Found. This little chap was hiding out at Blossom*'s house, so I took the opportunity to examine him and sign his log.

I think he is lurking in the bottom of my pram!! Oops.

Searched at Merton as not sure if there or whether logged correctly but dnf. I wonder where he is?

Found while starting a multi. I'm glad I could log this find as we only had time to find half the multi. Thank you for the frog!

He has been set free to enjoy the MTB park. Cheers Quilter

On the way to Tolosa to take TTE mountain biking. Trade off is we stop off and grab this cache on the way. Lucky TTE came with me, I pointed to GZ and he scrambled, got prickled on the blackberries, and retrieved the cache. I wonder where I will hide him Cheers Quilter

Is this frog really in Antarctica? Parking coords are near Jordan river

Short walk along track,looking over river.Park at S42 41.485 E147 15.970.Looks like a bad idea to log using phone as text is a little bit small.

Easy find on the way down to south arm caching trip.TFTC

Placed on the way home to the Peninsula just off the highway.

Hi Strike-a-light
Saw this just after it was logged as a move and went straight for it.
Found it at 1007hrs and took it to be hidden in another nook.
Great looking frog.
TFTC and cheers;

In the letterbox ..... Waiting

Hi

Found this frog because it was one of the few I had not seen in Tasmania. Was driving to cricket training and decided I was running early and had time for a quick find. The hint under rocks caused a few issues as there were many rocks to be turned over. Just when I started to call cheesy fearing the frog was gone I turned over the biggest rock and found the frog.

Thanks for the frog.

and back out, under a rock

A quick wander around trevallyn dam netted a number of frogs this morning. Tftf

Back out

One last leap for frogkind perhaps before the end of the race. Nice to find a frog we haven't met yet

Went for a walk in the park and left this frog enjoying the bush and the bubbling creek.

Found this interesting and very colourful frog in the park with a couple of mates. Shall be rocketing on somewhere else soon.

The Blue-legged Rocket Frog is out and about again waiting for the next team to come along and introduce themselves. Within croaking distance of another couple of frogs.

Found the rocket frog and we think he's one of the most interesting frogs we've seen so far!

Left Rocket Frog with a beautiful view while waiting for his next ride

Picked up Blue-legged Rocket Frog while walking the geo mutt

The Blue-legged Rocket Frog had heard about the Rocket Park in Ulverstone. So, naturally he wanted to go and see for himself. Rocket Frog had to be content with getting close as contractors are still tidying up the construction site after completion of the new bridge. Despite this he was still impressed with the big rocket.

Dropped in to FTS (Frog Transfer Station)to pick up Flo and found the owners, GU and DG, at home. After a pleasant chat we discovered that Blue Legged Rocket Frog had just blasted in. It was decided that he should join Flo on a trip to the NW. Will blast off again tomorrow.

Moved to our froggy resort, would have liked to have moved further but after unexpected visitors dropped by to collect him we had a change of plans!

Frognapped

Back out and ready for the next hop. Watch out for the gorse when collecting.

Quick find this morning. These north island frogs certainly have some ideas. We'll see if we can rocket him on to his next hop.

This froggie flew to Tassie with us this week (on a jet not a rocket though) and today he stopped in a hidey hole at the river

This little froggie came home with us from the ZEAMMAFF event, he has already said he would like a plane trip to Tassie next week, so we are packing him in the suitcase.

Found this froggie at the fabulous ZEAMMAFF Event! at Concord West, NSW!

Lots and lots and lots of Leap Frogs and gnomes in attendance!

Thanks to Zal for making it all happen!

Another new frog for me at the event today.

Found at the ZEAMMAFF Event. Gotta love all these frogs!

Yet another ZEAMMAFF Frog Find.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found this frog again at the ZEAMMAFF event. Cheers.

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.

off to the event

Off to Bicentennial Park for a froggie party

'Blue-legged Rocket frog' has now moved to this nice small tree hole.

Saw this frog pop up with a few friends in Hazo, but by the time we got there they were gone

Was great to find Rocket in the midst of lots of other Leap Frogs in the Blue Mountains . . .

He looks like he might be able to move really fast . . .

Will let rogerw3 attend to possible Leap Frog speed records . . .

Found 'Blue-legged Rocket Frog' in a positive cornucopia of Frogs and gnome today, is there such a thing as a frog mine? Because if so I found it today with pjmpjm.

Left for the Upper Mountains Cachers in Hazelbrook.

Found in Srathfield in Sydney.

Moved towards Homebush along the cycle way! usual place in the bole of the tree next to canal under mulch

He didn't last long! Mostly as while blossom had placed a power trail for me Rich swooped in and swapped all the frogs stood so I got this one instead

Rated: for Overall Experience

Moved along the power trail a few stops. He's about 2 metres behind a concrete drain cover.

I thought I would jump on the power trail, and this was the first as I went along merrily swapping frogs. He moved down the trail a bit.

The Rocket is at the start of a Christmas Day power trail along the Cooks River cycleway

I went to rescue this guy from the doldrums this afternoon. He was waiting patiently, I think he still believes in Father Christmas!

Moved to east lindfield

Don't usually do movable caches but had to do something 200m away so decided to go find my first frog. Had been eying this one for a while- its pretty cool . Will move a bit north or south, depends which way the wind goes
Thanks

Blue legged rocket frog zoomed off to the end of Kitchener Street West in St Ives, thinkng about going on a bush walk. He's resting underneath the wandering jew just behind one of the posts of the Harbour to Hawkesbury sign while he decides if he will go or not.

When catching a train at Normanhurst Station early in the morning, I observed someone acting suspiciously as they hid a "package" behind a tree. I suspected it might be a drug drop! After much deliberation, decided against calling the police. When I got back from work, I plucked up courage and investigated, only to find Blue Rocket Frog snoozing under some leaves!!!
I had not previously heard of geocaching but will now take Blue Rocket Frog on a journey and start hunting for brother or sister frogs.
BTW, I have confiscated his drug stash!

Rocket frog shot off into the sky and landed in a park right near Normanhurst station. Look behind the Pittosporum tree right on the Colorbond fence. Under some leaves - he's small remember.

Another vagrant occupying the spot of another frog I was looking for. Oh well I hadn't found this one either so he's in the bag with the rest!

'Blue-legged Rocket Frog' has taken off in a hurry to this spot, he found it to his liking and evicted the previous occupant 'Secret Frog -- Red 1'

'Blue-legged Rocket Frog' enjoyed his trip to the 'Bulgo' trig and decided to come back with me as he did not want to be left there all alone beside not being a native frog he felt he did not belong. We had a short stopover in Leura as well.


Here is 'Rocket' trying to hide under a Toadstool or is it Frogstool?

Rated: for Overall Experience

What a spiffy little froggie!

And what an imaginative spin on the theme and container!

I met up with Blue Legs while he was visiting Leura, in the Blue Mountains, in the company of another geocacher.

I think he's going to get on the train and continue on to Lithgow.

Rocket came on a walk to discover Bulgo trig. He was so excited when we found it that he jumped right up to the top and declared that he was King of the Castle

Yes, the gps certainly is hopeless!! As I approached my expected GZ the gps still had me a street or two across. There were sooooo many people walking by that it was totally impossible to do anything without at least 20 of them noticing. But luckiy this is a once-off hiding spot so it didn't matter when I grabbed Rocket

After I headed off again towards work, I heard a little "beep" and looked down to discover the gps had decided that I was approaching GZ finally Only 2 streets past GZ. Thank goodness for a detailed clue

Rated: for Overall Experience

Blue legged's rocket brought him into the city. Fortunately he found a garden bed to rest in for a while, under the space ship like MLC centre.
GPS coords are hopeless here, so use the clue.

*FTF* The area around GZ had been gone over, but found this little frog within 5 or so seconds of arriving at GZ at 10:50pm.

3 hours train ride and a quick walk in the rain but no Frog to show for it, did I miss him or has he been picked up already, the area looked well trampled so most likely somebody found him, let's hope it was a Frog cacher!

The Rocket is off! He's decided to swap places with a frog who wants to go to a Christmas party today!
