Description
WanderingAus' Wandering Frog is an entrant in the moveable cache race running from 1st December 2011 to 31st January 2012.
If you can abide by the rules below please help to keep him moving in the race.
He is quite large for a frog but should still be easy to hide as he is only about 160mm long and 60mm tall. He has a log attached to his belly, the lid unscrews, but the container is not removeable.

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.

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.
Thanks WanderingAus.
wow this guy has had a tough race. play hard!
Hope to catch up with you again at Froggy frolic in the park

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!
Thanks for the cache.
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.
