The cache appears to be MIA so we'll archive it to stop it showing up on search lists. If the cache owner can confirm it's in place, they can resurrect the cache by placing an "Unarchived" log against it.

Ribbit Froggy has gone a courtin, I think.

Tried again today and despite the good hint and looking quite well the ivy hid the caches too well for us.
Might need the previous hider to look as they know exactly where they were.
 
18-Jul-12
Had a quick look. Probably still there just lots of eyes on us today.
 
17-Mar-12
Grabbed a couple of frogs when popping into the shops. Still three left at the same site. The Ballarat gang haven't got into frogs this year, clearly.

A quick find on the last day of the race! Will move it on soon.

It's too hot to make more than one stop so 5 for 1 at this location. (6 if you haven't found GC2EAA8 - Fanny's Forest) Good luck little frogs. Hopefully there's at least 1 more move for you before the race ends.
 
28-Jan-12
Grabbed with the geokids on a last frog frenzy before the end of the race.

A hot summer's evening after work to drop off my Leapfrog hoard and get my daily cache. Thankfully one of my usual drop-off locations (Wattle Park) has been cleared out of Leapfrogs so I could reuse some trusted hides Smile
 
14-Jan-12
Luckily I was heading past kaeru on my way to tackle a couple of library geocaches so I swapped it for Leapfrog Amphibicitrus who I picked up earlier today Smile Will hide again soon (most likely tomorrow)

Again sorry for the non-movement of this little guy. He got mixed up with Christmas and a trip in the new year but is now settled in a nice spot awaiting pickup
 
10-Jan-12
Sorry all, my bad (as they say)
This guy is still in my possession EmbarassedEmbarassedEmbarassedEmbarassed
I'll hide him tomorrow as I do a frog roundup.
Apologies MtnLioness, I hope this doesn't mess up your gaming.

Either it's too well hidden for my old eyes or it has hopped away. There were several possible locations, which i searched. A hint would have been nice for a micro.

Wattle Park has become a repeat frog hunting ground for me. I came back today as I thought I needed to stretch the legs at the start of my Christmas break. The walk around was very pleasant and as the temperature was climbing the park was pretty quiet, which suited me!
Discovered a nest of frogs... or is that a pod of frogs... hang on... G...O...O...G...L...E.......C...O..M. Right yes it's an army of frogs, or a knot of frogs. Oh I give up!
So four frogs jumped into my bag here. Two others stayed behind as I had already found them, and one from my bag decided to stay here.
Thanks MtnLioness, I'll hide this one again soon, I think this might be my first interstate frog!

I had to go out and place five frogs at lunchtime today as I ran out of time last night with Xmas shopping and a nine year old Birthday party to attend. So today at lunch I find myself back at Wattle Park, a park I have attended a great many times these last few weeks, logging a couple of leapfrog caches and dropping of five others. Given the limited time I placed them all at the same location, this one. There are now SIX frogs sitting here having a chat waiting for someone else to come along and help them on their journey. Thanks it was a nice walk.

I found Freddo instead Kaeru Brick Wall
Just miss it.
thanksk

Once again I’m sitting at work looking for a lunchtime cache and I came across 5 leaping frogs at 11+ km from me. However the Monash Freeway would make the journey achievable in the limited time I had available. The freeway was running relatively slowly, and Burke Road was at a standstill, so when I got to the GZ location I found that I had very limited time. I parked close by and ran into the racecourse and grabbed all five frogs. How’s that, 1 hide, 5 frogs and 5 smilies. Now that’s cool. I will drop them all off somewhere later tonight when I go to collect some other leaping frogs close to home.

Moved a little bit west and into themd country. Hopefully he's watching the logs and should see this froggie pop up in the usual place.
Beware, there are 4 for 1 in here with 3 quite small ones.
Enjoy the race little froggies.
 
20-Dec-11
A quick and easy find tonight while it frog hunting. Hopefully well get him rehidden soon.
 
20-Dec-11
I found this froggie out with caughtatwork frog hunting tonight.

Moved 8.44km
Moved onto a nice spot opposite the beach.
 
16-Dec-11
I checked the cache this morning and kaeru has leapt away, so someone has found it and needs to log.
 
15-Dec-11
Oops that is because I picked up kaeru, sorry no time to log until now!!

I will be moving him on soon.

Hmm - no Leapfrog in the geocache here that I could see... :-\
 
15-Dec-11
The Leapfrog is missing the public tags so LF queries can't see it - can you add please?

kaeru has moved lakeside and taking refuge inside another cache (GA3264) to stay dry.

Found in this nice dry hiding spot, kaeru out and another in Ribbit

Landed safely after a good jump.
Had to split with her travelling companions as they found spots that could get wet. Instead she found a dry cosy spot.
 
09-Dec-11
A quick little stop on the way home.
Nice spot for a frog this size, and one I'll use too for future frogs.
Next hop will be to Melbourne.
Perhaps there'll be a group photo on the plane.
Cheers CoolRibbit

Leaping to a popular frog spot, next to a small creek.
 
08-Dec-11
Took a detour on the way home from work to visit a group of frogs. Or is that a bunch, or a clutch, or maybe a gathering. Nope, it's apparently a knot of frogs.

Anyways, once I arrived there the GPS kept pointing at one tree that looked like the sort of thing that a lioness would climb straight up. Not me though, I just reached up and stuck my hand in, and pulled out a *FTF* frog.

Konichiwa chiisai kaeru. Doko ikimasu ka?
Thanks MtnLioness!
