Ring around a Fanty
A pocket full of froggies
ribbit, ribbit,
we all hop down
(Fanty has been noted as missing. If he turns up - the finder is welcome to give him a home, or reuse him for a GCA cache.)

There once was a leapfrog named Fanty
Who decided to chuck a big tanty.
Hopped away from Ground Zero
With nothing else near (oh)
Leaving poor *blossom with naught but cold tea!

I decided poor Fanty had been languishing for too long in the wilderness on his own and set off on a rescue mission this morning. Unfortunately, I couldn't find him anywhere in the tangle of jasmine vines at GZ 
Damn! And I was up for a pretty good ransom fee too

Found at the fabulous ZEAMMAFF Event! at Concord West, NSW!
Lots and lots and lots of Leapfrogs and gnomes in attendance! It turned out to be a great day for all Leapfrog and Gnome lovers, a great event with great people attending, we all had a ball.
Thanks to Zal for making it all happen!

This was one of many frogs (as well as a few gnomes) that came along to boot Zalgariath back to Europe at ZEAMMAFF. Things were really hopping as more and more frogs arrived during the afternoon, by the time the event had finished, over 55 movables had hopped onto the table. Of course, with that many frogs hopping around in one place, something was bound to happen, and one poor gnome was bumped to the ground, requiring a trip to gnome hospital and a serious stay there, but the less said about that the better.
Being on a quick afternoon frog-hunt in the area, I dropped this movable cache in the spot I found the next movable. Much easier, and even if I am slow logging the find/move (which I was not today), there is still a find available for the next searcher, even if the numbers would be confusing for them.
As I got to GZ there was a frog staring at me out of the leaves in the corner, so I quickly grabbed him and swapped the previously found frog into his spot.
I then Relocated this frog to the spot I found the next movable.

After a nice Xmas, it was time for FR to move along. He was too scared to go over the bridge, so just jumped to the corner of the fence.
Picked up a couple of mate for Xmas, but with Family things going on, didn't get a chance to log them. All good. They're with me

I have a bad feeling about this. Unless some inter-state cacher has been here (but ignored everything else) there is a chance that someone has muggled this lot
Dropped in the usual spot with two mates. You know where.
Went for a short walk and found this guy with very good coords. Grabbed him but didn't drop one off as he might have stayed too long. Didn't manage to get close enough to Flo Frog who was 500m away, rain about.
'Fanty' thought it would be funny to evict the Secret frog from it's cosy little spot. He decided that with plenty of water near by he would be right at home, I did not have the heart to tell him it was brackish water but he will find out soon enough.
'Fantastic Ramplefrog' tried to hide and did a good job of it, but there was no evading the clutches of a desperate frog napper!
He gave up with good graces and the promise of a nice frog friendly spot.

Fanty has left the Froggie mansion and taken up new frog like digs.
Fanty was still waiting, in the company of a family of magpies. Nice to be in this park on a weekday. No muggles.

After an aborted attempt to drop near central station last night due to an inquisitive muffle, I had to drop today. Swapped with GA4045.
Fantie has finally headed off on his own to see the world. He hopped off the train when he heard some croaking in the bushes
Fanty was keen to follow his brother so I took him further north too.
Fanty was at the Christmas party, acting like a little shadow to Mingo - very sweet to see 
Logged down at the NSW Christmas event
Picked him up - he's off on a trip to Sydney tomorrow.

I wonder how we missed this earlier. A quick grab with Just a cacher.
Thanks for another frog Dvixen

Coords and Fanty's presence verified at 5pm AEDT (AEST?)
Have given Fanty the correct image hint, as SOMEONE (not Tiger-monkey) had confused the twins yet again.

As Fanty is still unfound and Mingo is already travelling, going to double check on this one.
