The evil Emperor Bufo Anura Bendemeer, New South Wales, Australia
By 5LittleJacks on 01-Dec-11. Waypoint GA3853

The Evil Emporer's one red eye stare was becoming a bit disconcerting.... Dunno what his plans were but ours were pretty simple - let's ditch this freaky frog. Dropped off at a rest area with a big parking spot. A short walk along a track will get the next (un)lucky finder in the evil one's sight.

Gee, I'm not sure we're ready to take on all the baggage of this evil one eyed fiend but as he was hiding with two others I thought I might be gnawed off at the knees if I didn't. Hope to move along sooner rather than later... TFTM 5LittleJacks.

Cache has now been found and handed off to another local cacher who will move it on shortly...

As usual, GCA moveables left at a GC Mega can sit around for a while...look at the number of trackables still listed at any Mega.

Any moveables still listed at the Queanbeyan Mega are currently being rounded up and will be moved on as soon as possible.

3 months since last seen, needs archiving

Quite a freaky cache but happy to find it on the moveables table at the Clear Waters Event in Queanbeyan. TFTM 5LittleJacks.

My trip to the Mega was great, found lab caches which while like gadgets are new icons to me. Found some great caches and brought back some neat ideas for new caches in Tasmania.

Now in Bendigo

Gotcha

Picked up along with quite a few others and they are now all on their way to Bendigo via Echuca over the next couple of days.

Having had a smooth trip on the Spirit of Tasmania, and an equally smooth trip by vehicle northwards, this moveable is now comfortably residing at Shepparton until it is collected to continue its journey

We are keeping him moving, your legs are temporarily safe.
We collected this one last night in Devonport, after a lovely farewell dinner with 2y’stassies
Today he is on board the Spirit of Tasmania to start a new adventure on the mainland
Thanks for the opportunity of moving him
And hopefully another footstep towards my destination

On our recent trip to the south of the state we collected up a few moveable caches, today they were passed on to another team who will help them continue their journeys, thanks for travelling with us for a bit

Out and about again in the south of the state. This was a quick find in a location we've visited before to collect moveables, we seem to have collected up a few moveable caches this weekend and will move them towards the north of the state in the next few days. TFTC

Journey or Destination

Game Period: 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST

It is sometimes said [citation needed] that the game of geocaching is not about the destination it is about the journey. This game is about the choices you make in the experience of the journey or the destination.

On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing field with a number of ground tiles. Your playing field is a grid 20 x 20 ground tiles making a total number of 400 possible steps you can take on your journey or destination. You choose whether you want to find and follow the path or whether you wanted to meander around. A playing field is unique to each player so there is no benefit in teaming up to beat the system through brute force.

For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath. There are a number of different ground tiles that will be revealed when you click on your playing field. It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile.


Dirt. The ground beneath the ground tile is just plain old brown dirt.

Dirt with some points. The ground beneath the tile is brown dirt but it has some points associated with it.

Concrete. The ground beneath is part of the pathway that will lead you on your way to your destination but has no point value.

Start. A concrete ground tile that has a blue map marker.

Destination. A ground tile that has a green map marker.


Meandering around and avoiding the path will accumulate points that will be used to place on you the ladder of wanderers. The more you stay off the path the higher the number of points you will accumulate and it will be your journey that will be the determining factor in whether you place into a prize winning position. You are free to select any ground tile to click on; they do not need to be next to each other.

Trying to find the path may mean you strike out on the dirt until you eventually come across the path and as a geocacher who can't say that this isn't a tried and true method. Once you find the path however will you try and follow the path as it changes direction around your playing field? Do you go North, South, East or West to try and find the next concrete tile along the path? If you head one way are you heading towards the start or towards the destination? When you do happen upon the destination tile then you will automatically be in a winning position.

At any point you are free to change from the journey to the destination and vice versa but you won't be able to regenerate your playing field. You are also free to keep playing as long as you have qualifying geocaches, accumulating more and more dirt tile points and placing you higher and higher on the ladder.

Qualifying geocaches fall into two categories. Finds and Hides.

A qualifying find is a geocache that meets the following criteria:

The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia

The geocache has a hidden date prior to the game commencing

The geocache was logged by you on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period

The geocache was physically found by you during the game period

The geocache is not owned by you unless it is a moveable geocache

The geocache has not previously been found by you during the game period

The geocache is one of the following types:


Burke and Wills

Moveable (you will qualify only once for a find on a moveable geocache)

Traditional

TrigPoint

Augmented Reality

Beacon

Gadget

Multi-cache

Night Cache

Podcache

Reverse

Unknown or Mystery



A qualifying hide is a geocache that meets the following criteria:

The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia

The geocache has a hidden date after the game has commenced

The geocache was published on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period

The geocache has a container size of regular or larger (Note: A regular geocache has a volume of 1 litre or more)

The geocache is one of the following types:


Moveable

Traditional

Augmented Reality

Beacon

Gadget

Multi-cache

Night Cache

Podcache

Reverse

Unknown or Mystery



The game tracking mechanism relies upon your honesty when logging geocaches as found or hidden.

The games administrators will undertake verification of a statistically significant number of logs.

Players who continually log inaccurate information will be disqualified from the game. The game administrators decision is final.

The game administrators will subtract qualifying hide or find geocaches from your tally if they are found to be not genuine.

The game administrators reserve the right to provide clarifications to the rules at any point during the game.

Don't forget to claim your limited time game trophies, if your qualify, while the game is in progress. Once the game completes the ability to claim your trophies is lost for ever.

Out and about on a beautiful Tassie summer day. Over the last few weeks we seem to have collected up a few moveable caches and decided today was the day to get them all back out again. Happy travels

A quick find by mr sharnie's tribe flying solo on a work day. Needed a find today to fill a gap on our DZ calendar and ended up with eight! We'll get these out again at the weekend

The Evil Emperor is back out again waiting for the next cacher to come along, happy travels

Collected on a quick trip through Ulverstone, will get the evil emperor back out again within a couple of days. TFTC

The evil emperor has attached himself to 3 gnomes and is awaiting the next lift.

Found the Evil Emperor hiding under some bark and had just extracted him and was about to leave the area when a black Woolies shopping bag was spotted nearby in a burnt out stump. On inspection it was found to contain a number of moveable caches that still appeared to be hidden in the bush at Mornington. Not sure if these had been picked up by a cacher who put the bag down and forgot it or had picked up sometime ago and not logged as picked up or moved. We will take them on a trip and get them out again.

Hi 5LittleJacks
Found and collected this cache and took him away from NEVILLE, who is still crying as I wouldn't take him with his friends
Had trouble getting his mates together for their next ride as they were enjoying some, NO - a lot of FRANKS when I got there!

Will put it back out ASAP, but a game of bowls first today

I found this with Nevilles' owner, the last time I had Neville round my place he drank his fair share of my beer so god knows what the The evil Emperor and him got up to before Goose got home.

A different looking cache i must say, thanks for letting him loose.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Since his retirement, Neville keeps having parties at home when I go off to work. I leave him sitting quietly and then come home to him and his mates yahooing all over the front garden. Fortunately he only had 6 movables visiting him so things were not too out of control....... this time! (Neville is a gnome who retired after the GeGnome ][ Electric Boogaloo game a few years ago).
Thanks 5LittleJacks for this movable. The evil Emperor Bufo Anura will be moved along shortly.

We have returned from a seven week trip to the Mainland after attending the Mega at Morisset. We found a few moveables while caching and this is one we brought back for a tour around Tasmania. The Evil Emperor Bufo Anura we left attending a welcome to Tassie party hosted by resident gnome Neville at Howrah. Happy travels.

Look what we found out the back of Bourke a big evil gold froggy. Will take south. TFTM

Buffo has moved to become emperor of a new area and has brought a few others to be his kind-of-loyal subjects. Loyal until someone rescues them from the evil emperors spell.

My kids wanted to meet up with me down at this beach but we were running late to join them so I decided to stop and see if I could find a couple of moveable caches here. Found one but not the other. Found a LOT of rubbish too. And needles! Take care when looking for this cache.

On this day I went out to do some caching with Geoson. We found those we wanted out and about but I'd also heard of this cache and needed a physical find for the day so headed over to "find" and log the cache in the late evening. Signed for both Skypirate and I (although he hasn't as yet set up an account). Very cute cache container but my first impression was an emperor cane toad.

#GA538 - 15:00; I had dropped the geohoney to an appointment and continued off on the day's mission to fill a couple of hours while I waited for her. I decided to head down to La Perouse/Little Bay to have a look around an area I had not visited before ands perhaps grab a cache or two while I was at it. I picked up a couple of the local trigs and decided a walk along a nearby pathway might be productive. This was the fourth of five I collected on the journey. TFTC 5LittleJacks

Finally on the move again, took the chance to move him down to La Perouse along a nice little walk above the waters of Botany Bay. Should be safe down here for a while.

Dropped off at the GCNSW monthly meeting, already gone dont come looking!

Another one I had earlier during the races, still grabbed it again from Zal last night to find another home for hopefully soon.

Wow that is a LOT of caches my BB brought home! I would have gone too but some of us had to go to work. Now my house is full of Gnomes, frogs, Bingos and Angels! I’m going to have to do something about this and start hiding them again before they take over our unit once and for all!

Operation: Dawn of War (Clan Phoenix Gnomeland Raid)

Cache Condition: The Evil Bufo Anura is looking radiantly evil... though Zhaoy says he is missing the coin that should be in his mouth!

Operation Summary: Leaving Sydney at 4am to reach The Gnomelands by dawn I kicked off the 'The Great Mount Piddington Moveable Challenge' with a raid of freedom to release over 60 moveables from their mountain prison to freedom. 4.5 hours of morning caching saw a good few sack-fulls return with me to Sydney.

The caches have been moved to St Leonards for some TLC and a bath so don’t go looking for them there. They will be released shortly in various locations.
