Cache moved on and already collected TFTC
I saw a haul of caches arrive in town while I was with KittyKatch designing our new GeoArt. I packed up as quickly as I could to head out and collect them but as I neared GZ Sol de Lune informed me that he had beaten me to them. So here I am holding and logging them before moving them on.

#GA5086 - 17:00; Saw a bunch of moveables land and set out for the find. I was joined by Sol de lune as I closed in on GZ and we soon collected the spoils including this old croaker. TFTC MtnLioness

Yah... vintage has finished and I have time off finally! And look, some nice cacher has placed a couple moveables very near to home to entice me out
A short walk brought me to this little fellow, and it's followed me home.
Will move it along soon
Cheers

Terracroaka has hopped his way up to four-fun territory.
Hiding in a familiar spot with some nicely kept trees for cover.

We popped out this morning to grab this cache, and made a fairly quick find. Sad to see the area used as a dumping ground, especially as it's the entrance to a residential property.
We signed the logbook and took it for a drive into the hills to re-hide it straight away.
Thanks MtnLioness.

I sent MtnLioness a photo of Terracroaka before I put it out, I think she was still happy that he was still moving - not bad 7 years on the move for this little bad ass frog.
I was at a munzee event today at the nearby establishment and decided I would get Terracroaka back out in GCA territory where he will hopefully be picked up soon.

Safe travels!!!!

Terracroaka was ready to start its tour of South Australia so dropped off into the park at an early cacher meet up
When we were planning our mainland trip we noticed that there appeared to be ten GA moveable caches that we had not found hidden along the Murray River not far from the highway. They had to be added to our lists. We had hopec to collect them yesterday but time was not on our side. This meant that we had a little back tracking to do at the start of the day.
As we turned off the main road we were pleased to see that the track leading to the river was dry. We felt our 2WD, low clearance street car would be able to manage this. We were about a third of the way to the first group when the track deteriorated and we found ourselves stradling some deep ruts the result of 4WD in the wet. Slowly and carefully we made our way towards the hide. We were able to park within 25m of the hide.
Accurate coordinates led us to the well hidden swag which, to our surprise, was a supermarket bag that was well tied up. We had no time to check all the moveable so grabbed the lot and stashed the bag, moveables and all in the car. It was then a slow trip back to the junction and down the next track to the next gathering or what turned out to be an equably daunting trip to the next hide where we found another bag of caches. We then headed back to the junction with the third track and a third group of caches.
We saw some awesome camping spots by the river on our way in and out and were glad to make it out with out any damage to the car apart from a very thick layer of dust.
After a very full day we spent the evening sorting the moveables and now to log them.
The large Red Terracroaka was the second one to be pulled out. He wanted to spend some quiet time in the fresh air after being cooped up in a super market bag for almost three months.
We will take him for a short trip before releasing him in time for the Ides of March.

Time to get it back out in the wild over here in the East, which I'll do asap.

I've had this fella for far too long. Moved him up to a spot in the hills and released him.
Came to Mt Dale to do the turtle cache and found this guy guarding the cache. He'd swallowed the log book from turtle so i returned it to its proper location and then took this guy to avoid further confusion. Will move on soon.
Up on Dale for the trig and a GC cache I had to wander down and find this one. Having never moved a cache before and pressed for time I decided to leave it behind. Thanks for sharing MtnLioness

froggy has traveled some 300km, the garden is not all that attractive, but he has a view across water and new friends, ducks, swamp hens, and turtles!
The feathered guardians were very curious as to what we were doing!
Frog is now in transit

No need to walk through gates. Watched over by two feathered friends. Large and camo'ed.
we are going on a trip down south so will relocate froggy ASAP ...he is awesome.
Now resting in a very frog friendly environment...sorry about the long wait, he was well looked after
Has this frog been collected and not relocated or is he still on original location?
"Found" logs are hard to interpret without more information!
