Leap Frog Squeaky Meelon, Western Australia, Australia
By Julz76 on 01-Dec-11. Waypoint GA3962

This cache appears to be MIA so we'll archive it to stop it turning up in the search lists. If the owner can confirm it's in place the listing can be activated by placing an unarchived log against it.

The bridge has been rebuilt, so thought perhaps I should swing by and check on our friend. Unfortunately he has gone!
Whilst placed up a hill next to residential property fence, who'd thought an engineer might one day come up here to install a minor survey point, let alone replace an entire bridge!!

Bridge is under construction, due open late 2016
Have not verified if Squeaky's still sitting where I left him.

I couldn't get near GZ as the road is closed and the bridge is gone.
Hope the cache survives.

This now has a nice view over the river & bridge.
Recommend hiking boots is a little muddy & slippery (winter)

Found the cache quickly. picked it up and will relocate shortly.

My understanding is that the competition is over so I'm only logging a find - I'm not moving it along. It's a good location , providing a safe stopping point off the highway, as well as reasonable privacy from muggles. TN-LN-SL. Thanks to Julz76 for the cache.

Dropped off on my way out of Perth

I was about to head out to the hardware store when I noticed that Rogue had been through and dropped off a couple of moveables that I hadn't had before so I made a brief diversion on my way to pick them up. I was trying to surreptitiously recover the cache when 'squeeek' - so much for being sneaky. TFTC.

Dropped off the squeaky one on a nice walk around the river. Safe travels

I picked up the squeaky frog and will move him on to a new location very soon. He really is very squeaky...

Thanks for the cache.

Dropped him off for others to find

Snaffled
Took this one and left another
A very big thank you to Nutwood for leaving us some new caches to chase

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found time on a recent trip to leave a trail of moveables. The advantage of moving West for a few days is that it's very easy to get up earlier than the locals. The downside to this is that when I hid these caches the traffic was very mild. Extreme care will be needed under busier conditions.
Once again, no trampling required. Jump into the circle and hunt from the inside.

Discovered this cache some distance from GZ whilst looking for GA3732.
He/she is suffering from a tongue affliction but still seems in good squeaking form.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Checked the hide while in the area today - none of the three moveables I hid are there. Covering bark still in place, so not animals.

Back out.

Collected

This cache "croaker" is hidden in a very guarded situation with two other caches!

Hi Julz67
Got this one by default tonight!
Mr red tag dropped it in my pocket as I was leaving the event "Haunted by Trivia" tonight.
Will have him back out in the field ASAP
Cheers OldSaint.

Crossed paths during the GCA Trivia event.

Nice to have leap frog turn up at my office.... It actaully gave one of the girls a huge shock when she sat on him by mistake.

I will move along this weekend

Had to make a "BUDGET" manouvre today so that's where it'll stay until the Budgie comes back from play!

Hi Julz76
Found this croaker on the way to another cache.
He'd sat around for far too long without being found.
Picked him up at 1240hrs.
Love the little guy!
TFTC and cheers

I have carried this little fellow around for far too long, and his constant squeaking should have been a reminder to place him somewhere sooner. He came on a walk up Mt Wellington today so I placed him near a creek on the Lenah Valley Track.

Froggy located on this visit, on the opposite side of the track to where the GPS wanted to send me. This time I had a proper look without rushing to get out of the rain. Squeaky squeaked all the way home!

I had a good look around on both sides of the track, but the increasing rain forced me to admit defeat without a find.

Sorry I have had him too long.
The squeaky frog is now in a log.

I was surprised to find 2 frogs and a gnome.
Will move soon.

Good spot for frogs! Just be careful of the pond nearby.

At this hiding spot, there was the big, the small and the noisy! With all of that my day pack was stretched and squeaking. Thanks for the cache.

My this is a noisy fellow, good thing he has a nice, quiet, spot, well away from muggles !

Found him hiding in the long grass with his mate on a lovely sunny day !
A really nice spot tucked away here !
Thanks for the cache, Julz76 !

Squeaky is hiding with Fernando in a Cygnet Nature Reserve at the end of Henleys Rd. Be careful when you look for them that you don't get cut.

Hi Julz76
Had been along this track before so getting there was no problem this time. Last time, I followed the needle and did a small bush bash to get the cache and an FTF that I was after.
Leap Frog Squeaky was well hidden with another frog, Fernando; both croaking away as I approached ground zero, making the find at 1131hrs quick and easy.
They can have a warm night in the car before I put them out again.
Thanks to Whitewebbs for taking me back to this track so soon after the last visit - great hide.
TFTC and cheers

Back out enjoying the pine forest with a friend.

Nice to see a new frog. Very cute.

Handed to whitewebbs while holidaying at the shack.

Heading back to Lonnie we stopped to grab Squeaky who was enjoying his hide a little too much. Nearly gave up lots of teatree and vines to search through. Very surprised to find Fernando hiding there as well a bonus find TFTF

We had intended to leave Squeaky somewhere in melbourbe but the weather was so bad that Squeaky wanted to stay in our bags and come to Tassie where the weather has been so much better. Squeaky is now by the sea enjoying the sounds of waves crashing onto the shore, a very different environment to Canberra (and not as cold either).

Today was the third day of our excursion out of Tasmania touring from Melbourne to Canberra and return via Gippsland. We visited a number of towns and areas today between Sale and Bairnsdale and we were lucky enough to find some caches along the way. Despite being overcast at times and some very infrequent showers, we have had an excellent day. We stopped on our way to Bairnsdale to look for the cache "GC2VRZC MadStars - Power Nap" and to our surprise found two frogs in residence. Squeaky was so excited that when patted he squeaked and extended his tongue a long way. He wanted to be moved on to meet other frogs - so he is now riding with us and will be placed at another location in the near future. TFTC
PS: A milestone cache for us - our 4000th find. Sincere thanks to all geocachers who have placed caches for our enjoyment and for the enjoyment of others.

A nice stop for 3 logs in one. Read the stash note however it says please do not move it, so I didn't. Well actually the reason I didn't move it is that I suck at moving things along I know I can never move on TB's so I won't even bother with a cache.

A fair hop and as it's raining I think Squeaky will like it here.

541. Picked up and will move on shortly.

Grabbed this one and its mate nearby, on a late afternoon walk with the mutt. Thanks Julz76.

Out in the world again. Given that most of the locals have already found this one I expect that it might be here for a while, so tried to hide it well.

This is what I like. a bunch of moveables all in one spot an easy walk from a parking spot. Just the right sort of enticement for me to go a slightly different route home. So I grabbed it.

Placed in Callum Brae today with Sol de Lune's instructions. Cheers!

Grabbed, and past to Toy Hunters who will rehide shortly.

Thanks for the frog...

Retrieved from Sol de Lune, after he visited our house this afternoon. Cool moveable. Will move on soon. Thanks.

Bye

Picked up on a drizzly day.

Found another frog, lucky there were no muggles about because Squeaky lived up to his name when I was trying to re-cover him. Signed the log as the 27th, oh well close enough.
Left in place for the next person.

Thanks for the froggy fun!

Off on a trail to a cache on the hill.

Found on Just A Cachers and Black Bunnys table.
Thanks for the Frog.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Nice find today among all the Frogs, Gnomes and others over 70 participants as well as the odd human, some of them very odd indeed!
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.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found at an impromptu Frog and Gnome party in the Blue Mountains.

A great number of frogs, gnomes and other moveables gathered to swap tales of their life on the road.

Thanks for the cache

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!

Squeaky was hard to miss at our Blackheath gathering!

Left him on the table for others to move along . . .

Bye, bye, Squeaky!

Rated: for Overall Experience

Spotted at the Blackheath frog party - where frogs far outnumbered the humans. TFT

'Squeaky' is ready to party with all his mates, they cannot wait to meet more old and new friends.
Don't go looking for any of them before 2:30pm on Sunday.

'Leap Frog Squeaky' has made his way to Lithgow to visit the Clwydd Headquarters. He is getting ready for the party and the big reunion on Sunday, quite keen to meet old and new friends.
Don't go looking for him he is gone!

Rated: for Overall Experience

Squeaky is now in Lithgow!

He's been doing a lot of travelling.

And no doubt there's more ahead of him.

Good luck, Squeaky!

I've heard that squeak before!

So I knew it was Squeaky who was visiting the Blue Mountains.

A very nice surprise . . .

But now he'll have to travel further west . . .

Rated: for Overall Experience

'Leap Frog squeaky' has made a short stopover in Leura to meet the local cacher. He will arrange for further travel up the mountains where all the Frogs and Gnomes will assemble for the big party Sunday!
Don't go looking for him he has gone.

'Leap Frog Squeaky' does not seem to be the worse for wear after the humongous party all the Frogs had, they were all very quiet as I bundled them into the back pack. Well there was no way I was going to pay for all those train tickets!

Rated: for Overall Experience

After a very enjoyable party, I sent all the frogs packing and they're waiting here for rogerw3 to arrange their next adventure

What a great surprise to find morning tea and frogs all turn up at my door this morning

Yeah! A lovely frog gathering here at Dural this morning

Squeaky is off for a morning tea at Dural with lots of other frogs today

Rated: for Overall Experience

'Leap Frog squeaky' went for another long train trip and is now back near the water where he wanted to be, plenty of food here (Frog food that is!)and he will be happy there but it won't be long before he wants to move on.

Old friend 'Squeaky' has come to visit, he will stay briefly (or not) at the Clwydd Hostel and decide on his future. Stay tuned!
Don't go looking for him he is in hiding and not to be found.

Off to Lithgow goes Squeaky!

Bon voyage, froggie!

Hope you'll enjoy the Clwydd area.

Great to pick up Squeaky again.

I brought him home with me and he's presently entertaining our three Persian cats.

They thought at first that he was a large, green mouse!

Will try to move him on tomorrow.

Moved to Leura, in the Blue Mountains.

Taken to find some fresh mountains air.

Squeaky hopped up the road to Macdonalds to meet up with Team Canary

Squeaky was leading a very noisy froggy serenade when i dropped by this evening. I invited a few of the frogs home for some tea of big fat mozzie larva and Squeaky was very keen to join in with that plan!

Squeaky has headed down to the famous Parramatta River for a bit of a swim and a night of croaking with mates

Far to noisey to be in the bush

Time to let this guy and a friend loose in the wilds of Dural

Picked up on the way home from Newcastle.
Thanks Alf!

After grabbing these 4 guys this morning, I barely had time to get home, before another Geomobile drove around and these fellas jumped into his car, for more rain soaked adventures

Picked up this fella with 8 of his mates in a rain soaked early morning frog run. They are all in my car conspiring on their next move. I'll need to separate them soon.

'Frog Squeaky' had a short rest in Lithgow and is on the move again, this spot will do me fine he said and off he went.

'Squeaky' has arrived in Lithgow and will have a short rest before he resumes his travels back to the big smoke. He said he did not mind traveling in such a big tour group!
He also will visit the Clwydd Hospital for minor surgery and should be on his way by tomorrow.

This frog is now touring beautiful Lithgow, after a relaxing and scenic trip through the Blue Mountains.

Clwydd may even be on the itinerary . . .

No doubt transportation will be arranged back to Sydney in due course!

Another brand new froggie! And very, very squeaky indeed.

I have a feeling this one would like to travel out to Lithgow . . .

Will be a nice, long trip with lots of beautiful views . . .
