Cheeky hide

Sorry it took so long to find it, I haven't looked at movables for a while

Will move ASAP

Well, the experiment was inconclusive. The sample fluid certainly vanished, but was it the frog?
Never mind we've sent him on his way, sober or not. Left him under a bush to continue his journeys. Thought I might have been spotted hiding him but at this particular location, I doubt he'll be muggled

Quick find this morning. A very cute frog we haven't seen before. We've taken the logs out and filled the vessel with an appropriate liquid. Am now awaiting developments!
TFTF

Waiting patiently by the side of the road for his next lift.

Find # 2 for the day. I will place him in another spot later in the day.

Hopping for Champagne is out and about again!

Found it, along with his friends. Will find somewhere along the coast.

Just taking it easy.

A quick find. Cheers, Landy_clan

Seaside location.

Searched high and low until looking back under the rock I'd already searched...cache blindness again. He'son his way to warmer climate on the coast. TFTC..Cheers.

Sighted this frog at the CITO event.

Thought we would rescue Hopping for Champagne as he had been left behind. A lovely frog. TFTF

Oh no, I must have left this fellow in the hidey hole when I picked up his friends. I picked up four frogs, but now find there were five at that location! Oops.

On the Eastern Shore with others.
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 is frog sitting under a tree with Flo Frog. Now, I'm not sure what gender Flo is so I'm not going to label it with either frog so Flo is a gender neutral frog (for the purposes of my log).
Took this frog and Flo frog to Launceston to meet more frogs and for a trip back top Hobart.
I'll have them back out after Tim Tam gives them a health check.

and back out under a tree near a river

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

We have been fascinated by geocaching for years but still don't have a GPS, or a smart phone....But thanks for great clues that made this one easy to find. A real treat for kids. Will try to get hold of a GPS so we can move him on!!! (We left him there for now)

Left Hopping for Champagne in a convenient place to wait for his next ride

Picked up this frogon an early morning walk

Out and ready to go again.

Found this in a letter box guarded by a very friendly cat.

back out

found on a letterbox, so put back in a letterbox

seems to be a fairly breakable item, so he needs to stay away from us....

thanks for the frog and the new blood for tasmania

back where all good frogs go.

couldn't miss the chance to grab a fresh frog.

Hobart....... The frog has landed.

Away we go on a little trip south.

Left for a passing visitor on his way to Tasmania.

Found at West Ryde in Sydney.

Champagne is off to grab a bit of dinner at Maccas

Off to rescue some forgotten frogs today

After a very sad visit to see a friend at RNS Hospital I needed some cheering up. Grabbed the great cache near here then wandered a bit further along the path and found a good Frog Spot! Hopping is now checking out the Tennis at the North Shore Tennis Club!

More Christmas toads! Having a wonderful afternoon on the hunt! Was here just 2 days ago

Ebullient 'Champagne' has decided to pop to this quiet spot for some rest.

'Champagne' was in a festive mood and wanted to travel a bit, so he made his way to Lithgow but he will be on the move again very soon.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Champagne is now in Lithgow!

This will be a nice, cool place to rest over Christmas, while the rest of Sydney is rather warm.

Bon voyage, Champagne!

Yes, I immediately grabbed Champagne.

That infamous bridge wasn't a good place for a little -- rather attractive -- moveable Leap Frog.

Lots of serious day-and-night searching activity there, lots of inquisitive muggles . . .

No, it was better to take him straight to the Blue Mountains.

Drunken frog made his second visit to the bridge of sighs by the cachers' pond of misery. He got picked up by pjmpjm before he could get comfortable!

Champers has been under the root too long and has been drying out on the wagon. Needs to head to another party pronto!

placed under tree root

Shall move him for further drinks

Took him for a drive to Canberra tday but he wanted to come back to peaceful Dural.

Another little frog hiding out at Kenthurst Park.
I thought they would get lonely out here so picked them up tonight.
Looks like this guy had drunk all the champagne though.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Thinking of you while sinking a few, hic!!

He's now been collected and looking for another watering hole.

Champers has moved into the Berry Park frog hollow.

You're coming with me! You're not fit to drive!

Champers liked the look of this park and jumped out. Baktrak was quicker though and grabbed him!

Went to GZ twice and encountered the gardeners at GZ early in the day mpowing spraying weeds and walking in and around the shrubs at GZ. Not sure if they have taken it
however with their focus on cleaning up it is likely
with any luck I was just "cache blind"

Another grab from a great little spot I'd visited last week. Left two frogs in Champers' place and also left another 'frog' just up the road a little.

Left him not far from from the party

There was a lot of noise going on outside and I found Hopping for Champagne being failry free and easy with the bubbly. Party's on!!

Wow, this frog has really moved today He's headed west to join a group of frogs partying under a daisy bush

I was hopping for champagne too when I saw this so close to home. I dashed down only to find the previous finders had drunk it all

He's made the move to a well known frog spot looking over the canal from a pale rock.

Grabbed this on the way back from a morning service call to Wetherill Park. Should be able to find him a new home this afternoon.

HfC came to work with me and said he's had enough for the day. So he hopped out of the car into a lovely park.

Met Black Bunny at the event today and we exchanged frogs. This little frog-let may be hoping for champagne but today all he's getting is water. HfC is with me and refusing to go out and get wet. He told me he is in awe of the pink frog sitting next to him.

Couldn't see it at 1445- but was running late to pick the kids up from school

I did not see this at 18.00 today. Albida

Hopping off for a play in the bush.

A quick *FTF* on a nights hopping around Canberra.

These frogs are starting to breed. Nice to spot Heave Ho on the nights run.

Found in a big bag, with a heap of other disgruntled frogs this morning. One of us had to stay home and mind the sleeping teen.

Loved this one!

Rated: for Overall Experience

It didnt seem believable that this would still be unfound at 6am. I should have known better, but I went hunting anyway. I assume Black Bunny or someone has already been through.

Go forth a hop....
