Oh dear, I've been quite remiss in moving this frog along. After intending a next-day move I discovered I had completely forgot about them and it was stuck in my boot with another Leapfrog and a GeGnome... Then after I finally hid them all together just as I found them (less my own Leapfrog) in a shopping bag, I had forgotten to actually log the move... Doh


Shhhhhhh

I decided to chase down one of my Leapfrogs who was in company with this one.

I made a slight mistake at GZ pulling through a gate and driving up a gravel road - only to realise that this wasn't a road but the trail! Embarassed I quick u-turn - of course now some muggles came along to witness my stuff up Doh who I had to wait to pass by - then came back down the proper road! Honestly - who puts a wide opening on the street end - with no bollard and no warning signs - but a narrow one down the track when its far too late?!? Rolling Eyes After having to wait for more muggles who just had to turn up when I was at GZ, and worse the little ones clambered up onto the platform whilst the elders dawdled along as slowly as possible. I walked to the picnic tables nearby and sat down - discovering my next stuff up - I hadn't transfered a query's worth of other local caches to my GPS so my plans for gathering some more smilies from out here was dashed Sad After a wait the muggles had moved off, and although another was packing their bike into their van I moved in and grabbed the exposed shopping bag which thankfully turned out to be the nice collection of ex-racers (all new to me, except my own GGF obviously) Smile I took them all with me and will release them into suburbia possibly tomorrow (err today now), else during the week.

There was no log to sign on this one? (Just a keytag and rusty pathtag - which I desired but presumed was part of the ID for this frog so I left it alone - hoping to pick up a shiny new one from the owner sometime hint hint! nudge nudge!)

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.

Longley side of bank. Little cave next to bridge. Hope this helps

Can't believe this would be 16 metres up stream spent 20 minutes looking still in area if you can provide a better hint we will go back.
 
11-Dec-11
Sorry - now there is a little blue moved arrow on the home page.

Once again this frog jumped in my car and has gone for a ride to where ever the car was going. We made it to Mt Wellington but decided that this frog was going down the hill.
Rehide in a wonderful area that should be conducive to frog mating, since Lily the Frog is moving in. Nice and moist - just what frogs like so they dont get too dried out making tadpoles....

Back out and hopping.

Took the frog from a fellow cachers car. The frog was happy to be on the move again.

Inspector,

I am writing this to explain why I was late to commence my rostered duty of 7am - 4pm on Tuesday 6/12/11.

I woke at my usual time and prepared for work. I then switched on the computer while having my morning coffee and discovered that there were 2 frogs loose in Mount Nelson. At this stage I should point out that I am not a batrachist per se, but these guys needed to be collected.

I located this frog and one other then returned to my usual morning routine and was at best 2 minutes late for the start of me shift.

Thank you for the frog
