Description

I am off again (hopefully) after coming out of retirement after racing in the Leap Frog moving cache race from 1 December 2011 until 31 January 2012. Please find me and rehide me asap. Please log my every move and placement on the GCA website. I wish to see as much of Australia as possible.

Out and about on a beautiful autumn day to rehide some moveables we'd had for a bit and couldn't resist the chance to pick these ones up to try to do more in the Crystal Cavern. We weren't sure if they'd still be in place after the last found log but there they were just waiting for us. We'll try to get these back out again as soon as possible, thanks for the cache

We spent the long weekend in the area working through some geoart and anything else that caught our attention.
We don't often go to the moveables but figured why not. Way too many to move them all but we had a lot of fun meeting them. TFTCs

Hi whitewebbs
After a night with little sleep, we left home early to catch up a great caching mate from the North West Coast
Moveables were exchanged, of which, this was one
Sainting the cache at 0845 hours
Sirius and I walked part of the Geilston Bay Track looking for caches along the way
It was great to see an cacher as experienced as he is at work - good experience
Thanks for sharing some time together this morning Sirius; greatly enjoyed and appreciated
TFTC and cheers

A day out for double points started on the Paradise Peninsula, Sandford then down to Tasman Peninsula and off to the middle of Tasmania to Tunbridge, (well almost) and back to Oatlands for tea with muggle Mum and Tassie Trekkers. That was foiled due to everything being shut on the public holiday. Had to resort to a monte carlo biscuit and thermos coffee! Good to catch up with family and swap some moveables. Now headed South.

At the frog party......JAB's would probably like his frog carrying conatiner back at some stage too
 
25-Jan-12
Hmmm. Spent so much time looking in the trees for this one moving further away from GZ cuz it couldn't be found at the 6 foot mark.
Then Tim Tam goes back and falls out of the tree and finds Hopeful on the ground. Bet he was getting height sickness up there and jumped out
 
25-Jan-12
After spending what seemed like an eternity looking 6ft up trees (which isn't easy when you are only 5'5") I fell out of said tree and thought to myself I wonder if the frog did the same. Sure enough laying upside down in the dirt was poor Hopeful. Have picked him up and dusted him off. Will send him back out soon

I apologise. I didn't actually go back with the coords, but went and collected it. I just looked on google satellite, and it does look like they were out. So I've moved it to a new location, and we'll try it there, and nearby is Frogeater, so you might be able to get both with the visit. I hope there's more success here.
 
14-Jan-12
Came for a sticky beak as we were in the area and we like a challenge. I think the hider needs to confirm the frog as we couldn't find it either Sad
 
14-Jan-12
I tried so hard to find this frog! Look at the base of every Steele pole. but no luck in finding the frog! Maybe it decide to jump into the river let! Who knows! Maybe I was not trying hard enough?
