Description
My namesake frog and my first cache in WA
I have been pretty excited to move to WA and start my new job. At this just so happened around the time of the Leapfrog race. I've moved some frogs from NSW and now fluffyfrog will be my first WA cache. Not sure where I will live in the Perth area so it is good to start out with a moveable.
Have fun and look forward to even more caches during my time in WA.
Logs
Apparently hidden in cacher's front yard 10 months ago. Perhaps no longer in circulation?
Hanging out with some forms of transport
Now in a far better place "free ranging" as a frog should!
Somewhere nice TimTam and you put him in Cygnet???
(TeHeHe from a guy from Huonville!!!)
Found accidently and will move on soon.
Cheers OldSaint.

So the plan was for this frog to go north but he couldn't find anywhere nice enough that he wanted to stay so he came home and headed south instead.
Given to me by Swampy to come along on my trip up the northwest later in the week
Found and nabbed at the 12/12/12 event in Hobart and taken to show TimTam.
I'll let her rehide all the frogs after we have both logged them.
Thanks for the frog!

Not much water here so he is sheltering under the roof.
Left this fellow to do his froggy thing in Kate Reed Reserve.
Found this croaker on our morning constitutional with the geopups. We will move him on ASAP.

One of 7 frogs placed in this area, a beautiful day to be out and about.
One of 4 frogs we found today along a track beside the river. Very nice spot for frogs. TFTF

A nice quiet stretch of river to look over and plenty of shade.
Time for a move and change of scenery. Must have been very uncomfortable in the metal prison.
Finally moved Fluffy from the back seat into a new hide. Not very original but hopefully he won't be here long.
Collected "Fluffy" today whilst in the area. This is the second time we've met. Sun was shining last time as well but that's the only similarity.
We'll see if we can find this WA frog a warmer locale!

Fluffy will need to be very fluffy to enjoy this subalpine Lake in central Tasmania. The lake is full of ice and carp hence no fishing allowed meaning that fluffy's hiding place is right next to a little used boat ramp. Fortunately the location is a pretty place with a campground with good facilities and an over abundance of crisp weather. Happy hiding fluffy, enjoy the water view.
Fluffy frog is a long way from his Western Australian home and has camped next to the Mersey River just waiting to share a meal with a platypus. The time has come to leave this beautiful part of the world and explore Interlaken on the highlands.
Found all tucked up in a great park area...TFTC...cheers.

Handed to Tassie Trekkers while holidaying at the shack.
Took a detour on the way home to rescue this cute frog from the cold and wind. Searched in the dark, no muggles around. TFTF.

Close to the carpark for the next finder!
Met this fellow with a group of other frogs and a gnome or two at a lovely caching dinner.
Found Fluffy hopping around on the table during the "Butterfly Lady & Radionut50: Tassie Eventing Take 2" event at Hobart.
After being laid up for over a week I finally got this to another cacher to continue its journey.
My apologies for keeping it so long
Cheers OldSaint.

Hi fluffyfish
Just as they said, 2y's Tassies did a good job of hiding this croaker and his friend.
It made for a quick and easy find at 1215hrs.
Will post pictures tomorrow.
Great cache.
Cheers OldSaint.

Well it is time for fluffyfrog to get out and about and enjoy what Tassie has to offer. Although it is cold and sleety, we have given fluffyfrog a sheltered interim home.
We had visited this area before when we went to the Mount Direction semaphore station site to find some caches. Today the walk wasn't as long as we were able to make a quick find in the early morning, helped by fluffyfrog's radiating personaility. It was good to meet this recent arrival to Tassie. We will plave fluffyfrog in a new location very soon so she can continue her exploration of the island and she can meet other geocachers.
The fluffy frog is now residing under a walkway to a local historical destination. Perhaps he/she will return to the mainland and complete a circuit for their owner?
Frognapped, along with a couple of mates. Reckon they're getting a bit tired of sitting behind this bush, watching the traffic go by. Good thing the local kids are too lazy to walk round and retrieve all the balls that appear to have come over the retaining wall, otherwise I suspect these frogs would have been gone.
A minor detour on the way home and a new resting place for this cache was found. A few more kilometres on the final day of the race.
You can find the frog next to the retaining wall, under some leaf litter, behind a bush.

Picked up fluffyfrog at the end of the working day, a quick find thanks to where Mr. Wileyclan dropped this cache off. Now off to home, I think a quick detour on the way will find a new resting place for this travelling frog.
This is my 100th GCA cache, a nice milestone to finish the frog race on.

Went chasing a GC cache in the hopes of those elusive first to finds. While there I met up with FelixII who had some frogs that wanted to visit Garden Island. No problems, on my way there shortly in fact!!
Thanks for the frog

We picked up Fluffy today (28th Jan 2012) and realized we had signed the log at the Froggy event in Kings Park and had missed logging it so putting in a late find.

I had been watching this froggy for a while, and when I saw that it had been picked up from Australind and dropped at The Vines, I was off like a shot!
Rushed in and picked up this froggy and another, and left the rest of the loot behind. I was happy to find this in the first place I looked, having spent a long time looking in grasstrees for the GCA at this location initially!
I will move this on to a new location very soon! Thanks for the frog fluffyfish!

fluffyfrog is starting off this new year hanging out with some friends including GEOseppi De Frog II, Farr Frog & SpatialKermint. They are all visiting my 10th Anniversary cache "Grass Tree Giants". I hope you all have safe travels & enjoy moving around during 2012! I'm looking forward to getting "Outenabout" a bit more this year! Happy New Year to all cachers & caches(especially the frogs!)
picked up this froggy & his 2 mates to return them up to the big smoke soon. I think they enjoyed the view and eating a few mossies during their stay. TFTH
SpatialKermint convinced fluffyfrog and GEOseppi De Frog II to rest here and enjoy the sunset and sunrise.
Found just after 9am - GEOseppi De Frog dropped in and said hello to GEOseppi De Frog II and was quite surprised to find SpatialKermint and fluffyfrog lurking here as well. After a quick catch-up, we all waved goodbye to GEOseppi De Frog and this nice bush spot so close to the highway.
Signed log (after some difficulty removing the scroll), thanks fluffyfish

Sitting behind a small stump under an information sign near a ship lookout. The lookout has a nice view of Koombana Bay. Shame I can't see it!! Will someone move me so I can...please?
Poor little frog, he looks scared stiff. Most likely because the big brute Terracroaka turned up right here in the same spot.

A quick grab and off we go fluffy on a road trip.

Mr Felix took a long detour on his way home from work today to try and grab this guy, but looks like somebody beat him to it. Found an obvious spot for the guy to hide out but he wasn't there!
Found $2 though
