This one seems to have the cache creep again but this time it has creped way for good.

Spent some time looking spoke to CO still no good. Groovy sculptors anyway.

16:01
We looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out! After about 30 min in the freezing wind and watched by the nearby assembly, today this 2/1.5 didn't want to show itself to us today.

FEEDBACK TO CO:- Given that this cache hasn't been found since 25/5, perhaps a check to ensure it is still there might be worthwhile.

Thanks for the hunt anyway Bounty Trackers .

This cache appears to be in need of owner attention and should be temporarily disabled until the owner has an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

didn't find it. turned over lots of rock. find redback spider said that's it . plan to come back

Turned over many rocks and got frustrated, will come back another day when it's not raining

Had a long half hour look and even after phoning a friend couldn't find this cache. Either very well hidden or muggled, as I looked in every possible hiding place I could think of.

Passed GZ on the way to another cache, and recognised it by the statues nearby. Came back to look for the cache. Spent a few minutes amongst the rocks, gps didn't quite have me in the right spot. Walked away a few metres, came back at it again and found the cache almost immediately. One step closer to all smileys on my homescreen!

A systematic search and I found it, TFTC

really nice spot for a bit of a wander around.

This was a fun one. Lots of rocks to move around, so many places to look. It took us at least 10 minutes. Did it at night. Didn't hear any frogs, they must have gone to bed.

once again a fun cache for a night time walk with torches.

got sick of turning rocks over, went home. To find another day when we have time and gloves.

We didn't conduct a very systematically organised search. Must have been feeling self conscious with all those bug eyed watchers! But we did find our prize eventually, TFTC Bounty Trackers

On arrival to GZ the GPS had us all over the place when we finally found the cache it was 6 Metres away great find by geo kid

After 20 minutes searching high and low yesterday with no luck I was given a hint by a previous finder and went straight to where the cache was, sure enough nestled away from an angle I didn't look, otherwise I would if seen it, I located the cache. The log was signed then replaced to original GZ where CO intended it to be.

Cache creep had it 6 feet away, but with all the rocks and starting at GZ and working around that's a lot of rocks to search!!!

Thanks for the cache.

Find 02 of 07 for the day and #1477 in total.

Could easily have been a needle in a haystack but we were lucky to come up with it after a short search.
How cool are the frogs!

('\(OoO)/') Thanks for the caching fun!

With so many possible hiding places for a micro and no hint provided and with the sun beating down on my 'nude nut' (I'd left my hat in my car) I searched for a good 10 minutes as was on the verge of throwing in the towel when out of the corner of my eye, I spotted the cache. Phew.

SL TFTC

I really love the frog artwork. Thanks for bringing me here.

Found it. Nice spot very interesting area for a walk. well hidden cache. TFTC

Found on a caching weekend with Davidman. TNLNSL TFTC

Found on an Australia Day caching hunt around Berwick, Officer and Pakenham.

We had some trouble with this & had to phone a friend . It had slipped & was very difficult to retrieve. But should be ok now. TFTC

Gps was spot on, and that is were it was. Lucky day, TFTC.

A dozen frogs and a thousand rocks turned, will come back when I have more patience for rock turning - I swear that every rock look liked a likely suspect.

It is very rocky!!!

Found by Mary & David at 1420. This one took us ages, and in the end we used a PAF, Found it shortly after close to where we'd been searching, but it was much deeper than we'd counted on. It's not quite so deep now, better matching the PAF tip we received. Our thanks to Bounty Trackers.

DNF! Went searching at night, left no stone unturned. Will try again in the morning.

Almost DNF this one again. But like other cache just a few more turning of those things everyone seam to hate an. I had it in hand

Found 09:40, in the company of Muzza, this one required a phone a friend [B)]

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks Bounty Trackers.

Found while out with Biggles Bear on our monthly trip, this time to Warragul and surrounds on Melbourne Cup day holiday. The weather wasn't the best and we had a few DNFs, but in the end, enjoyed the day.

DAK used to say "Geez I hate 'em in rocks", and those words were ringing in our heads while we were searching. In natural rocks, the cache site can often look a little unnatural. Here, it all looked unnatural. We looked for some time but without success. In the end we phoned Crackers for some help. Found the cache shortly afterwards. Thanks to Bounty Trackers for the cache.

Found after first being chased away by a swarm of bees. First find with Geoson.
TFTC

When we arrived the local youth were here in force, drinking grog and carrying on. However as soon as Swaggie2 started taking photos they all disappeared, maybe they were shy!! After that through a process of elimination we managed to find the cache and log it so we could get out of here. TFTC Bounty Trackers.

In the area working, time for a couple of caches on the way home.
Yippee, I found a thirteenth Frog.
TFTC.

Another TDC (The Demolition Crew) run with my caching mates Quasar3671 and TrailRunning. This run took us out to the SE suburbs, and area I was very familiar with having lived in SE suburbs before moving to the country. Not huge numbers, but some good caches and as always a lot of talk, jokes and just fun in general. Nice spot here, would be a better view with more light. TFTC.

As 5 pm ticked over I was ready to race out the door at work for another great night of caching with the TDC (Quasar3671, Blacklegend & myself). The run had us in an area well known to one of the TDC members, but we were still able to pick up some newly published caches for him too. It started through the south east of Melbourne down to Caldermeade and then looped back to Karkarook Park, where I left the guys to try their hand at Wherigo caching. We had a fun night all round and with the rain holding off for the night. The frogs look neat, but we didn't hear any of them. Thanks BT'er's.

Great new parks in these areas. So many places to hide.
Not too long before I had the cache in hand.
TFTC glad I didnt have to go too close to the frogs - my biggest fear.

Love the FROGS cache abit harder to find !

Being cooped up the lst few days with lousy weather we thought that we would take the opportunity today to get out and pick up a few local caches that even though they are so close to home we never seem to find time to look for them. Although Mark works only a couple of kms from here this was only our second visit to this estate. Our first visit was about 6 months ago and this part of the estate was still under construction and there was only a scaric of water in the bottom of the lake. today was totally different as the bottom path was totally under water and even the frogs had taken refuge on higher ground. We have to say that they are the biggest we have seen on our travels and none of them took their eyes off us while we searched for the cache which took quite awhile to locate. we almost declared it a dnf when Diane turned over one last rock and there it was.
Thanks Bounty Trackers for the cache.

Bit of a search but found it in the end

TFTC

Finally found it. GPS maybe be out a little or it's been moved but closer to the bend in concrete, outlook of frogs.

No success with this one today.
Maybe next time

Thanks.

Catching up on my logging - found while out and about with my caching buddy Slink1

With the frogs looking on we rearranged the rocks and shortly after had the cache, TFTC SL

Nice quiet morning gave us a little
time to search GZ easily and find
the cache, signed log,tftc.

2nd cache of the day.
The cute frogs were sitting on the side lines as it took the 3 of us quite some time to locate the cache (even though I did have a previous finder with me at the time)!
I felt a little like Fred Flintstone turning every stone.
Cache was found in the end.
Thanks again Bounty Trackers for this cache.

Found @ 10:15pm , find # 1337
While in the area I stopped by this one for a look around.
Once I arrived at GZ I thought to myself that this could take a while, but to my surprise it was a quick and easy find.
Thanks to Bounty Trackers for this cache.

Seeing as I have a cache close by to this one, and live in one of the neigbouring estates, it was only normal that I was going to have to hunt this one down. Also seeing as I had missed the publication of this one....

Normally it takes me a long time to hunt down this type of hide, but the froggy gods must have been croaking for me, and I saw it in the first place I looked.

Nice park in here!! did love the froggy statues!!!

Out with coley_babee for the day, and she wanted to find this one.

She saw it first, which she was very happy about due to the hide type.

Frogs are cute

I love the frogs, hopefully they were the only ones watching me retreive the cache. TFTC

Quasar3671, PT539 and myself where on a short drive (100 odd km) out to Ballan to give a shot at a new cache and a chance at a FTF. While we where driving out these new ones popped up so we decided to drive past them as a detour on the way home. Quasar made a very quick find on this one finding it in the first place he looked. I could of taken a lot longer. TFTC STF

Headed out tonight for a bit of a caching run with C@H and PT539 to hopefully nab a couple of FTF's and a few extra caches along the way. Our travels had us start from Seaford and make our way to Ballan, via Altona, then back through the city to Pakenham before getting back to Seaford at around 4:30 am. A big night of travelling that saw a few extra kms get clocked up on C@H's new wheels, as well as us passing through a really big storm front.

A 2TF tonight and once we made our way past the watchful eyes of a dozen frogs, they continued to watch as we found the cache. Thanks Bounty Trackers.

It didn't take much convincing to get out the door tonight.. The GF was keen for it too.. so she was soon at the wheel and we were on our way.. within no time we were arriving at GZ and soon after she found the concealed hide whilst I was looking close by.. Not another torch in site we were soon on our way to the other hide.. Thanks Bounty Trackers for the hide and joint *FTF*.. find #2270
