Convict Frog is now a free froggie

Oooh Young Convict Frog promised me he would be really, really good for the rest of his life if I would take his bison tube off his leg and since, he seemed sincere, I obliged.

Go free little frog

'Convict frog' is now very close to home, he has promised to be good!

'Convict Frog' must have known I was nearby, I could hear his piteous cries for attention from a long way off. As I got near he promised to be good and never to escape again, the life on the run is not all he expected and all he wants now is to return home and never run away again.

Moved to a spot in Parramatta Park. Sorry to have kept him so long.

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

A dinki-di, true-blue Aussie frog if there ever was one . . .

And visiting Blackheath for the informal frog-and-gnome event.

Great to make his acquaintance.

I left him on the table afterwards, for others to move . . .

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.

Well, Mr 007, there be no more froggy behind the sign. It be gone into the hands of a mad biker, Cooeeee.

My name is bond. James Bond. Q tells me that there are frog behind this sign, but don't try for them. I suspect that they are gone already.

I've got this one. There was a magnificent sunset I was going to photograph after picking this up. Once back at the car my GPS went from day to night mode indicating that the sun had set and it was dead on. The sunset had gone from magnificent to mediocre in a matter of 2 minutes.

A couple of frogs for southsiders!

Found this one at today's Event.

We had the finish line for the Canada-Australia Travel Bug race today.
several frogs were in attendance and they were the stars of the show while we all went into a frog signing frenzy. I didn't get time to know each frog but I did make my mark. I making my mark I inadvertently made one frog eligible for the Frog Hospital. Not this one though.

Found this one at the event today TFTC

Found this guy at the geocaching event/frog signing frenzy at John Knight Park this morning. What a cute little critter!

Thanks for the froggy fun!

after resisting the temptation, to move him to the middle of woop-woop (You all should be lucky i couldnt find any hiding spots!), i decided to take him to an event today, so he could meet more frogs.

Dont go looking for him until 10. If you go now, you'll be wet, lonely, and frogless.

Yes! Not every day I can beat the rest of canberra to a new frog!

Really, it was only an hour or so away. And there's nice bakerys and lolly shops in braidwood too, so that was my temptation to get it.

GPS was originally pointing at a different 3 trunked tree, so after getting more grass seeds in my hair/skirt/anywhere, i did the "Get more accurate, GPS!" dance, and it guided me to another tree, where Convict Frog was like "Well hellooooo? Anyone going to save me out here?"

Now, like the proper convict he is, he will be deported to Canberra. God only knows what could happen there.

Waymarking in Braidwood today so dropped this felon off - at one stage half the population of Braidwood were convicts.

Yeah!!!!!!!! Convict Froggie is saved Great work Tuena

I had known this frog was in the area since its arrival but had deduced that it was in a GC cache that I had placed on my Ignore List since publication. Received a PM from Blossom* asking whether I could look for it so went & had a look at the GC entries & noted that a finder had given co-ords that had proven accurate. Decided I'd give it a go.

Arrived a GZ & found the cache but no frog. Bugger or words to that effect. I looked under the cache, around the stump but to no avail. Nature intervened at this time & as I was standing around listening to the birds, I saw something out of place about 3 metres away. Decided I'd better apprehend this felon before he made good his escape.

He was sitting on the ground in the open with just a few strategic leaves for cover.

So thanks to Blossom* for the communication, otherwise he'd probably be incarcerated here for the term of his natural life.

PS: The logbook had been signed on 30/12 by a local non GCA cacher so it is probable that where I found him is where he was hidden.

Sorry - didn't look for this one after recording a froggy DNF nearby. If it is moved then will add it to my list.

Found at the safe house, Froggie was scared but assured him i was not the police...hahaha

Spotted the frog and he took off in fright into the bush!

This little escapee is hiding in the bush away from the authorities. He's in front of a safe house where he's looked after.

Found this little escapee trying to hitch a ride. I'll keep him safe until Saturday where he will go south to escape custody. If that's too long to hold him I'll pass him on and have him gone by Friday. Tha ks.

'Convict Frog' has escaped custody yet again, he is considered unarmed and not dangerous, you can approach him as you see fit.

Very pleased to meet this dinki-di frog in the company of rogerw3!

Despite his log and chains he seems to be making good progress!

Thanks to Strike-a-light.

'Convict Frog' has escaped from goal and is on the run. I will do my best to keep him moving around to escape capture.
He will be moving again soon.

The convict has escaped my grasps and hopped off before I could catch him.

Almost didn't find him, cool frog. Found him on the way home from work.

Convict has made his first move off to Central Gardens

Found this poor little late starter hiding by the banks of a canal. On to a classier area tomorrow.

Poor old Convict Frog has dragged his leg iron down to the river but is stuck by a fence. Please rescue him and give himn a bit of a leg up
