Bluey Frog Fern Tree, Tasmania, Australia
By DDTs on 01-Dec-11. Waypoint GA3967

Bluey has returned home for a rest - and to leave more room out there for the next round of trackables.

Nice to catch up with bluey at the event.

This traveller was placed on the table at the event GC3YD6Y "Haunted by Milestones" organised by Cheesy Pigs tonight.
Managed to log it there.

I figured this guy had been stuck on the mountain long enough and decided to liberate him. As I reached around the rock to grab him I caught movement out the side of my eye and turned to see a half grown platypus dart back over the edge of the river and into its hollow. Unfortunately there wasn't time for a picture but it brought a smile to my face as my animal encounter day continued

Thanks for the cache

Bluey is back out, near water where frogs like to be.
Please go find him soon.

Found hiding in a stump. Taken away for a car trip or three. Will hide soon.

Went and rescued this little guy today. Will move him along soon

I am sorry I didn't realise it was a movable cache until I was back at the car.
A lovely cache.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Dropped off on the way to another cache.

I came looking for a frog that I hadn't found yet, and ended up carrying out the lot. I'll return the container this weekend.

At the frog party......JAB's would probably like his frog carrying container back at some stage too

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.

oh goodie with friends

cant miss this fellow

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 out how to access from signal station but found a quicker way out. Nice spot. TFTF

Hiding out at GrannySwamps place behind the tree

Bluey frog jumped into the back of my van at the parking spot sometime around the Dragonology Picnic Party Event. Will have him out again shortly

Rated: for Overall Experience

Around 10am Saturday 21st at the parking area for the Dragonology Picnic Party Event.
After that, somewhere along the Pipeline track getting to the launch area to the Dragon's Lair.
If not grabbed by anyone, I'll hide somewhere else after the event.

This is the first time I've met Bluey Frog. Very cute. Lots of little swaps inside but I made no exchange - I did sign the log though. I collected Bluey Frog at Jabs letterbox when I randomly swung by there on my way home. So it was a lucky little detour.

Nabbed the other night and thought JABs logged them.......

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found on an early morning frog run.

back out

Found this cache and rescued from a fate worse than death : a trip to the mainland of Australia. Actually found a large group of frogs that had been surrounding the event at the beltana on Friday night.

Thanks for the frog

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.

Back in town and ready to move again.

The plane has landed and the frogs jumped into the hire car for a lift back to town.

Rated: for Overall Experience

here comes the plane

Help us he is taking us to the airport.

We have you surrounded. Come out with your gps' on. We know you are in there at the event.

Finally got a break in the rain to hike down to the gathering

GrannySwamp is keeping an eye on the F&G Ball going on at the bottom of the garden. The F&G Ball is a lot like a B&S Ball but without the utes.
If they stay together and not wander off, you should find them all behind the tree near the stacked wood, just on the fence line.

Finally. Co-ords out a bit but got him in the end

Came back after a phone call from Old Saint about where we went looking last time and that we were looking in the wrong place.
We happened to close by this time so drove the extra to come find Bluey Frog.
Will have him out soon.

Checked and rechecked the coords on Bluey, but alas, no frog. Maybe someone else has picked him up and hasnt logged it yet....

????? Is all I can say

Found this Bluey just as described He was glad to see a friend as he got cold over night Must have had a good feed as his tummy was full of goodies.
TFTC DDTs Happy New Year to you both
Cheers OldSaint.

Moved along to sing a song. Found a bush with red brush, near a creek so he can speak.

Found him. With a name like Bluey we were expecting a red head

back out

Could not give this frog away. Whitewebs and tassie trekers didnt want him!!!!!! So we were given him back.... Oh well he can come to Hobart with me.

all frogs will be released back to the wild tomorrow.

Anyway here is my log signature

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

Bluey Frog has had a good night's sleep and is ready to continue his journey.

Found on our way to the north on a frog napping exercise cleverly disguised as a christmas shopping exercise.

Bluey had heard from Cadbury that there was a chocolate place near Latrobe, not as good as Cadbury at Claremont, but reasonable. So he wanted to be dropped off there on the way through. We obliged.

Found on our way home after a frog-huntng raid on the south. Bluey will come with us to the North West to continue his race there. TFTF

Looked in the obvious spot not a frog did we see

Rated: for Overall Experience

He's back out in a frog pad we have used before. He is a bright little fellow so thought this might be a good spot for Blue.

Nice little park in Pontville on the main thoroughfare through the area.

Found him looking a bit lonely. Warm him up in the car before his next adventure.

Bluey is actually hard to hide, given his colour. You may want to come rescue him from the rain. He is hiding at the bottom of a pampas grass bush

Hmmm. A frog in the dead centre of town. Wonder how many more will move in?

Rated: for Overall Experience

Bluey has a nice new home with a bit of a view but I wouldn't be caught "dead" here for quids

How totally cool is this guy. Pencil for log seems to have disappeared. Will replace when I get home and get this guy out again tomorrow

Could be cheesy, could be

In a lovely area.

Yes ... Thanks budgie.

I have had that damn song stuck in my head since I saw your log

(are you looking to increase your cache log verbosity? )

I was going to drop Frogger off on a lunchtime ride, but then decided it might be better to keep that one safe, so I dropped it off with BudgieTas.
In return, I picked up Bluey Frog, and he'll go out on the ride with me today!

Collected from my office desk by Reborn Cyclist

Grabbed without geo kids after school. Basically the geo wife was to collect kids from the bus stop when I got an emergency phone call - my geo wife was stuck in the hair dressers. Well this was 15 after the bus had arrived, so I was off like a shot and collected the kids. We then set off to rivers in glenorchy as they had $1 pairs of socks. Rivers socks are great. They are comfortable and last well. 20 pairs later we decided to check the nearby frogs. There were 3 - one very close and two a bit of a drive. Quickly found the closest then set off for the two in Claremont. Managed to find and retrieve both!!!

Anyway I haven't published in a log my favorite frog song yet - so here it is

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
And the frog went Glumpf Glumpf Glumpf
But we all know frogs go "La de da de da"
"La de da de da"
"La de da de da"
We all know frogs go "La de da de da"
They don't go glumpf glumpf glumpf.


Geo kid a swapped a frog on along for a frog eraser.
