Description
This is Reddy Froggy! He is one of my Froggy Army, in "Leap Frog", the moveable cache race of 2011/2012!
Your challenge is to locate this cache, collect it, take it away, sign the log and re-hide it in a different location, taking note of the new co-ordinates. Then you log the details in 2 simple steps:
First Step: Log your find with a 'Found' log - this will give you your smiley!
Second Step: Log the move with a new 'Moved' log, adding the new co-ordinates as well as something useful in the hint box. This will update the main co-ordinates and the hint for the cache listing so that it will update in GSAK and the like.
The rules are simple:
- You can "find" this cache as many times as you like (the more the merrier!) as long as the last move was by someone else.
- A move should be completed and logged with new coordinates and a hint within 2 days please.
The main idea is to keep the cache moving along so please hide it in a terrain and difficulty level that will keep it easily found. Don't forget you can find and move this cache as many times as you like!
(Ps. I think he's personally pink..)

Logs
Wait a minute, there are no DNFs on this one since it was placed at the current location nor, to me at least, does saxonnoah's log of 17 months ago indicate that they did anything other than find it at that location.
While I fully appreciate that it is the CO's prerogative to leave this one archived if they so wish, since when do we start archiving caches simply because they haven't been found (read: logged on-line) for a while?
From my experience, the archive request on this one was possibly not only unwarranted but could result in the creation of 'geotrash' at the given coordinates if the cache is still actually there.
My suggestion is that unless this cache can be confirmed as being no longer at the given coordinates, it be reinstated ASAP.

With the last finder grabbing Reddy and then not placing it back out, it looks like it is lost to the game. The Last finders have not logged in for nearly a year so we will be archiving it.
If Reddy ever appears again the CO can re-enable this cache by checking that it is actually there then posting an 'unarchived' log.

Unfortunately, there's been no find or moved log on this one in awhile now.
Maybe it's time for this one to be archived, or at least disabled, to prevent it continually showing up in searches as being located.

Looks closely related to a previous frog we found ( leap frog light my way )

I was on my way home after a BBQ birthday lunch in Healsville and decided it was time to find some moveable frogs since I had actually forgotten to put one of my own out It was time to move someone elses.
I arrived at GZ and nobody about, I quickly made the find and discovered there was not 1 but 3 Movable frogs here. I grabbed them all and off I went.
I will move these on while I am caching over the next 2 days.
Thanks to Bronnie_1990 for the hide.

I was on another lunchtime frog chasing run today and logged 4 frogs. I have left them all in place as I do not have the time to move on. I will log a moved log however to make sure they are not missed by others looking for frogs. Thanks

After showing all the interstate froggies a virtual tour of Melbourne so they wouldnt get too scared seeing big green things that move (trams ) etc (see photos) we took Reddy frog for a drive and he hopped out of the bag when he saw one of our own frogs looking lonely as we couldnt pick him up!
GPS accuracy wasn't great so check the hint!
Travel well Reddy Froggy!

Felt kinda odd stuffing something down this froggie's throat - but I guess there are worse options!
Hello, little froggie, now go play with the others in the backyard!

Picked up on an evening walk in the hills. A bit blowy, but I had a much better time of it than I did last night!
Finally, some frogs down South. A brisk walk up and down a mountain to collect a swag of frogs. Backpack felt like a Namadgi adventure backpack after a while.
And out he goes for another find. Thanks Bronnie.
Picked up with most of its mates, after waking up early on a Saturday. Thanks Bronnie.
Woke up this morning and went into the study and there was a big bag of frogs. Someone went froggy hunting last night.

Found in a big bag, with a heap of other disgruntled frogs this morning. One of us had to stay home and mind the sleeping teen.
Sadly, the log is a bit tricky to get out, and even harder to get back in. I am not sure of the exact problem, but wouldhighly recommend taking a lot of patience, and some long nosed tweezers with you, when hunting this frog.

Imagine my surprise to log on at 6am and find all these frogs around, without a log between them. It didnt seem believable. I should have known better, but I went hunting anyway but didnt find a thing. I assume someone, probably Black Bunny, has been around and hoovered up all the northside frogs. 
Funny story. When placing him, i ended up chucking him under the bush, as i thought i could see muggles arriving.
He ended up in the perfect place!
