Description
Leapfrog Entry
An entry in the "Moving Cache Race" of 2011-12.
You'll find this little fellow blending in on a red post box.
Please move him on to another similar location, but take care to place him so that muggles won't take him away.

Logs
This geocache appears to be MIA so stop it clogging of the search lists we'll archive this one. If the owner can confirm it is in place the listing can be resurrected by placing an "unarchived" log against it.
We really could have done with a find on this one to help us out with the current Summer Scavenger Series competition on GCA.
As predicted, the cache did not suddenly materialise in front of our eyes.
I am 100% sure it is no longer here.
Maybe the cache owner could contact the previous hider?

Sadly we could find no trace of a frog at this spot.
We don't recall seeing a post box in the vicinity, and if the frog was red, it surely would have stood out.

Dropped Postal Frog off to watch the people and trains passing by.
Found on my desk at work, after calumphing_four put it there. Now where shall this ageing frog head off to?
Passing onto a colleague, but to avoid unnecessary searches in the meantime, letting the frog go for a swim in the gulf.
A frog close to work.
Thought about leaving him there, but decided I should pick him up as there was no log to sign. He's looking quite weathered compared to an earlier photo in the gallery.
Will find a spot soon.
Cheers

Popped Postal back out in another convenient spot. Couldn't get the GPS to stabilise, even over 120 averaged measurements so I'll be specific. He's hidden in between a couple of root buttressess at the base of a Morton Bay Fig. Not the really big gap, the smaller one to the right!
Out for a walk and came across an old friend. Postal's looking a bit more travel worn since I last saw him. Makes me wonder how my flat frog (Matte) is travelling.
It seems Postal has only recently arrived in Adelaide so i won't whisk him off to Tasmania as he toured there extensively during the frog race.

Out with Jac and the hounds to grab a cache or two. A quick grab in the rain today.

Black Bunny and I went out for an evening drive with a couple of dogs, to sniff out some movable caches. Sadly, there seem to be a lot of movable caches that are not where their logs say they ought to be. Luckily, this one was!
We plan to take our collection for a long Christmas drive and set them free somewhere nice.

Caught on the hop and now making its way around Canberra.
#GA217 - 11:35; Picked this little chap up while doing the rounds through Drummoyne. I find as I've grown older how much I love shopping, particularly when the geohoney is the one doing it while I go and pick up a few caches Made my way to GZ and spent a good five minutes looking in mostly the wrong spots, but that was after I had checked the right spot and not come up with the goods first time around. Will get him circulating back in Canberra for a while! TFTC wilco

Out on a day of moveables finding! And the occasional Multi and Puzzle.
No problem locating this old friend, he seemed quite happy where he was so I left him there.

This flat magnetic amphibian is in his element near this water trap on a nice piece of metallic art.
Wow that is a LOT of caches my BB brought home! I would have gone too but some of us had to go to work. Now my house is full of Gnomes, frogs, Bingos and Angels! I’m going to have to do something about this and start hiding them again before they take over our unit once and for all!
Operation: Dawn of War (Clan Phoenix Gnomeland Raid)
Cache Condition: Looks like he has been run over, or was he always red and flat!
Operation Summary: Leaving Sydney at 4am to reach The Gnomelands by dawn I kicked off the 'The Great Mount Piddington Moveable Challenge' with a raid of freedom to release over 60 moveables from their mountain prison to freedom. 4.5 hours of morning caching saw a good few sack-fulls return with me to Sydney.
The caches have been moved to St Leonards for some TLC and a bath so don’t go looking for them there. They will be released shortly in various locations.

I had already looked here for another cache and hadn't noticed this guy! But he couldn't hide forever
Up near the hilltop, and time to wander the Gnomelands ... safely tucked away cache in hand, though a tad disconcerting there was no log to sign(?) - good for a photo op, but left in place.

The first of seventeen in our exploration of a new (for us) loop in Gnomeland.

Another Frog that seem lost in the Wentworth Falls wilderness, this one has been there long enough time to move on. No problems it has now been picked up and will be relocated in a couple days.

Another find in Wentworth Falls . . . not anywhere near an Australia Post mailbox!

A frog! This one's been going for two years now. Mine didn't even see out December a way back then.
The angels (and associated moveables) made their way via Young and Bathurst to Wentworth Falls where they were handed over to the local Blue Mountains authorities in exchange for three rather devious angels which hitched a lift to Sydney.

Picked up at the Yass Service Centre, will head to the Blue Mountains or Sydney.

Down at a transport hub and gone just as quickly
This one has been sitting in Canberra too long so will give him a shove in the right direction for a move to Sydney.

A bit of a chilly start after my trip up north, but it was nice and quiet where these four where hidden. I gabbed them all and will move them on soon. Thanks.

Now on the ACT/NSW border. I am in hiding with 6 other trackables in a plastic bag in a hole under some leaf and branch litter. baby&Mrs gopher have used this location to place trackables before.
Off to the ACT/NSW boarder early in the morning as no-one seems to want to pick us up from here.
Now in residence for a short time at The Rock in GA4962 Cache Movers Home.Will move on if not picked up very soon.
Passed on from Team Ladava at Yarrawonga to baby&Mrs gopher at 1900 to move a little further North.
Picked up by Team Ladava in preparation for an interstate road trip next month.

I picked up this little fella on the way to the office.
He certainly blended in perfectly here.
Nice quick find.

Found this frog and many others during a frog raid encompassing The Domain, Howrah, South Hobart and Mount Stuart.
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.

Brought Postal to the impromptu frog-swap meet on JABs' lawn.
Found this frog, but not before finding TassieTrekkers cleaning up all the other frogs in the area. They hadn't got to this one yet, which worked well for me as it was the only one that I hadn't found yet.
Come with a shopping bag, as there is a small army of frogs to be had in this area. Bring the dog, bring the kids and have fun searching.
Easy find once we had worked out how to access from signal station but found a quicker way out. TFTF

This frog was climbing the walls in the back of my van - was it trying to get away from all the others that had jumped in for a ride?

This frog attended the dragonology picnic party event held by swampy the dragon watcher. An enjoyable day was held by all and swampy took the frogs away to feed his dragon a home?
Found this frog on a trip back from Launceston to Hobart. I will relocate back to Hobart, most likely on the domain.
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.

This frog has reposted himself in the sick centre of Launceston.
had this guy all the way to latrobe but they did not have the right hide so decided to find one on the way home. frankford didn't have one and nor did glengarry! here did though
Back out there. Would appreciate quick pick-up.
Collected this morning. We actually weren't coming into town today but we thought postal frog might appreciate a quick rescue. The other seven frogs we collected were just a bonus!
