Froggie is a moveable cache, so just take me and relocate me in a new location. Just remember to take note of the new coords. Then log me.

Wow, I have just seen this Archived cache.
Great chance to catch up during COVID-19.

Froggie has made it home, he is one of the lucky few. He has found himself a special place under a tree in the garden. He is done with his travels.

13-Apr-13
Oh Froggie..... you've come home. After a years hiatus in WA,Froggie has found his way home. Froggie sends out a big thank you to Fluffyfish who found it in his heart to help this little amphibian find a way back across the parched lands to the East coast. Froggie was picked up this morning and is now resting up nicely in his permanent home. He has already picked out a sunny spot in the garden where he will spend the rest of his days being admired by passers by.

Oh thanks so much. Froggie is coming home:-)

Mission accomplished. Knew I was returning to NSW soon so was keen to help the owner. Froggie has been grabbed and will return to NSW in a few weeks. Hopefully I can drop it close enough for Trondor to grab.

Sorry akkatracker, I didn't realise you were chasing this one until just now. SpatialRiq has picked up Froggie, but I have asked him if he can drop it off near the airport, so hopefully you will be able to pick him up on your way home.

Dropped off this big froggie close to home. I'm sure he won't be hanging around for too long. Safe travels!
 
08-Jan-13
Well we gave it our best, pulled up the description down the erst coast drive and found that it had been moved.Jim
 
07-Jan-13
Stopped by the iluvtrekking home to grab this one, and found Mr. iluvtrekking out the front, so he brought it over for me. I will get this one back out in the wild very soon.

Thanks for the cache tronador!

Gotcha!
 
25-Dec-12
Froggie would love to come home. If anyone is out in this area and is planning a trip out east, please collect my frog and bring him home. Even a trip up to Perth, may be good where he may find more suitable means of transport across the country.

Froggie spent too long in NSW and not exploring the world. It's time for him to head west and see what the rest of Australia holds for a large frog. While he's not near water he is investigating the different bushland over here.
 
30-Mar-12
This was my first frog find of the frog race, but despite lots of moves he never really clocked up a huge amount of distance. He's been sitting quietly in the park for 3 months taking it a bit too easy, so I figure it's time to get a big move in to make up for the short distances during the race.
 
30-Jan-12
Moved 85.47km
'Froggie' decided that to go back to town was the thing to do and add a bit of mileage to his tally. He hopes that somebody will move him tomorrow to get at least one more move.
 
29-Jan-12

Great to see Froggie once again, way up in the Blue Mountains, near Clwydd!

I wonder if he'll be my final Leap Frog logging, at least during the big race.

We shall see . . .

Bon voyage, Froggie!
 
28-Jan-12
After almost a week I finally got a break in the weather for a couple hours walk to pick up this unfortunate Froggie. He was nice and dry but very lonely and happy to see me.
He will be on his way to Sydney very soon.

Dropped off whilst we are doing blue mountains power trail
 
15-Jan-12
Grabbed a few frogs this morning and combined with a walk with wife and geodog along Chapman / Coleman ridge.
oh your a big fella just as well I got my backback with me.
 
13-Jan-12
Moved 2.13km
In the process of dropping this chap off, I took a photo of the location before hiding him. Before I could place him I had to head back to the track to help FFP control the dogs as an off lead dog approached. Okay in the end but..... Evil or Very Mad

GCA 306 - 4560. Another Frog crossed off the list !

TFTC !!
 
12-Jan-12
485. One of the closest ever to my front door. Ah, that's the way to go. Seeing as Froggie is sitting in a cluster of other frogs I think I'll take him up Cooleman Ridge tomorrow and create a frog trail (it's like a snail trail but a bit quicker).

TFTF and the Pierre.

Up in Sydney with some Frogs who were keen to see the Oldest Australian cache site (and decided to stay) when we noticed a bunch of frogs on the way out of Lane Cove. they were tired and decided to do the BMPT with us before hitching a ride south to visit the ACT.

Thanks for the Frog Tronador

Froggie met lots of his mates and they decided to all go and visit the oldest cache in Australia so I dropped them off here. I last saw them heading off into the park for a nice bush-hop down towards the river and some good views
 
03-Jan-12
Froggie was pretty useful at the event as a paperweight so I promised him I'd find him a nice spot for a rest and took him home for the night
 
03-Jan-12
Bumped into this little guy at the ZEAMMAFF Event, havent seen him since caching corner capers, nice to see him again

Ribbit Part of the Froggy Honour Guard that can to see me off at my ZEAMMAFF Event! Ribbit

This bouncy guy was one of the early arrivals and thus the second frog I signed today!

I was so happy to see more than 50 Frogs & Gnomes show up for the farewell! I logged as many as I could as I wont see them again before the end of the race. Thanks to everyone who came, human, amphibian and Gnome Very Happy

A great time was had by all and it took over an hour to sort and sign all the caches who Blossom* made sure found a good safe home Very Happy

Cheers, and see you in 6 months!

Thanks to Tronador for 'Froggie' and to Zal for making it all happen!

Found this frog again at the ZEAMMAFF event. Cheers.
 
03-Jan-12
This 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.
 
03-Jan-12
frogs and gnomes everywhere!!!

Off to the Frog event!
 
02-Jan-12
Froggie has spent a very lonely Xmas here so today I finally got a new year's frog. As all frogs appear to have formed into an army south of the Parramatta River Froggie will probably join them at the event tomorrow. Flo Frog will also come along having picked her up at Dural.

Froggie's log was rather damp due to the ziplock bag not being closed so am drying it out in the hot sun now.

Froggie took up residence in my sunroom in front of the TV for the night Shocked Bit of a strange pastime for a frog i thought! Ribbit

Hi Froggie! After missing out on finding this one yesterday, I was quick enough to grab him after dinner tonight instead!
 
22-Dec-11
Moved 8.62km
After having an enema to remove all the dead leaves and rubbish from his immersion at the last stop, and drying the log out he's back in action near the train line which seems to be a popular spot. He's watching proceedings from the base of a three trunked paperbark.
 
21-Dec-11
Found him but full of water. Obviously the flood level from the storms the other night got higher than this. Lucky he is a heavy one as the other left here seems to have washed away.

Dropped these 2 frogs next to a creek in Parramatta Park.
 
18-Dec-11
An easy find after a spot of shopping at Penrith. Thanks
 
17-Dec-11
We weren't very confident that this frog would still be waiting when we went looking late on Saturday afternoon, but he turned out to be another quick find for bikerbuddy.

Moved this Frog in the morning on my lunch break. Moved this nearby the Mamre Homestead.

Froggie stopped for a drink with some buddies at Kellyville and left with someone else.
 
06-Dec-11
I discovered the aptly named 'Froggie' on the table at the 'Caching Corner Capers' event and was pleased to meet him.

No doubt his 'move' will be sorted out in due course!

Bon voyage, Froggie!
 
06-Dec-11
Found him at Caching Corner Capers event
 
05-Dec-11
Driving past with a couple of croakers and this one hopped in with them.

Moved 11.92km
After sityting in my car for a day and a half it was time to go. He was fed at lunch an then hopped out of the car into a frog place. A nice rock.
 
02-Dec-11
Found him hiding under a rock. Grabbed him to move on.
 
01-Dec-11
Moved 13.17km
After grabbing this one this morning, time to get him back out in the wild quickly. Seeing as most frogs are green it was time to recycle a gnome hide from last year that proved reasonably succesful. Hope he gets found soon!
 
01-Dec-11
*FTF* Found on the way to Greenacre for the first job of the day. My first frog! Thanks.
