Prince Charming? Riverside, Tasmania, Australia
By nutwood on 01-Dec-11. Waypoint GA3951

The Prince's travels are over. The only princess he met was far too pale to appeal to him (not to mention on the large side!). He's now retiring to our herb garden to regale the other frogs with stories from Hobart.
Thanks to all who helped him garner his tales.

Many thanks Whitewebbs, and also thanks to ZoobsX4 who I suspect restrained from collecting this cache over the weekend. Typical, I have a computer free weekend and our frog comes home whilst I'm not looking.
The smaller half of nutwood is delighted to have her frog back.

Back up north, nearly home

Thanks whitewebbs. We'd be most grateful if you could help our prince hop in the general direction of home.

Found the Prince enjoying the view. Post a note if you want him to head home as we will be heading that way next weekend.

I thought this area looked like a nice throne for a prince.

I came looking for a frog that I hadn't found until today, but bagged this one as well.

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!

ready to be moved on

My mission ... CATCH FROGS SO I CAN CATCH SWAMPY!! ... This is one of the many that I bagged today and luckily I looked on the other side
Thanks for the frog nutwood

Assuming Prince Charming? is still hiding by the LH side post, please could any finders hop him on his way north? We would like to retire him but it'd be nice if he could hop his way home.

Probably couldn't find it on the RH side because Prince Charming is hiding on the LH side going in

Had a good hunt around the gate post on RH side going in but lots of muggles around in nearby houses so didn't expand the search.

At the start of the trail to the frog party

Found on a 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.

Back out

hop along now

love this fellow

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. Will keep a watchful eye on Prince Charming and his Princess.

Has Prince Charming found his Princes5? You will certainly find them hiding together. The only way you will know what has happened is to go and look for them. The hiding place is big enough for him to turn into a handsome prince; it all depends on whether Princes5 can manage that kiss. (Thanks to a junior JABs for suggesting I hide them together). One of a whole bunch of frogs in close proximity on the Frog's Domain.

Not at all, although it'll make him harder to hide. Just don't tell the media!

I think I have found a Princes5 for Prince Charming. Will it ruin the frog race if he DOES turn into a handsome prince?

Back out

A little collection

Out enjoying the view.

Quick find. I love this Prince Charming

Prince Charming awaits his princess again.

I will concede that he IS quite charming. However, I was not going to test my princess powers by bestowing a kiss upon him. A frog he remains; I'll find another place for him to wait his princess.

Very nice frog and one of my favourites!

Still with his two friends Frog a Log and Frog on a Stick. Placed at the base of the large tree on Mt Wellington side, wiht bark and leaves etc. I did the reading too quickly and I think the coords could be a bit off - that's why I've put in the specific directions. Sorry about that. Good luck.

Cute one. Will move nearby.

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!!!!!!

Was in Launceston on work and decided to drive back via the east coast to visit my parents. Collected this frog on the way.

Anyway, a new log signature, and one anyone who saw play school as a kid would know.

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.

Prince Charming is now the Prince of Rocks and Trains.
Don't get run over crossing the tracks, and more importantly, don't park on the tracks...

Found this frog far from where it was placed. It (apparently) hopped into a bag and was put into the NTrailTB and transported to Launceston where it has been partying and seeing in the New Year in comfort at a swank motel room. These partying frogs were given a choice of wine or beer or mixed spirits.....
Once they recover, we will put them back out.

This is a cool little frog with his own hidey hole to keep out of the sun.

If you look with caching eyes this one glows like a neon sign. To the mere muggle he is just another piece of nature.

Grabbed this very unique frog

back out

geo kid a, geo kid i and myself left at 5.21 on a frog raid to north west, and north tasmania. our goal was simple, to liberate the frogs from this region and bring them to civilisation

we were successful though most of the north west, only missing a few frogs that had been captured by local cachers on the previous day.

In all we liberated over 25 frogs back to below the border - or at least the imaginary mason dixon line.......

all frogs will be released back to the wild tomorrow.

Anyway here is my log signature

Da -Glumpf went the little Green frog one day
Da- Glumpf went the little Green frog
Da -Glumpf went the little Green frog one day

But we all know frogs go "La de da de da"

We all know frogs go "La de da de da"
They don't go glumpf glumpf glumpf

We meet again for a short fleeting moment

One of the CEyres favourite spots while walking home from school! This place charms them with the nearby rope swing that they play on so often in the afternoon. Hidden by LEyre while the other Eyrettes took turns in making Prince Charming giddy on the swing.

Found in a beautiful location, oh why did I drop my work camera into a muddy puddle yesterday. No photos of the GZ which is sad, this location deserves a permanent cache.
Very cute cache, my daughters ooohed and ahhed over the hidden surprise and are now bickering over where to hide it.

Left Prince Charming somewhere where he could meet some of his froggy friends

Picked up Prince Charming while walking the geo-mutt

It is time for Prince Charming to rejoin the race. He is out there again ready to go.

Picked up on a frog raid south from the North West. Great cache - very interesting. TFTF

Back out

Went for a little drive collecting frogs, anyway ended up driving to Claremont, Austin's ferry, cornelian bay and Howrah to find a few. Found all but one that I was looking for and managed a ftf on the way. Thank you to every body that has placed te frogs out. I should have them back out in the morning.

I'm now in the company of four other croakers at a geo frogging event on the Domain. Cheer OldSaint.

Hi Nutwood
Woke oh so early this morning but didn't have to go to work as usual; so got up, checked the internet and this and other croakers were still in place.
Quickly dressed and into the cache mobile and headed for Kettering.
Bloody foggy most of the way.
Went to put the co-ords into the GPS but couldn't find the book in which they had been scribed. Tried the phone, no service!!!
Found the book and the trip was on again.
Ground zero and a walk up the path. Found the tree, but no frog. Better search revealed a small foreign object that I was not expecting. Great Cache and container - a real beauty!
Gave it a kiss, but I turned into a toad. Kissed it again and BINGO, back to me again!! Poor world, eh!
Thanks Makky for a great hide and some early morning fun!
Nutwood, thanks for some early morning exercise and fun; cache found at 0537hrs.
To you and yours; A MERRY CHRISTMAS and a safe, HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Cheers OldSaint.

This is such a great idea. Left it along the track, if you are in view of the blue house you've gone to far

Back put again. Near a stream

I was driving back from dropping geo kid o to school after an appointment. Anyway I had to drop a few frogs on the way back.

I thought I need to find one as well, so this one was not far off my route, so a quick detour and success. The frog was well hidden, not only by the surrounds, but also the nature camo of the frog.

Great little friend, that will be easily to find next time.

Thanks for the frog

What a great frog comes in its own hide.

Good point CP. Should have occurred to me. I based one frog on a TV series. I could have done another.
I've been trying to remember if frogs played much part in that series. Lot's of demons in various forms but were any of them frogs?

This little chap reminded me of the legend of King Monkey. Anyone who was a child of the 80's is now nodding their head as the penny drops

TFTF

Back on the move!

Didn't see this fellow on the first look. What a great cache and very cool prince charming as well.

Out and about in City Park

Came back at a reasonable hour and nearly had a DNF again, as Prince Charming is well cammoed. Claim a FTF at 8.30 am. A nice suprise awaiting the finder. Thanks Nutwood a very nice cache TFTF

Sorry TT, as per Matte. Due to incompetence on frog owners part Prince Charming will be available from 8am onwards. Profound apologies!!

Went for an early morning search around 12.30am came away empty handed.
