Description
Leap Frog Moveable Cache Race
Flattie the Frog is really very flat and he loves to stick upside down, for this purpose he has been equiped with magnets.
This frog is part of the Great Leap Frog Moveable Race from the 1st of December 2011 until the 31st of January 2012.
After the 1st of February 2012 this frog will then become a normal moveable cache.
Flattie only wants to travel as far and as wide as is possible, to see as much of Australia (and perhaps the World!) as can be managed.
Flattie Frog would like to come home to Sydney, any help will be appreciated.

Logs
Flattie Frog has now been removed from its last hide and is now retired. Thanks to all finders and movers.
This was the 2nd of the three new moveables in this area for me today. It took a few moments to hone in on the find but a read of the hint finally had me with Mr 
in hand at 09:20. I've posted the coordinates I took but the sound wall might be affecting the reading.
After signing the log, I replaced it where I'd found it.
TNLNSL. Thanks rogerw3.

Dropped of on a walk on this warm morning. Flattie was reading 33 deg when I dropped him off.
Picked up with a bunch of bingo caches on a lunchtime walk. Will move on soon(ish). Thanks for the frog.
Swapped along with a few bingo racers
Cheers gordo

When you are in Sydney for one night, what do you do? Swap Frogs of course
I found this with many friends at around 11:00 today and made the swap when no muggles were watching. I placed 13, Blossom* placed 11. Fair enough
Thanks rogerw3 and thanks for the organisation Blossom*!!

All the frogs had heard that a visitor was coming to town and were very keen to show him the sights. And with the Sydney Festival on, there are plenty of sights to see!
I dropped them off at the gates of the Botanical Gardens this morning so they could make plans and book tickets. It was agreed on a general tour around and then an evening climb on the Harbour Bridge

I went over to meet up with Flattie again this afternoon and rescued him from the clutches of one of last year's gnomes

Part of the Froggy Honour Guard that can to see me off at my ZEAMMAFF Event! 
One of the more memorable frogs at the Event! And certainly the more odd
I was so happy to see more than 50 Frogs & Gnomes show up for the farewell! I logged as many as I could as I wont see them again before the end of the race. Thanks to everyone who came, human, amphibian and Gnome
A great time was had by all and it took over an hour to sort and sign all the caches who Blossom* made sure found a good safe home
Cheers, and see you in 6 months!

This rather flattened little fellow was one of many frogs (as well as a few gnomes) that came along to boot Zalgariath back to Europe at ZEAMMAFF. Things were really hopping as more and more frogs arrived during the afternoon, by the time the event had finished, over 55 movables had hopped onto the table. Of course, with that many frogs hopping around in one place, something was bound to happen, and one poor gnome was bumped to the ground, requiring a trip to gnome hospital and a serious stay there, but the less said about that the better.
Moved to the ZEAMMAFF Event! at Concord West, NSW.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
Found near Prospect, together with rogerw3, on the way to the ZEAMMAFF Event!

Flattie misses Australia's Wonderland so much that he thought he would visit
Flattie found some new digs not far from some real frogs.
Well there I was sitting in my car after just having retrieved 2 frogs, about to go home, when in comes a frog alert. Some croakers are on the move. WHAT?????? A frog 50 m from where I'm sitting. Well how damn lucky is that. Now thanks to the fabulous GCA app. I saw that not only was this one 50m away but there were about 5 new frogs all in the vicinity. I like Flattie a lot... he is rather unusual. Lucky I knew where his hidey hole was cause it would have been a sight seeing me scale the tree in high heals and a dress.

Flattie has moved to the 'flatlands' from the Blue Mountains!
I'm sure he'll be pleased to meet new friends who can take him on long, long trips!

Grabbed Flattie this morning while driving down to The Hills to attend a function.
He's indeed quite two dimensional!
Will now consult with rogerw3 on his next movement, to try to maximise his kilometres.

Left this guy to look at the views across Sydney.
From one river to another. I have put flattie in a spot close to the Nepean River in Jamisontown. Ready for another finder to collect him.
Found at the NSW Christmas event. A cute little fellow and good to finally find this one.
Left him at the event for someone else to move around Sydney.
Thanks for the Frog rogerw3

Found at the Geocaching Christmas event in Sydney today.
Left at the event, so that we don't totally denude Sydney of all its frogs in one fell swoop.
