Gary the green frog Macquarie Park, New South Wales, Australia
By Candy Cane 101 on 01-Dec-11. Waypoint GA3788

A review of this moveable has shown that the cache may still be in location, just sitting there waiting to be found. So, if you're in the area, or simply passing through, why not stop and help it on its way again.....

I found Garry by accident while looking for a GC. Was left very confused till I googled the waypoint. I feel happy to find him! Didn’t change his location since he wasn’t my goal. Will say hi to him when I revisit to find my other cache.

I found Gazza at 20:15 while on the way back to the 'ranch' from the shopping centre. I actually found its GC neighbour not too far away but once I saw my name in the logbook for that one from a few years ago, I knew I had to move a few metres away before finally finding our green friend.

It was such a nice hidey hole though that I decided to leave him there for future seekers.

TNLNSL. Thanks Candy Cane 101.

Moved. Now nestled near a creek in Sydney.

Found Gary while on a drive around the Pinnacles today. HE has been sitting here in a very dry spot for way to long so he is going to head East with us.

Discovered in the hands of richlink.

Hope the frog enjoys a bit of warmth.

Hope to frog enjoys a bit of warmth.

Gary is a little worse the wear, maybe his last resting place was a little hard on him. Will freshen him up a little before sending on his way in the coming week. Think he'll appreciate a warmer climate.

Resting near long grass and tree in a sleepy country town.

Found at flash mob

Back out in the wilds near some water. Frog's like that.

Been sitting here for some time so thought I'd regrab it and give it some more kms.

Back out in the foggy wilds of perth

Acquired.

In a GA friendly place

Got it, these coords were good. Thanks

Try These coordinates instead of what was there originally.

Was a mistake in copying 'E' from GPS

Found on the kitchen table at chwiliwrs.

Found it with a GC cache.

Rated: for Overall Experience

I've dropped off Gary with a new GC cache in the hills. Safe travels!

Gary has been on my radar for a long time, and today I finally managed to get here and grab him.

Wow, this lake has suffered quite a lot since the last time I was here. Gary was no easy find either, and I was starting to worry that I wouldn't be able to pick him up, but after searching the obvious spots and coming up empty I spotted him hanging out at the bottom of the slope, just blending in to the environment.

He wasn't really the micro I was looking for I will drop him off in a new spot very soon.

Thanks for the cache Candy Cane 101!

WanderingAus wandered by on a quick run around a nice lake after deploying a few munzees nearby.

The WanderingMrs had put Gary in a safe place in the caravan to avoid breaking him, but it was so safe I couldn't find him. He finally turned up, so I took him to the lake to release him back into the wild.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 127 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, making our way from Darwin towards Perth via Mount Isa, Townsville, Emerald, Goondiwindi, Gunnedah, Young, Yass and Wentworth.

After a sumptuous $5 lunch at the Wentworth Services Club I left the WanderingMrs there for yet another Line Dancing Workshop. Just for a change I decided to devote the afternoon to cache hunting, With a smaller serve of Waymarking.

As I was heading out of Merbein TomTom alerted me to the presence of a movable frog, so I pulled over and picked him up.

Gary wants to water ski so we brought hime further north.

Good luck.

Swooped on this little fella yesterday.

He's on a road trip today!!

It's a cemetery party tonight for 7 frogs and gnomes all sitting, huddled together, scared witless of what may be going on here when the sun sets. Help them on their way so they don't end up too traumatised to continue.

Dropped by this cache while finishing off the Woodlands series.
But alas it seems that the froggie has jumped but not been updated,
Oh well, cant say I didnt try.

I found Gary while walking through the park doing the Woodlands series. He's coming home with me to be relocated soon.

GCA 518 - 5056. Found this frog after completing the Woodlands Power Trail. He was left here by some friends from Canberra not that long ago who also did the PT.

Left him here for the next finder.

Thanks for the frog...

Off to Melbourne with this fella, to a place likely to draw some more cachers.

Found early morning under the light of a sensor light in a huddle with 4 others. Thanks for the frog. Still in the hands of Winglen.

534. Same name as my brother but I won't hold that against it. Found in the hands of winglen but left there for a hand off to another cacher keen on frogs.

I should have been more sensible and got on with the evening jobs, but... grabbed this one in the dark and rain. Decided to leave the third for someone else since these were all along a bike track Thanks Candy Cane.

All moved

Amazing what jumps into the car when one is out in the bush!

Rated: for Overall Experience

Hopped off in the bush but straight into anther cacher's caboose.

Nice find today among all the Frogs, Gnomes and others over 70 participants as well as the odd human, some of them very odd indeed!
Many Frogs and Gnomes went to Canberra and who knows where from there, and many stayed to be relocated around the Sydney area very soon.

Found at an impromptu Frog and Gnome party in the Blue Mountains.

A great number of frogs, gnomes and other moveables gathered to swap tales of their life on the road.

Thanks for the Frog

Rated: for Overall Experience

What we ended up with was afternoon tea, bags and bags of frogs, and pleasant chats with some very nice cachers - as well as pjmpjm and RogerW3!

Please forgive me if I got it wrong, but I seem to remember pjmpjm, RogerW3, Toriaz and Taiko's family, all at the party. As well as a few young ladies and gentlemen running around and being generally helpful.

We now have many, many frogs to rehome, so the sooner we start the better!

Gary turned up at the Blackheath getogether as expected!

He had lots of company too.

Left him for others to move.

Spotted at the Blackheath frog party - where frogs far outnumbered the humans. TFT

'Gary' is ready to party with all his mates, they cannot wait to meet more old and new friends.
Don't go looking for any of them before 2:30pm on Sunday.

'Gary the green frog' has made his way to Lithgow to visit the Clwydd Headquarters. He is getting ready for the party and the big reunion on Sunday, quite keen to meet old and new friends.
Don't go looking for him he is gone!

Gary is now in Lithgow!

Good luck, Gary!

Hope you enjoy the environs and other frogs.

Great to see Gary again.

But his time in Leura was short.

He just had to go further west -- fast!

Rated: for Overall Experience

Poor little Gary seem to be suffering from some injury, he valiantly tried to pretend it was nothing but the team at the Clwydd Hospital decided he needed urgent attention. He is now all fixed up even if a slightly different shade. As the song says "It's no easy being green!"


Gary on arrival to Clwydd


Gary all better now

'Gary the green frog' has made a short stopover in Leura to meet the local cacher. He will arrange for further travel up the mountains where all the Frogs and Gnomes will assemble for the big party Sunday!
Don't go looking for him he has gone.

'Gary the green Frog' does not seem to be the worse for wear after the humongous party all the Frogs had, they were all very quiet as I bundled them into the back pack. Well there was no way I was going to pay for all those train tickets!

found and will move on

I headed north to make a frog swap, and my crowd settled in where the others had been at Rofe Park. They settled in behind a tree.

Hello again Gary. Off for another move!

Gary headed off to the river with a few friends to enjoy a night out croaking!

Gary seems to have been forgotten poor chap. I decided to grab him and spend the day showing him a few of the sights. He was certainly happy to see me! he can croak pretty loudly when he wants

Gary was feeling a little unloved. I almost refused to look for him thinking he was in someones front yard and knowing this was not Zals place. But I soon found him in a spot I was very uncomfortable with but luckily he was easily found, have moved him on, to a spot where one doesn't need to be watched by living muggles.

FIFO! Grabbed a frog, left a frog on route to a wedding!

Found again on my last frog outing during the race! Heading to a wedding nearby then off to the airport and Europe! Left another nearby to replace it

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

Gary is hiding near the creek.
PS. Gary is not a nano. He is a rather medium, sized frog. About the size of my hand.

Gary was found in Zal's garden. After some confusion as to which garden I spotted Gno-mad smiling at me and my old friend asked if he could come with Gary too. Yep, so both frogs and the gnome have come home with me.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Gary has moved into my front yard to chat to Gno-Mad... a GeGnome from the race last year. He is also sticking close to Gno-Mad as Felix's Fog Hunter is right near by and Gary wanted protection! Feel free to come down the driveway the few steps needed to grab all 3 of them, and if the light is on do come in for a chat!

Gary was another frog of confusion for me as Rich had cheekily snuck in ahead of me and did the ol' switcheroo!

Rated: for Overall Experience

He's moved on the be part of the Cooks River Cycleway power frog trail. Found a nice spot amongst the casuarinas.
