Having taken Cadbury home on the understanding that he will only eat the chocolate that is given to him. Thanks to everyone who helped him on his journey

Back Out with Frognome:frog

Trekkered

Rated: for Overall Experience

I found myself with some time after work and was pleased to discover a few caches on the way into town.

When I got back to my car I was surprised to find the Tassie Trekkers waiting... Didn't we do this just a couple weeks ago?

Dropped off again still fairly close to home.

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!

ready to move on

My mission ... CATCH FROGS SO I CAN CATCH SWAMPY!! ... This is one of the many that I bagged today

Got too tired and couldn't hop any further so decided to give the party a miss

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.

home sweet home

has been a while

Come with a shopping bag, as there is a small army of frogs to be had in this area. Bring the dog, bring the kids and have fun searching.

Easy find once we had worked the way to access from signal station but found a quicker way out. TFTF.

With other frogs at GrannySwamps

This frog also jumped into the back of my van with a couple of others and will be relocated to a water hole soon.

This frog attended the dragonology picnic party event held by swampy the dragon watcher. An enjoyable day was held by all and swampy took the frogs away to feed his dragon a home?

Found this frog on a trip back from Launceston to Hobart. I will relocate back to Hobart, most likely on the domain.

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.

Found Cadbury another bridge. Interesting bridge and associated works. I've never climbed down to have a look before. Safest approach would be from Hobart Rd.

This one gave me an interesting hunt. GZ was a bridge, the description was a "cool, dark spot" and the hint was "under". Only problem was that the side of the bridge the GPS fancied was fenced off to form part of the grounds of the adjacent house. Hmmm!
After much investigation of anything for a 30 m radius that could possibly have an "under" and an investigation of the other side of the bridge (ploughing through waist deep blackberries did inspire the thought that I should have left this one for Duripper and DGT )I eventually gave in to temptation and climbed over the fence to make an easy find under the bridge. Bit embarrassing as I hate people climbing our fences.

He was gbetting too fat with all the chocolate so I have placed him in a cool dark spot, where hopefully he will go back to a more suitable diet for a frog.

Picked up from Goldj, they are both getting quite thin with no chocolate.

Had to move him on quickly - he started eating all our chocolate. He had to go

Picked up at the New Year's Eve event and will move on tomorrow.

Can't wait to see the fire works. Be here at 8pm

my early morning raid across the river

Hitched a ride into town, got kicked out of car due to jibbering on too much..
Jumped up a tree.

hitched a ride into town.

Oh my. Talk about a moaner. All this frog did was complain about the lack of chocolate. It appears no one has been feeding him any chocolate and boy did we hear about it. On and on he moaned and groaned.

Well we fixed him! The biggest chocolate factory we could find! It seems fairly quiet at the moment but keep any eye on the news. There may be a breaking news story about a dinosaur defending the chocolate factory from a marauding frog!

Grabbed to move on

Back out

Found under my mail box

Off to join the party.

have taken out for lunch.

This frog is certainly a handful! He can smell chocolate from miles away. He cannot be trusted, even if you can see him!! When you meet this guy, remember to keep your chocolate stash safe!

Ick! Cadbury frog was very happy to get out of that bush. He had to share it with what looked like most of a rubbish tip. Having a rest and destress now.

Back out

Found on an early morning cache run, before whitewebs grabbed on there morning caching run or work run

Good thing I came back as no foliage over cadbury due to the pruning.

Drove past GZ at 0800 to find the gardener trimming the hedge I hope froggy was concealed well as hedge looking pretty bald! Will check another time.

Has gone to visit the govenor almost *concealed entrances*

Quick find at GZ. I sort of get the feeling I have seen this frogs twin somewhere...... Will move ASAP

Such a good hide here Makky; thought I'd use it too!!

Hi Chocolate_ali
Went to the first hide, but it had gone. Drove a little further down the road to the next hide by Gorbak and their was Cadbury Frog.
Found at 1605hrs.
Merry Christmas to you and yours; a Happy and Safe New Year too!
TFTC and cheers; OldSaint.

Just a short, but very quick, hop this time...

I'm not sure if this frog's colouring is an infringement of Cadbury purple, but a nice frog nonetheless.

Cadbury and Croaker decide that they enjoyed being flatmates, and are continuing to hang out together. They have kicked Horace out and he is off travelling somewhere . . .

Found Cadbury and Horace hiding out together. They were all out of chocolate and ready to move on!

Sharing chocolate with Horace who doesn't really need it.

All left by the weekend will head to Launcestion.

Ok we got this fellow when it decided to pour with rain so here we stood under a few trees laughing at what we where doing.

Back out

Hello again in the company of Kirby the frog have to keep an eye on those two.

I went for a walk along the bike path with 6 froggies in tow. When I got to the end the froggies were all gone...

Split up the party...

A group of frogs (and another movable cache) have gathered to discuss the latest in cache movements and hiding positions.

Arrived at gz thinking I was searching for freddo. Anyway thought I have no chance in the bush looking for a nano (that freddo is). As it started to rain, thunder and lighting I saw something strange. A frog - but not freddo. Oh, the light bulb lit and I worked out I wasn't looking for freddo. The frog was relatively easy to find.

Cadbury asked to be taken to the place he described as 'Heaven' - so this is where I left him.

This feels somewhat familiar.....

I found Cadbury here a couple of days ago, and now he's back. Obviously Anvers appeals - even if it's not cadbury chocolate.

Will drop him off tonight or tomorrow to continue his quest to find the ultimate chocolate stash!

moved to a location in keeping with his name

grabbed it at 7.20

Welcome to the North West Coast

Lets eat chocolate!

Time to move on, hiding out off the Zig Zag track

Very nice frog will have to keep our eye on him as not sharing any chocolate with him. We need all the strength we can get to find more frogs. Topped him up with a glass and a half of milk though so ready for his next adventure.

Feeling a little foolish now
Searched high and low to no avail. I wonder if I've been beaten to the punch?

to add insult to injury I was in this very spot last night without realising this was here

Bit of a cannibal this one. Polished off a chocolate frog (after checking the brand) and is now resting near the Supply River. The mill was a bit muggly so we went a little further and popped him on top of the old dam wall.

Just down the road, how could we resist! What a great frog. Offered him some Lindt but it got rejected. Seems to be a loyal company frog!
We'll get him back out there this afternoon

Cadbury Frog ate my years supply of chocolate overnight! Had to drop him off before he demanded some more.

Asked him where he wanted to go - and he said somewhere famous. I suggested the Batman Bridge, but he said that wasn't famous enough. "How about a tree that the StigGnome hid in last year?" I suggested.

Sure enough - apparently the SigGnome is a bit of a hero to frogs as well.

You'll find Cadbury sitting in a tree - so look up!

Called in to meet this guy, but couldn't find him. Managed to coax him out with a piece of chocolate though. Where to next on your adventure mate?

The one saving grace for those mean Y's Tassies is they left me here at Anvers - wouldn't take me in to the tasting room to try the fudge and truffles though. I hope the next group to collect me buy me some vanilla fudge before they pick me up. I dont mind raspberries and cheese but cadbury chocolate is best.

Keep going says the cricket fanatic and after a short hunt out from behind a fence comes a very grumpy frog complaining that his owner turfed him out because he beat her to the chocolate. "And don't expect me to come with you if you don't have chocolate" Needless to say we promised chocolate (might only be the cooking type but he doesn't know that yet). Another FTF. A great frog Chocolate - Ali proving Chicken Feed does come up with the goods. Progressive Frog Bowling figures 3-0-9-2.
