Frog Hot Spot McKellar, Australian Capital Territory, Australia
By jess'n'jas on 14-Oct-11. Waypoint GC35XT3

Today i had a good search for this one and can confirm that it is gone.

I'm going to archive this, as i'm sure when a decent downpour of rain occurs it effects the cache and it's hiding spot.

Hope you enjoyed it while it lasted

Might need to be check out this one, see if its all good since the recent DNF's and no finds for about 5 months Thanks

Going to Disable this, until i get a chance to check it in the next day or two.
It shouldn't be that hard to find, so it is most likely been placed back into a obscure location.

Had a look around for this one with puddle twins but no dice. There has been a fair bit of trampling of flora around the likely spot for the cache so may be worth checking if it's still there or having a more direct hint. Hopefully no froggies lost so far.

Second Dnf for this one. I'm wondering if you forgot to adjust the difficulty rating? Either that or I'm a complete moron.

Sorry I also forgot to say that both my GPS and phone led me to the bridge, so maybe they're leading me astray! Last visit I searched the sign/seat area. Didn't look there today.

No luck today

A great spot and nearby board very informative. TFTC Liverpudlin SL as SG

Popped by here on my way to Belconnen. Having been past previously had a good idea where to look now no muggles were around. Quickly located and signed and then returned to its hiding spot.

Thanks for another great cache location and for a good and tricky hide! You earn a Favourite Point from me for this one, so if you look at the date that KittyKatch and I actually did this one, you can have it as a Christmas Pressy from Me! [:-)].
TFTC jess'n'jas,
Cheers,
GrimRaider.

GrimRaider and I had a lovely time walking around the dams in this area with the geohounds on Christmas morning. A great little spot. We remember when this was just a big empty paddock. Cache and LB in good condition. TFTC

I decided to duck out for a bit of after work caching today around McKellar/Giralang. Nothing too ambitious as it was after 6pm by the time I hit the road. I parked the car at the Palmerville site car park & dragged the bike out of the car. This cache was the first off the list & it wasn't a good start. I had a pretty thorough look around bit no frogs or caches. Thanks anyway.

Nice hide, fun find!

No luck here today.

It's a WEEK since my last cache!!! Horrors!! Withdrawal symptoms!!! Unhappy GeoSchnauzers!!! The working week was too fraught for caching. Yesterday, I wanted to go but the weather was horrible. Besides, a mate of mine came up from Melbourne to see Knightech and I, and a good dinner was had, with quality wines and scotches. Great night. I expected to feel a little second-hand this morning, but having slept to 10:00 am, I felt good. The day is fine if a little cold, with a keen breeze. Anyway, off to the northside for a few caches, and some walks for me and the GeoSchnauzers.

Now I'm up for another park and two-cache walk. The dogs are loving this!!! For this one (the second), I was there a couple of weeks ago, but pulled out because I didn't want to catch double pneumonia in the sleet. Today was a much nicer day, and I soon had the cache in hand. TFTC!!

939 3/30 for day. Picked up geokid and geograndkid. I have done a cache here once before many years ago. Found quickly by geokid. TFTC Liverpudlin.

Quick maintenance check
all looking good
Cache holding up well

Found 1:55 pm with X_Mscake. Along with daughter. I've had a search for this one before but felt uncomfortable with all the overlooking houses. Came back during lunch break to do this in daylight rather than dark and do a find and therefore help with keeping a streak going. TFTC in daylight wasn't that hard to find after all and GPS coords were very good.

Tftc. School hols so busy. Did get a few strange looks

Had a spare hour so came to check out McKellar, an area driven past many times, but not visited. Thought I'd sussed out GZ as I approached from the Soccer Club but first impressions are often wrong and so it was today!
Once the real GZ was ascertained, it was a quick search and cache was soon in hand. Wandered off to extract, sign and return the log. Replaced and was on my way with a turn around of less than five minutes which was just as well with all the houses with big windows surrounding, not to mention those very suspicious looking ducks swimming nearby!
Thanks for the cache Liverpudlin.
Cheers

A beautiful day in Canberra and great caching weather too. This is one that I found in the norther area that I had never visited before. Very pleasant area! TFTC

3:15:00 PM: (6 of 9) Find#5052
I was visting the northside for a lunch so decided no rush to get back home so time for some caching
ok in the burbs and short walk and then had a fair idea where it was but need to pick the right spot but managed to see it from the other side and quickly found after that.. thanks

After mucking around, found it. Nice area. TFTC

Nice hide in a nice area. The boardwalk over the lake was lovely - even if the lake was dry TFTC!

Last cache for the evening. The breeze was getting cool and the kids were getting tired. I'd like to come back and read the signs and learn a little about the frogs here. TFTC

A lovely spot for a cache. It had just rained. Did this with batau who signed the log... And will log it officially when he stops being stingy and gets a premium account! Thanks for the cache

A fine little cache ta.

#441

I stood muggle watch while Darkmadviking found,
TFTC!

I didn't read the clue beforehand, so made harder work of this than needed - but the hunt was fun and a relatively quick find.

Thanks JnJ

# 6849 Found on a perfect Spring day for a drive around the northside again.
Not many muggles around here today considering it is school holidays.
Another good hide and a quick find.
Thanks for the cache jess'n'jas,
Roostaman.

I'm smiling but sadly not a frog to be heard!! TFTC

# 3656 Found and logged 9:03:20 AM
One of 29 caches for the day after arriving in Canberra for the weekend
A good day for caching with everyone buisy voting
Thanks for the series jess'n'jas

601. A quick and easy find for today. Thankfully the stream wasn't running, otherwise I would've had trouble!

TFTC jess'n'jas !

The log was dry, but I tipped water from the container. Plastic bag needs replacement, so log might not continue to stay dry. A nice group of ponds. TFTC.

Nice start to a gentle caching wander with BatgirlandCo.
Nice easy find for the cache, and we also managed to find Ebunny.

TFTC!

Another one crossed off my 'to catch littleredshoes' list...
A quick grab - done!

Friday 21 June 2012 - another glorious crisp sunny winter's day with a few clouds doting the sky. Thx p2p. TFTC.

Not many frogs awake today but I think my pet SBTFs would like the pond here.

tftc! easy park and light walk to GZ

Nice spot TFTC

Quick find after a play in the nearby park. TFTC

#408 - 19:45; Did a quick after dark snatch and grab on this one after dropping the Geoteen at dance class. I had to pass this one by over the weekend due to excessive muggle activity in the area which prevented more than a quick cursory glance about the area of GZ. Tonight was another story with narry a muggle to be seen and a successful find and log. TFTC jess'n'jas

TaurusSix and I had a pleasant Autumnal walk in this area. Had to get down low a few times before I spotted the cache.

Took a bit of searching but found with the geokiddie eventually...nice spot...TFTC!

This is another night time grab on the way home from a scout meeting.
I am really enjoying these hunts in the dark. It puts a whole new dimension to the hunt.

This cache is well named. I had the pleasure of listening to the many frogs who we obviously not worried about making their prescence known while I sought my treasure. Listening to locals singing the evening song during my hunt made it a really enjoyable experience.

Thanks J&J for the hunt. Wombat.

Here I was expecting to get WiFi reception and all I learnt was the frog mateing calls of Bonk and uck? And yes i also found the cache..

Found with O319 on a great afternoon of caching. TFTC

Nice quick find with no muggles around just on sunset. Thanks for the find )

A pleasant place to sit while filling out the log. TFTC!

yay...after some walkers strolled past...a quick jaunt to get the correct side and voila

cool cache and a quick find. took TB TFTC

short search and we found it

Short search later and we found it!

Found after a little bit of a hunt. Clever hiding spot! No muggles about but I pretended I was getting something out of my back pack whilst searching . Pretty little spot. Saw a white egret catch a small fish! Thanks for the cache and for bringing me here!

#14 in a busy caching afternoon heading towards our grand #250.

We are often in this area to watch Canberra United at the nearby soccer field. A duck kept me company while I retrieved the cache.

TFTC jess'n'jas

A very quick find here. Minute total until i was back in the car. First place I put my hand. Woohoo. Thanks for the cache.

This was so much fun! Almost didn't find it but decided to look from a different angle and there she was!!! Our tip don't do this on your way to dinner. My clothes are now a bit dusty but such a great he'd love it!!! SL

Not many sounds of the frog today nice spot thank u

Loved this area, really nice to have a break and look out for frogs. TFTC.

Last one for the day on the way to Evatt.

A quick find in a somewhat exposed spot. TFTC

After having an earlier attempt at this one turn up nothing, I was keen to locate this one.

A new GPSr led me to pretty much the right spot.

TFTC

Nice little cache on an interesting landmark. TFTC!

Thank you for this fine cache.......

Nice quick pickup TFTC jess'n'jas

One of those caches were you just need to put your hand in the correct spot, or look from the right angle!

Cheers

Found on a Canberra run with Hoojar.

We got there in the end after looking here and there. A nice spot. TFTC!

fun finding his one with the kids. thanks

Easy find, even heard one silly frog on this very cold evening.

Reperio at 1550.

Didn't happen to see or hear any frogs about today, but after searching around...I did manage to find the cache. Luckily there was no one around as it may have looked a bit weird searching around this area...but after all...I could tell them I was looking for frogs.

Gratias jess'n'jas.

Found @ 4:09pm

Cool area, found in the fourth spot I checked. My search was interrupted by some cycling muggles who asked if I'd lost something . Thanks for another cache jess'n'jas!

Nice to see these little spots in the suburbs. An enjoyable one as part of my ride to get to 1000 finds. TFTC jess'n'jas

Had just started to search when several muggle walkers strolled by so decided to have a seat and made a quick find.

Thanks for the cache jess'n'jas

tftc

Another quick find on this cold autumn day. TFTC!

I must be getting long in the tooth - like a few other caches, I recall being here before for a previous cache. Still, it's always nice to visit these little urban wetland areas. And as a bonus, I got to combine geocaching with that other fad, planking.

My 50th find for the day! Thanks very much jess n jas for the cache.

Rated: for Overall Experience

We are getting closer to our 2000th find, so headed out today to get that bit closer. No sign or sound of any frogs here today. The GPS put us in the general location, but we then had to choose which side of the structure it would be. Tried one side with no luck, so tried the other side feeling every inch of it before we came up with the cache. TNLNSL TFTC

I had heard of this cache and wondered (early on) why it didn't appear on my iPhone, with my premium membership all paid up Raspberry Moo and I headed off and found this one. A nice spot. Loads of tadpoles about, so hopefully more frogs soon.

195. Sorry no zip lock bag on me at the time of visit. Log book in mint condition still. Interesting location, but there were no frogs audible today at midday-ish. TFTC.

Grabbed this one whilst trying to get a few more north side caches done!!

I should of left a GCA Leapfrog nearby, if this place is a hot spot for frogs! But alas, i placed him elsewhere!

now to get out of here before it starts raining again!

log book replaced all ready to go...

Ps if someone has a tiny zip bag in their caching bits and bobs, could they kindly pop the log book into it...

Many thanks...

Happy Caching...

After all the rain, it was such a pleasure on a lovely sunny dry day to be able to go out and do a spot of caching with a good mate Captain Tomato.

Sodden - needs maintenance - Sorry

Lucky we didn't attempt this one during the heavy rain event recently!! Log is very wet and needs replacing, did not write on it due to its' condition. Nice little place to visit, TFTC

Found on a very wet afternoon. Cahce is very very wet. Took the chance to log find on the 29th of Feb of a leap year.

TFTC.

A pleasant little stroll on a sunny morning. A lovely area and a nice easy find after doing other nearby caches. TFTC.

Lovely wooden bridge, glad we didn't have to leave the bridge as it drizzled all night. TFTC

3rd of 6 around Evatt. Realised where it was, and after a bit of looking, the cache was soon in hand. A very peaceful and nice area. Now off to the other one nearby. TFTC jess'n'jas![:o)]

16/02/2012 19:18 Found: Sneaky.......but a good hide. TFTC

No frogs present in this pleasant wetlands.Not much bird life at the moment.

Found it. Was really hard in pitch black after couple
Of brews.

No frogs, no snakes, no people making a find a bit easier than it could be on a busy day.

These ponds have come along nicely, and it was hot out in the sun on the path. It took a bit of acrobatics to see where it was but getting it was easier than that. Thanks.

Found @ 1710, but only after I did my best impression of a troll to date. Coords were good, but for some reason I wasn't able to make the find until I decided to get 'down and dirty' (a move I suspect is only possible in drier times) - must have missed it by millimeters! A nice quiet park on a cool blustery day. TNLNSL-TFTC.

Another day caching in the capital, resulting in some 53 finds. Signed log: TNGD. TFTC!

The grass and reeds are growing nice and long, making it difficult for muggles to see us.
Sam took a step off the well trodden boards and instantly had four brown boots.
He had to go on a run in the long grass to clean them off.

A good walk for him put to Palmerville.

Had a good idea where this one was but confirmed my thought after reading MtnLioness' log..ha,ha,ha. Another nice spot, luckily the kids on their bikes took off in the other direction so I could get this one.

A reasonable quick find on a humid Canberra afternoon. Interesting area,but nice with with GeoZac. TFTC
