Leap Frog Moveable Cache Race
This frog is part of the Great Leap Frog Moveable Race from the 1st of December 2011 until the 31st of january 2012.
After the 1st of February 2012 this frog will then become a normal moveable cache.
Fred only wants to travel as far and as wide as is possible, to see as much of Australia (and perhaps the World!) as can be managed.

Moved down the mountains to meet the local Geocacher.
Don't bother looking this one is gone already.

This one has been way too long in the same place, it is time to move along.
Will be moved to a new abode very soon to see an old friend.

This one was found almost by accident while looking for Fabio. The first of ten attempts for the afternoon.
Fred has made his way to the Gnome Gnation and found this congenial spot to rest.
Fred has made his way back to Clwydd for his visa and transport arrangement for his trip to the Gnome Gnation. He is very exited about this as he has been home bound for quite some time.

Bye, bye, Fred . . .
Hope you'll enjoy Clwydd (again) . . .
Bon voyage . . .
Well, well, well. Fred is back. And hiding right near my house!
Thanks to rogerw3 for moving him back up to the mountains.

Fred has made a short move to say hello to an old friend. Don't bother looking for him, he is gone already.
'Fred' is now ready to retire from the mad world of caching, he says he will not miss it but I have my doubts.
'Fred' was very happy to see the group of hardy cachers heading his way. Frogs like some rain but not that much!
He has been picked up and returned home where he will retire, well at least until the next event.

Yes I found him too. Blossom* took him to bring him home safely. I just touched and signed him

Finally found young Fred! He was a bit worried that he'd be left up in the hills but I promised him I'd carry him back home 
Good to pick up one of Rogers frogs on his guided tour today. Great that he also went to the extra trouble of dropping a few frogs along the way to keep our enthusiasm levels high.

It was very thoughtful of Fred to come out of retirement temporarily and meet us all at the 'Lithgow Walk' February 29th event.
Many thanks to CO rogerw3!

Fred wanted to have another go at hiding and being found and hopefully taken back home for a more permanent retirement.
'Fred' is waiting to be relocated for another one off sortie for the 'Lithgow Walk'.
Spotted at the Blackheath frog party - where frogs far outnumbered the humans. TFT 
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.
Fred is returning home, he wants to retire and perhaps do the occasional foray to Frog events.

Another familiar frog in an ocean of other familiar frogs at Blackheath!
Fred was very happy in this company . . .
Good luck, Fred, and thanks for being a frog.

Aww..this has been my nearest-to-temporary-home frog for a week now, thought I'd finally get off my arse and get it.
Too late?
EDIT: ok, google maps makes me think i was looking in the wrong spot/typed the wrong coords! oops!

Nearly the new year. Still time for a couple of moves.
It was a short stumble along the track behind the houses, a chat to the horses and pick up some fifer wood for the pizza oven. Oh bess, and found a frog alone under a log.
Found this while checking out the Christmas caches on The Pinnacle. He looked like he would like a ride in a Corvette so I have moved to somewhere that he might get the chance.
Found in the hands of Corvette Pete up at the Pinnacles, Hawker. This one is Corvette Pete's first GCA cache so he will have to register/log onto GCA and do the necessary paperwork.

Retrieved from the drummers - he was hiding under a Lunchbox! Will drop him somewhere soon.
On the twelfth day of christmas, my true love gave to me........
