Description
Part of the Leap Frog Moving Cache Race
This tiny little cache protector would like to be moved as often and as far as possible.
There is no log book but the cache code is on the bottom.
This cache is part of the Leapfrog game. The rules are as follows:
- The game commences at 00:00:00 1 December 2011 AEDST and concludes 23:59:59 31 January 2012 AEDST
- You can not find and move your own cache during the game period
- Caches must be found and hidden by the same cacher (i.e. no mailing the cache to another cacher to hide)
- There is no limit to the number of times other cachers can find / move the cache provided there are at least two other finds / moves in between
- If a cacher moves your cache overseas and it remains unfound overseas for 1 week or more, the same cacher may move your cache (within the country or to another country) without breaking the "2 moves" rule
- There is no limit to the distance other cachers can move the cache
- Other cachers in the game may find / move your cache, but they must move it on within 2 days
Happy hunting!

In all, 47 frogs and a gnome were recovered and they will be placed out in the bush tomorrow. Maybe we'll take them to Cockle Creek, NO. Strathgordon or the old Hilton Hotel at Adamsfield! YES. They are good places.

I picked up this fine fellow from Tassie Trekkers at an impromptu frog-swap-meet on JABs lawn!
This would be one of the neatest frog caches I've seen - but no log book inside?!?

Amazing who you meet while frog hunting we had a frog meet on Jab's front lawn, handed to gorbak.
Another army of frogs has landed. Go Eastern shore cachers!!
Found this cache and rescued from a fate worse than death : a trip to the mainland of Australia. Actually found a large group of frogs that had been surrounding the event at the beltana on Friday night.
Thanks for the frog
Mr Frog jumped out of the pond one day
And found himself in the rain
Said he, "I'll get wet and I might catch a cold."
So he jumped in the pond again.

The plane has landed and the frogs jumped into the hire car for a lift back to town.

We have you surrounded. Come out with your gps' on. We know you are in there at the event.
Overlooking the rivulet where he'll feel right at home. I could hear the frogs nearby.
I was the cache protector's protector...or saviour? I'll bring him back to town. Thanks for checking and the extra info Jabs. Made for a quick find - even so, I wondered initially if he'd gone - he was hard to spot! Small but oh so cute!!! I enjoyed meeting this little fellow...thanks Greenish.
Guess I checked on cache today to find it still in place. When standing at GZ there should be a small shrub approx 1.5 meters to your left, he is under a group of three boulders now with three smaller rocks piled in front.
Searched for a good 25 minutes and found Frognome but couldnt find the cache protector. We searched everywhere according to both hints and nada! 
Decided the views were better from this side of the river.
The cache protectors got wind of the fact that there was a new cache in the area and wanted to hop on over there to check that it was ok. They have stayed in the general area to protect the new cache - but will be ready to move on to the next leg of Leapfrog once they are offered a lift.
Ah, frogs that we have met before in another incarnation! They hopped home with us after the Hoppy New Year event and may have been led astray by the other frogs who also stayed the night - then again, maybe they were the party instigators . . .
Walked past this one yesterday and then today realized its been found by 2 others and was therefore fair game. Sirius came up with the goods and put a smile on Quilters face that there is at least one frog left in Hobart.

The cache protector is now relaxing and enjoying the view. He has a magnetic personality, which helps. There are also other frogs nearby, so don't stop at one.
While wandering around wondering about the accuracy of the coords, a voice calls from a nearby window, and highlights the collection of croakers sitting on the letterbox. Having gathered up the whole lot, I'd better go in search of bathroom fittings (which is why I REALLY left the house (yes really ... frogs had nothing to do with it!)), and then I'll hide them. Love the frog and froglings, and am impressed with the size of the ammo can!
There are 9 frogs available for collection. we are having an open christmas tea, so anybody who wants to collect these frogs please call by and collect and feel free to stay and chat and have bote to eat. after 9pm these will be in the letter box
Found on the way home from a Christmas dinner on Christmas eve. Thanks for the perfect hide as I was going from sorell to the city.

I dont think you were watching us collect this frog as you would need to be up early to catch us. Found at 0700 on the way to work. TFTF.

Must have blinkers on when i was here with swampy. Quick find this time round and he seems to have gained some bits. Will rehide soon
It's magnetic and under the metal table with the bullrush chairs. There's a track through from the end of the bridge
Lots and lots of places to look - gave up after a while as we didn't want to trash the place...
this is so cute and tiny, we almost missed it. It looks bigger in the photo

The Cache Protector is now stopping the pine bark going into the cache. Watch the closing time tho...
This is such a great little frog cache. Loved it. Now back out for someone else to enjoy. At a junction and deciding which way to go.
Back near the water where he is happiest. Hiding under a little ledge, peering out at the view.
Found the little guy looking a bit frustrated that no trains were coming by!
Waiting for a train to arrive so you better be quick before he hops on board. Hiding in some rocks near a pull off area.
Hmmm, this area is familiar too...
Swiped the frog whilst Tim Tam was trying to make sense of the GPSr readings...
Thanks for the frog

Hmmm I found a hiding place that is obvious if you go around back. I don't think many people do.
A nearby frog. How can I resist. I can't. Quick find thanks to lateral clue.
A very neat little of frog greenish. Very nice indeed. I was half expecting a log book and pen inside.
Thank you for the frog greenish and thank you old saint for the nearby hide.

Thank you OldSaint for having this frog. I thought I might have been the first to lose a frog!
Hi Greenish
Saw a couple of misses on this cache so I thought I'd have a look anyway. Travelled over the Hump and got to ground zero very quickly.
Had been here before and oh! How close was it! Oh! So, so close!!!
Very few muggles in the area made it easy to look around today. First glance was not quite on the mark but up and under a terrific little frog was riding another frog. Cute! Cute! This is a beauty Greenish. Well done.
Looked for log and pencil inside but nothing there.
A very quick find at 1503hrs. Then tried logging it and logging the move with my phone for the first time just to keep it on the move. To my surprise it worked.
TFTC and Cheers; OldSaint.

Had a look for this one but couldn't find him. Hope someone has collected him already...
GPS all over the place but came up with a great frog. Hope there wasn't a log sheet as cache was open. Will move on soon. Found at 1630.
