Flo Frog Blackburn, Victoria, Australia

Flo Frog has gone to the big pond in the sky!

Sorry rogerw3, I checked with Black Bunny and it looks like Flo had been caught in a cleanup. I'm planning on checking on your other frog in Templestowe hopefully during the week.

There was nothing matching the hint at the posted coords so I searched every post in the vicinity with no luck. Looks like there may have been a cleanup. I'll try checking with the last hider to get a clearer picture but out doesn't look good.

No joy plus muggles sitting in cars getting in the way of a proper search...

Down for some fun down Mexico way.

Found with Black Bunny on a triop down south.

Thanks for the cache Roger

Found on a spur of the moment road trip down to Victoria. So once more on the road again.

Thanks for the cache.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Ready to find.

Gotcha

Placed in Redwood park as well as many others. Cheers...

Found on a moveable run before sunset. A nice easy find in a familiar spot. Good to see a bunch of moveables in one place - we left one of the frogs as have already found it. Will move on soon. TFTC rogerw3!

Another frog found and dropped with a bunch of friends out near the pistol range - that should keep them safe. Photo shows obvious hollow

595. found sitting on some rocks outside a friends house - nice.

TFTF and the rider.

Well look at that! I was looking around my garden near the driveway and there was a frog..and another! TFTF.

Saw this one had been moved over a month ago and still not grabbed. So went for a drive just in case it was still there.....and of course it was. Will relocate shortly.

Thanks for yet another frog.....

Rated: for Overall Experience

Moved on...

Got it.

Now in the ACT!

Grabbed Flo while preparing for our trip to Victoria tomorrow.

I'll hide her in the next few days in a new state!

Now we'll move Flo! She's back out there and awaiting a lift!

Whoops, we've been carrying Flo around since Saturday without logging her. I just logged her as a move but realised this might damage her statistics as to found numbers. Not sure if it matters now but out of fairness to Flo I thought I'd better do it by the book.
Sorry rogerw3.

Flo is baffled by this boat ramp, a beautiful lake, an effective boat ramp, an impressive campsite and the lake is closed to the public. Flo really would carp on about feral fish but they have made her location a little lonely.

"Were there any women at this stoning?" I found poor Flo and friends under a pile of rocks at Shale Road. Flo is going to head off to Interlaken on the weekend.

Party time

A quick find. Cheers, Landy_clan

Seaside location.

Unusual spot for a cache as I thought it was on private property but expect it was on a road reserve.....a note to that effect would have been handy. Never the less...co-ords were spot on for an easy find. TFTC..Cheers.

Out again.

Pick up this frog while walking the dogs. Thank,

Three for one in this hiding spot. Hiding with Trust a Frog and Hopping for Champagne. Bye bye Flo.

Old Saint found a very nice hiding spot - but I brought Flo out to enjoy the lovely sunshine today.

Moved to the Eastern Shore with four others.

Hi rogerw3
Absolutely loved finding this cache.
It had been a long time since I'd walked this track and I thank you and TimTamToo for taking me back to this area.
Hope your feeling better TimTam.
Found the cache at 1125hrs.
TFTC and cheers;
OldSaint.

Sorry for the delay but have been laid up with a work injury for about 6 weeks and haven't been abe to go caching. In a new home now

Found. Will move soon

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....

Found this frog sitting on a log, no, under a tree with a mate. Interesting to note that there was also some egg shell and a bit of a nest, so I'm guessing some large got the duck egg and have scared the duck off...
Took Flo and mate for a trip to Launceston and then back to Hobart.
Will rehide after Tim Tam gives them a bit of a health check.

And back out at the base of a tree

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 before

How frustrating. We were right here today gnome hunting and I was sure there was a frog as well but the GPS didn't show it. Our GPS sometimes (very rarely these days) saves without saving so we muttered and moved on.
Halfway home I realised we'd found Flo before so the GPS had filed her under found and we hadn't checked. Sure enough, there she was.
Sorry Flo, two racing days left and we walked right past you. Didn't even find the gnome.

Flo Frog is out and about again waiting for the next team to come along and introduce themselves.

This one was a bit of a challenge - people about everywhere enjoying a lovely summer evening. But it didn't stop us, we went in and we came out with the frog!

Left Flo in a very froggy looking spot

Picked up Flo while walking the dog.

Given her previous injuries, we were very selective as to where Flo would commence her tour of the North West. However, she is a real trooper and looking forward to seeing the sights.

Found Flo hanging out at the FTS (Frog Transfer Station). She enjoyed the company of the larger frogs and felt that the clear air and beautiful view would help heal her wounds. She'll spend the night indoors with the other frogs and has hopped out of her plastic bubble for a short time. Flo is looking forward to seeing North West Tasmania.

relocated to a lovely part of tassie, on the tamar river. flo is hanging out with a couple of larger locals, getting some travel advice! she is about 5m on to our property, don't be shy about visiting our froggy resort!

Frognapped

Out and hopping. Note that Flo is travelling in a plastic bag, presumably due to previous injuries.

Quick find this morning. Welcome to Tasmania little frog.

After flying to Tassie Flo has found a picnic spot near the river for a rest.

We met Flo at the ZEAMMAFF event and she took us up on the offer of a trip to Tassie next week, in the meantime she is hanging out with a couple of froggy friends in the Blue Mountains.

Part of the Froggy Honour Guard that can to see me off at my ZEAMMAFF Event!

I was so happy to see more than 50 Frogs & Gnomes show up for the farewell! I logged as many as I could as I wont see them again before the end of the race. Thanks to everyone who came, human, amphibian and Gnome

A great time was had by all and it took over an hour to sort and sign all the caches who Blossom* made sure found a good safe home

Cheers, and see you in 6 months!

Zal.

Yet another ZEAMMAFF Frog Find.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Met Flo and her siblings at ZEAMMAFF today.

Found 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!

Found this frog 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, about 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 frog event!

First frog of the new year and our first since Xmas, all frogs having moved south in some sort of pincer movement against the assembled gnomes perhaps? Flo Frog has joined with Froggie to move south in support of the frog army at the event tomorrow.

Dropped this guy off after a ride out to Wisemans ferry today.
See you in the new year Flo!

Flo couldn't jump into my arms quick enough, I think she had been with Alf for too long!!

Rated: for Overall Experience

After forgetting Flo in my bag for tooo many days I finally took her out for a nice walk this morning. Bumped into Purplepeopleater and she jumped into his arms for another trip. Hope she doesn't 'crack' up while with him

While finding a GC cache close by, I decided to check on Flo and see if her superglue makeover was holding up. I wasn't sure if she was still there, as my GPSr had the 15th as her drop off date. I found the Island, the tree and the shell. Then found Flo nicely tucked in and sleeping peacefully..I THINK she is slepping I grabbed her and must admit, she looks ok from outside the bag Will look after her blossom*, not to worry

Rated: for Overall Experience

Flo joined the excursion to Bicentennial Park this afternoon and was quite excited when she spied a little island that she could have all to herself. She is in a hollow in the trunk of a mangrove with a huge oyster shell covering her.

Flo was so excited to be back in my kitchen for some reason that she leapt right out of the bag and had a nasty accident all over the kitchen floor. (insert picture of shattered frog here)

She hit so hard that she knocked herself out and I thought it kinder to leave her that way while I operated. Having gone down the fibreglass path with gnomes, I decided Flo would NOT like that so I went for the superglue instead.

It sticks pretty well I can say Although I put gloves on, the gloves stuck to Flo in quite a few different spots. And then bits of glove tore off and stayed stuck to Flo, leaving bits of blossom* fingers to get the tiniest micron of superglue on and stick to Flo, the remaining bits of glove and the newspaper all at once



No, I did not stop there! Some of Flo's bits didn't seem to slot together too well so I trimmed a few edges (she might have needed a facelift or something and had some spare skin folds do you think? )and then pushed a bit so all bits ended up sort of close-ish. I'm not sure how well she will hold together when she comes around but the main thing is :

DO NOT LET HER LOOK IN A MIRROR!!!

She may not like the gaping hole in her forehead too much and faint again which might have her shattered all over again.

mm, sorry rogerw3 - she's not going to come home to you quite the same cute little girl as when she left

Flo heard that blsoom* was coming to the frog party lunch today and was really excited to go home with her

Found him - whoops - her and shall move her on

Flo has escaped the rat race of the city & is now in outer suburbia.

Caught this little guy having a puff in Martin Place.
Gave him a reprimand and took him home. Left another in his place to enjoy the city life

Rated: for Overall Experience

Flo decided to check out the city and where better than Martin Place?
She found a corner of a shoulder height garden, under a cigarette pack to sleep before deciding where to go next. Can you help?

Went frogging after a long flight back from Perth and found this one. TFTF

Found at the NSW Christmas event. A cute little fellow and good to finally find this one.

Left him at the event for someone else to move around Sydney.

Thanks for the Frog rogerw3

Found at the Geocaching Christmas event in Sydney today.
Left at the event, so that we don't totally denude Sydney of all its frogs in one fell swoop.

Flo went for a swim here and then clambered up to a nice fork in the large paperbark just off the path.

Flo wanted to go for a swim so we took her down to some nice muddy mangroves

Flo was a bit taken aback at the ruckus in the car and was quite quick to jump out when we arrived!

When it started raining at the party, Flo politely asked if she could get a lift home. What a well-behaved frog

Discovered this cache at Geocaching NSW Christmas Party event. Left it for someone else to move on. Merry Christmas.

Will be at the Xmas party

FTF!! Found on my GCA cache marathon!! Started on the wrong side of the tracks firstly!! But not too long later. I was walking the path for another quick frog grab!! Thanks Roger!

Flo is now eager to be found and moved.
