Your challenge is to locate this cache, collect it, run away, make your log and rehide it somewhere else, as far away as possible, and as quickly as possible. When you find it and move it along, please rehide it safely, but provide a detailed hint in your "moved" log so that he can easily found next time. Please feel free to log this cache as often as you wish, as long as you are having fun finding and rehiding it. Of course, you should wait until one other person has hidden it before you can log it as a find again.
There are some simple guidelines:
- When you grab the cache please rehide it within 2 days to keep the cache moving.
- Please rehide the cache as far away from where you found it as possible. The further the better!
- Log your find at Geoaching Australia as soon as you can so others are not trying to find the cache you just moved. When logging your find at geocaching.com.au, please insert the co-ordinates in the coords box. This allows the software to automatically update the new location. Enter your co-ordinates in the format Sdd mm.mmm Eddd mm.mmm You don't have to include the degrees or minutes symbols when entering updated co-ordinates but you should leave a space between the degrees and minutes. Try a copy and paste of the example co-ordinates into the new co-ordinates box and type over them.
Please keep this cache in Australia but feel free to move it interstate if you feel in the mood. Wherever possible, try and keep to the difficulty / terrain rating as originally listed. Of course the best fun about one of these caches is that you don't have to worry about being spotted retrieving the cache. Feel free to be as obvious as you need to be in order to claim it.

Managed to park around the corner and found the phone box, but unluckily no sign of a cache. Possibly not surprising after all this time. Either the previous hider was really devious (though I checked where the hint indicated) or it has been cleaned up sometime in the interim, I don't know how often Telstra clean their phone booths.
Eventually after opening the cache page and using the hint the prince was easily found.

On our way home after picking up e-facit and the frogs in my frog bag were constantly complaining about being in a bag over Christmas. This location is well suited to frogs so prince CHARMing was happy to slip between a couple of rocks and wait for the next finder!
Thanks Bubblzdee
Wattle Park has become a repeat frog hunting ground for me. I came back today as I thought I needed to stretch the legs at the start of my Christmas break. The walk around was very pleasant and as the temperature was climbing the park was pretty quiet, which suited me!
Discovered a nest of frogs... or is that a pod of frogs... hang on... G...O...O...G...L...E.......C...O..M. Right yes it's an army of frogs, or a knot of frogs. Oh I give up!
So four frogs jumped into my bag here. Two others stayed behind as I had already found them, and one from my bag decided to stay here.
Thanks Bubblzdee, I'll hide this one shortly
Beware, there are 4 for 1 in here with 3 quite small ones.
Enjoy the race little froggies.
Dont' stress if you have problems witht he fixing, just send him on the way and if I'm ever nearby the GZ, will sort out myself. Have plenty more charms!
Reviewing my stats I discovered a few that had very few logged words regarding the journey. I like to write a bit, and hate reading my caches logs with little of the story. This one was found somewhere and dropped somwhere on a day when we moved frogs via Geelong, Queenscliffe, Newport (ish) and ultimately to Kilkunda. Thanks for the cache and the opportunity to take this one along for the journey. This one like the 15 or soo others ended up at either Avalon Airport or up a tree at Kilkunda.. Fun was had, however like all good story's they must come to an end.. thanks for the frog..
