Oops! Forgot to grab this cute little guy until now. After taking him along on a trip to the northwest, he's back in the Bay Area. I can get him a bit further south - at least to southern California. Raptor and I were in Australia a few months ago, and saw a platypus in its natural habitat. They're really cool (and a lot smaller in real life than I'd imagined they would be). 🙂

Just missed a ride with another of Rexy's TBs headed down under - but lets see if we can do something to help at least get him headed in the right general direction (e.g. to an airport TB hotel? 😉)

Grabbed Boondaburra from the Randall Museum/Corona Heights cache (GCM92J). We can't get him "Down Under", but we'll try to move him to a California travel bug hotel to pick up transit.

Took Boondaburra from near the Charles River in Boston. He is now in Maine. Will be dropping him off in a cache in California during August. Will let you know.
