and see how far he really can go.

Frog raid #8.
After leaping around the far north I returned to the home territory as there had been reports of frogs this side of the river.

Thanks for the cache.

Galoomph leapt from my grasp as I was entering this park, I was heading towards the water for him but he heard the cheerful calling of relatives and off he went to hide in the trees. Good luck into frog. Smile
