Description

If you can abide by the rules below please help to keep him moving in the race.

Rules (not guidelines)

Caches for the competition must be published on 1 December 2011 Australian Eastern Time (GCA Time)
Geocaching Australia has the facility to automatically publish your cache on 1 December 2011
Please refer to the Geocaching Australia wiki for more information
The game commences at 00:00:00 1 December 2011 AEDST and concludes 23:59:59 31 January 2012 AEDST.
The game administrators decision is final.
You can not find and move your own cache during the game period.
Caches must be found and hidden by the same cacher (i.e. no mailing the cache to another cacher to hide).
There is no limit to the number of times other cachers can find / move the cache provided there are at least two other finds / moves in between.
If a cacher moves your cache overseas and it remains unfound overseas for 1 week or more, the same cacher may move your cache (within the country or to another country) without breaking the "2 moves" rule.
There is no limit to the distance other cachers can move the cache.
Other cachers in the game may find / move your cache, but they must move it on within 2 days.
If this is the first time you have joined in the moveable cache race please abide by the rules and keep him moving within 2 days of you finding him. To log any of the moveables in the race when you find them simply log a found log as you would normally. This will create a green tick symbol and let other cachers know not to go looking for him as he is not at the last listed co-ordinates. When you place him at his new hidey hole. Please enter a 'moved' log, this will put a blue arrow symbol meaning he is back in play. You need to enter the co-ordinates at this time of his new hide. Under the log you will see a hints section for you to enter for his new hide. This will be encrypted once you submit the log as you are used to seeing.

On a trip up to Busso for a job today, wouldn't normally bother to drive 40ks for a job cause i'm just to lazy, lol. but the client was willing to pay travel time both ways so i thought, 'why not?'. So after i stretched out a 5 min job for a half hour, to make it worthwhile, i headed off to have another look for this elusive froggy.
No luck again, despite an exhaustive search of every possible hidey hole and up trees for a 30mtre radius. I did find a GC cache here at GZ by accident which i had found previously but had forgotten was here. But definitely no frog. So Keith the Wanderer, i think you may have to mark this one as missing. Maybe someone else might have more luck but i dont think its here anymore, perhaps a GC cacher found it and was not sure what it was all about? Anyway, i do hope it turns up somewhere. Thanks for the froggy cache.

This rather large green frog certainly lives up to his name. I found him wandering in Murdoch near “Radio In The Pines”. He was last seen up in the hills so he get around a bit, just like his owner.

Thanks WanderingAus.

Froggy is on the move and he is sitting under a bushy plant overlooking the most gorgeous view of the Canning River. He is quite relieved to be finally on the move as life has been quite boring .... Three weeks ago, he had gone for a walk with Yoga and was almost on the point of being put down when Xinders changed her mind and there he was trapped all over again. (sigh!) This makes a lovely change .....

Embarassed Froggy is safe and keeping well. I am so sorry for taking ages to move him along. He has been for a few rides with us ... all over the place but so far no success .... Must make a decision soon.

My first frog find in WA! Been way to busy with the new job and tired every day. Regardless with 3 frogs on Heirrison Island, I had to go and stretch the legs. Found this well concealed frog with the help of the hint. And tucked under my arm, he joined me to find some more of my frog army.

Dropped this very big frog off in place for another. A beautiful spot where he should find some froggy mates.

Whoa, big frog! Much bigger and heavier than I was expecting Smile

The second frog I picked up in my walk by the river this afternoon, and St Johns Ambulance were shooting a commercial right near GZ, but luckily I was shielded from their view.

I used the hint to help me zero in on the right spot without arousing too much suspicion here.

Thanks for the frog WanderingAus, I will drop it in a new location very soon!

After a long day of cleaning decided to punish myself more by walking half a lake. Found a quiet spot off the path on the edge of the lawn to sit down and listen to the birds settle for the night while the dog walkers cleared the area, camera and wildlife is one way to get rid of nosy Muggles, got some nice photos as well. Placed Wandering Frog in a big clump of reeds, and if he looks in the right direction he may just see fellow frog AusHopper across the water.

Got back from cleaning rental, to find another froggy close to home, have the perfect park for him to go play in.

I had just got back from Applecross frog hunt when I noticed two more frogs had been published so off I went again. First was Rossmoyne then this one. The only trouble I had was getting all the grass seeds back out of my socks and shoes after getting back on the path.

Thanks for the cache.

WanderingAus wandered by and started him off beside Mary Carroll Park, which for the first time in years actually has water in it on the last day of Spring. It's often dry by the first day of Spring.

If you walk along the path you won't be able to reach him, but you will see where you need to be. There is a fence corner on one side of the path, bushes on the other side of the path, and the frog is the other side of those bushes. There is a gap in the bushes half way back towards the road.
