Description
Katie Frog
Katie Frog would like to come home. Give her a lift to the North of Melbourne (Greensborough) or anywhere near and you'll have our eternal thanks. There may even be a pathtag in it for you ;-)
Following on from the highly successful Gnome Katie Gnomette GA2884 that my now three year old daughter painted for last years moving cache race I've let her loose on the paints again. Don't say you weren't warned!
This frog should stand out like... well, frogs eyes, unless you're at a paint factory.
So as Katie Frog would say:
You can never have to many colours!!!
This is a moving cache created for the Leapfrog Project game on www.cachinggames.com that runs from 1 December 2011 until 31 January 2012. The game is over. Thanks to all the people that helped by moving and hiding our Frogs :-D
Moving-cache hiding tips:
- When you grab the cache please rehide it again elsewhere asap. 48 hours is a good guide but I know that life sometimes gets in the way.
- Log your find here on geocaching.com.au with a Found it log as soon as you can so others are not trying to find the cache you just moved.
- When you rehide the cache, log a Moved log and put the new coordinates in the "Add waypoint co-ordinates to log:" 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. - Add a hint for the new location in the Hints field when you enter the Moved log.
- Please look after this Frog.
- Wherever possible, try and keep to the difficulty / terrain rating as originally listed.
When you hide it somewhere new, please add a good hint to help seekers to find it.
Finally, have fun. I know I will.
Logs
Don't go looking for her. She's not there. 
It's time for her to be retired and rest up after a well run race. Kate and I will be celebrating her Frogs return by introducing her to Kates Gnome from last years race. Then they can both retire happily into our garden.
Thanks for everyone who helped move Katie Frog and special thanks to geo_jas who hand delivered her to us at the 3rd Leap event.

Taken to the 3rd Leap event and returned to the FO (frog owner) for retirement. Don't bother looking here.
Took a short detour while on the way up for a weekend away near the border. Found quickly by my 6yo twins as her camo doesn't really work very well in the bush. I'll try to drop her off in the eastern suburbs during the week but realistically will probably be next weekend. I'm thinking of dropping her near numismatics 2 but let me know if you prefer a different location. Thanks stagetree for the frog, I'm glad I can help bring her home.

Picked up on a frognapping trip before going to DFO. Will place out again soon.
Picked up by Team Ladava returning home to Sunbury after a very pleasant lunch with our son and daughter-in-law from Berwick.
The frog population has become a little low on the western side of Melbourne so let's restock it a little with the seven we picked up today.
I hadn’t realised when we went searching for this one but we are reunited with the very first frog we found.
Cheers

As I didn't move this cache I have logged it as moved to allow others to see it is still here.
I headed north from work to go and pick up two leapfrog caches and a nearby GC cache – Winding Waters. I parked at the southern car park, grabbed the running shoes and set of down the trail for a short run. At the bridge crossing the creek I deviated onto the dirt path that kept me to the east side of the creek and I was soon close to all three caches. I signed the Leapfrog caches (but did not take them) and then went to find the GC cache. I have been in this reserve once before and I love the area, so I’ll have to come back again for a proper trail run. Thanks.

Hidden whilst out on a maintenance run on 2 of our GC caches. This is quite a popular spot for frogs this season! Use the clue as GPS reception not wonderful!
What a cutie this little froggy is!!! We love her bright colours! She was swapped at the Cape Patterson Kilcunda events and brought back to Melbourne last night where she will go hiding in the next day or so!

Took this frog to today's event at Cape Paterson
As we were driving past here today we had looked to see which frogs were in the area. Noticing this one we had intentions of stopping and made a quick find. Will see how far we can take her in the nest few days.
Katie and a friend are spending Christmas near the beach. To collect her turn into the well marked driveway of the rifle range. Hope they don't eat the pretty purple berries.
Found along with 2 buddies - will move her on in the next couple of days. She sure is purrrrty.
I found this cute and colorful froggie with caughtatwork today. I think this is the most colorful frog I have found. Thank you.

Found and taken at 4:08. A cute and very colourful froggie who will be out and about in the near future.

Farewell Katie, perhaps you will catch a flight from here.
I had a quick look around before I left work and Katie was only about one km away so printed the map and found Katie after a bit of a search without the GPS’r.
Yeehaa, our first froggy after enjoying the logs on the four we published.
We will move Katie along soon.

Katie had a quick leap with me and is now near a creek albeit well above it. Accessible from the bike path or a short walk from nearby streets.
Picked up while riding to work, Katie is a bit of a heavier frog, won't be riding with me for too long!

Katie got lost on the way to Cherry Lake.
She is hoping to take a train back again.
However a ride in the car may be better!!

I was close by in Yarraville when Katie appeared.
I jumped in the car and headed over to find her lying in wait.
This frog is moving on from the pond.

*FTF* with good mate Darian (MRX02) easy find and one of many for the night..
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..
