Description

Marley is a movable cache competing in the GCA Leap Frog geocaching game commencing 1/12/2011.

Frog Marley

Frog Marley (Litoria rastaformis) is a rare and secretive creature. It is commonly found in trees, bushes and even on the ground in most habitats. It is not fussy and really just enjoys hanging about with some weed for company.

It has a number of distinctive calls that always take the form of bouncy, happy melodies:

"Croak it Up"

"Polliwog Soldier"

"No ribbit No cry"

"I shot the tadpole"

"Is this frog?"

If you manage to locate this shy animal, please re-hide in a peaceful place !

 

 

Rules (not guidelines)

  • Your cache must be a genuine, bone fide frog.
  • Your frog may be store bought or hand crafted.

    Geocaching Australia has the facility to automatically publish your cache on 1 December 2011
    Please refer to the Geocaching Australia wiki for more information
  • You are welcome to join the game after it has started provided you list the hidden date and published date as 1 December 2011 and add the word leapfrog to your cache tags
    The later you enter your frog the less time there is to get it moving, so you are encouraged to enter the game at the commencement
  • You are required to add the word leapfrog to the tags on your entry at Geocaching Australia
    You can add the word leapfrog to your tags by visiting your cache page and clicking on Tag in the Actions section in the right hand navigation section of your cache page

  • The game administrators decision is final
  • You can not find and move your own cache during the game period
  • Caches must be found and hidden by the same cacher (i.e. no mailing the cache to another cacher to hide)
  • There is no limit to the number of times other cachers can find / move the cache provided there are at least two other finds / moves in between
  • If a cacher moves your cache overseas and it remains unfound overseas for 1 week or more, the same cacher may move your cache (within the country or to another country) without breaking the "2 moves" rule
  • There is no limit to the distance other cachers can move the cache
  • Other cachers in the game may find / move your cache, but they must move it on within 2 days

I went looking for a whole bunch of GCA moveables, but couldn't find some of them - as it seems now, OldSaint had been through before me.
It's hard when there's no hint to know whether it's gone or I just can't find it.
I found this one after parking nearby and then clambering around the dirt mound until I spotted it.

Taken all the frogs and a couple of gnomes for a drive up the East Coast to Scamander. They'll all be here for a little while. Don't bother looking cuz Tim Tam is going to find them all....
 
08-Feb-12
Found on my way back from Launceston, picking up all the stray frogs on the Midland Highway. I stopped here this morning and found Stealthy McStealth but I hadn't included frogs that I had already found. This time though, I did and Frog Marley and a mate were found after I interrupted some muggle trying to sleep in his 4x4.
I'll take them all back to Hobart to get checked out by Tim Tam.
Thanks for the frog

Hi red tag
Have found a few today including an FTF.
In fact 11 to date, this makes twelve.
Got to GZ and couldn't find a stump, so the search widened and Marley song(s) could be heard - found him at 1545hrs.
He can come with me for a game of golf at Huonville tomorrow - I need a goods caddie.
Happy Birthday for the 28th. Hope Freycinet went well.
Cheers OldSaint.

On the way to find another frog when I was just about to step over Frog Marley but eagle eyes spotted something not right and I found a frog!!!
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.

I fear for Frog Marley. There has been some new landscaping and GZ no longer seems suitable as a frog home. Will email previous hider to check that I was in the right place.

geo kid e, geo kid o and myself decide it was the boys turn to go for a frog hunt. We were successful though most of the north west and north a few days previously, so a trip south was in order to grab the frogs placed out by Makky Brown

Anyway here is my log signature

Forgot I had this frog....thought it was still in Swampy's NTrailTB. Put out before I head off to my wonderful night shift at work. If only the kms travelled in the car added to the frog mileage. Any way in crook of tree. Be warned geomummy can see you if she happens to be paying attention at the time
 
26-Dec-11
That is what I get for logging on my new phone that I am still learning to drive. But just so you know Swampy is fine and I am sure he appreciates your concern lol
 
26-Dec-11
Seeing TimTam found this frog after "Lynch"; I assume that Swampy may no longer be with us and that "Lunch" did not go that well! I wonder what Swampy had for his last meal? Maybe frog legs????
Cheers OldSaint.

Got a visit from Budgie today, bearing frogs. I was right in the middle of putting Maxi Tune back together whilst keeping an eye on the counter. Took the frogs offered and put them out of sight until I could finish fixing the machine and serving the customers.
Will rehide them soon

Found on an after expedition to find a few frogs. Two in tools a street, one near jabs house and a couple hidden by white webs in Howrah. Surprisingly I came home with 8 as jabs had few there as I called through to collect esconde from his letterbox. So a good night by all accounts!!!!

Frog Marley and two friends are now in the vicinity of the Essex St access to Gordons Hill (although Frog Marley is probably the most uncomfortable when it comes to sitting around ... as you'll see when you find him). Come and find three for the price of one visit to the sunny Eastern Shore.

Frog Marley finds the ducks decidedly ungroovy, and decides to head to hipper Hobart.

Frog Marley became fascinated watching hay baling but wanted to keep well away from teh ducks sunning themselves on a nearby dam. We found a safe hiding spot as we drove back to the North West.
 
17-Dec-11
Certainly a frog with attitude. He will liven up the North West. So, Frog Marley will be placed out within the next 48 hours. TFTF

Not sure this is the ideal spot for this frog. Peaceful most of the time, but traffic could be an issue. Probably needs to be hopped on. Ribbit

Definite feelings of deja vu about this frog hunt. Couldn't help wondering whether the installation of the log book container is responsible for this frogs expression. I think OldSaint is about right! Ribbit

Hi red tag
I think this froggy shows heaps of imagination. A great frog cache with a very sore rear end (See pics), so I've given him a nick name, hope you don't mind (LOL).
Went to visit Budge and this hairy little critter was staring me in the face. Hence, a very quick find at 1430hrs. Signed the log and went a hunting another cache and then hid them both as quickly as possible.
Tried my phone to log both the find and the move, something I hadn't tried before and to my surprise it worked. Hence, my amendments to the original log.
Anyway, thanks for a top frog cache and cheers;
OldSaint

Well, I didn't leave him on the street, I handed him to Old Saint who popped into my office and found him on my desk.

He was sitting happily in the sun, but i
Fixed that. I thought he would be rather laid back, but he is a bit stuck up. Like somebody with a stick up there bum. Hmmm come to think of it, that could be the reason.

Thanks for the cool frog redtag.
