Description
This is Kermit Froggy! He's another one of my contestants in "Leap Frog", the moveable cache race of 2011/2012!
Your challenge is to locate this cache, collect it, take it away, sign the log and re-hide it in a different location, taking note of the new co-ordinates. Then you log the details in 2 simple steps:
First Step: Log your find with a 'Found' log - this will give you your smiley!
Second Step: Log the move with a new 'Moved' log, adding the new co-ordinates as well as something useful in the hint box. This will update the main co-ordinates and the hint for the cache listing so that it will update in GSAK and the like.
The rules are simple:
- You can "find" this cache as many times as you like (the more the merrier!) as long as the last move was by someone else.
- A move should be completed and logged with new coordinates and a hint within 2 days please.
The main idea is to keep the cache moving along so please hide it in a terrain and difficulty level that will keep it easily found. Don't forget you can find and move this cache as many times as you like!
Side note: My car is named Kermit. It has no resemblence whatsoever to this cache! :D

Out looking for moveables today. Had an easy find. The frog needs a bit of a clean up and dry out.
Back to the bush for you Kermit Froggy.
Dropped off in an easily accessible loacation.
Dropped off this little froggy to continue its journey
Dropped this froggy off overlooking the lake.
This little froggy has been sitting here for too long, I was happy to finally have the chance to drop past and pick him up. After some to and fro's trying to find the best parking spot, I finally got here.
Thank goodness for the hint because when I found him my GPS said 10m to go, and that's a big search area in this neck of the woods!
I will take him on to a new location very soon, thanks for the cache Bonnie_1990!

Moved him near a picnic spot along Mundaring Weir Rd.
Farrell Grove is a nice spot with fire ring BBQ's, tables etc
and toilets.

Kermit now in a bit of bush setting near a few other caches. Singing "Rainbow Connection" without the swamp.
Found this guy and will move hime on a bit as he appears to have been stationary for a little while. Like the pose.
I'd forgotten I had little kermit. Sorry. Dropped him off on a trip to the hills.
Spent a couple of hours picking up a few of the caches in the area:
Cayden's Cache, Churchman Challenge,CPS-10, CPS-09, CPS-11, CPS-08, CPS-12, CPS-07, CPS-27, CPS-28, Brotus, Kermit Froggy, 3, 2, 1, blast off!, The cache on the moon, You are my sunshine..., Herr Heinrich Holzkopf and finally Never Too Old.
Will move this frog onto a new location soon.

Belated logging of one of the many frogs that had invaded Albury for the Oz Mega event - they all seemed to be having a fantastic time together, catching up on the froggy news and sharing the many stories of their adventures over the last few months.
TFTC - and safe travels...

'Kermit Froggy' has had enough of the mountain rain, he wanted to find a better climate.
Found 'Kermit Froggy' at the "Lithgow Walk" event, he was there with a few friends but decided not to go for the 20km walk and wait in the car instead. Who knew frogs could be afraid of water!
He will be on his way very soon.

Great to see Kermit again at our 'Lithgow Walk' event!
Left him with others who will move him along . . .

Kermit heard about another good event so he's off to see what's happening
Yeah! Kermit Froggy has decided to come with us on a trip, he was pretty bored waiting here by the roadside for passing visitors
Blossom* had decided we needed to go Frog Rescuing today so we stopped off here to visit Kermit. He was pretty happy to see us, he'd got pretty lonely watching all the traffic rush past for the last few months!

Lets see if it is still at the old location, we are happy that Kermit Froggy's owner will archive if necessary.
Is it possible the previous finder can have a look, to see if it's still at it's old resting spot, S33° 42.645' E151° 13.013'? I dont want to archive him just yet
It seems that the last finder only found the frog but didn't place it back out. The coords that he (a guess based on his/her caching name) used are the example coords given to the right of the 'Add waypoint co-ordinates to log:' box.
Also given that he has only a small number of finds, I'm guessing again that he wasn't quite sure of what he was supposed to do when logging the frog.
Maybe the GCA faeries can change the example coords to somewhere like S39 10.193 E147 39.155 (Bass Pyramid) so we can be assured that there is no cache/trig/survey mark there.

Any chance this frogs location could be confirmed. Is he really resting under a Tasmanian tree? Like to be sure before venturing out to awaken him!
Somehow I don't think Mr. Snake's cache is in Northern Tasmania. If it is then its in a locked forest up the north east......
Can the previous hider please check their coords???

Kermit was having a nice rest under the trees.

After a lunch dropped off Kermit up from a couple of other frogs (and Gnomes) He's in between two trees but you may not see him from a distance. Move in closer, there is no camo, he's just well placed.
Found Kermit where Spadefoot was 'logged' and visa versa...Good one Yurt All good now. Picked them up to move them up the coast a little

I hope this one is Kermit - needs a photo. Dropped him off down the back of Thornleigh. Turn off the Comenarra Parkway to Alinta Close and look for the steps. Two flights up step up onto the rock - the frog is hiding behind the upper rock with some leaves. Note that Fran is opposite two metres away.
Went for a run to Beecroft before getting the Xmas tree this morning and grabbed all four frogs in residence.
Dropped in a large frog not far from here.

'Kermit Froggy' has moved to a new address, he is lying down at the head of a log in Beecroft, a spot well known to all Gnome gnappers!
Kermit was a bit too large for a city drop off, so left at the North Strathfield frog exchange.
Went frogging after a long flight back from Perth. Second find for the night. TFTF
Found at the NSW Christmas event. A cute little fellow and good to finally find this one.
Left him at the event for someone else to move around Sydney.
Thanks for the Frog Bronnie

Found at the Geocaching Christmas event in Sydney today.
Left at the event, so that we don't totally denude Sydney of all its frogs in one fell swoop.

Kermit is in heaven, long wet grass and lots of mangroves nearby. Look for the twin gums with smooth white bark
Kermit seemed a bit edgy with so many frogs around and seemed to want to head off yet again
Kermit said thanks as he hopped out and led the froggie brigade inside
Kermit turned up at the Christmas party but was ready to move even further north so I gave him a lift when we left

Dropped into the big NSW Xmas Event for someone to move it on again.
Picked up on the way past & will try to find a new place to drop off very soon.
