Description
GEOCROC
Please take photos and publish of Crikey it's Agro on his exploits. We are amazed 13 years later he is still travelling.
A moveable cache participating in the Gegnome caching game.
Placed as part of the Gegnome Project from December 1 2010 to January 31 2011. After this time please just keep it moving.
Hi my name is Agro and I'm a tribute to the late great Steve Irwin who was as passionate about reptiles as us. There are two of these caches in our series, this one (Agro) has been placed by my 13yr old daughter (the other by my 11yr old son) and she hopes to see it travel further than his and be photographed in as many places as possible.
Hope you enjoy looking for this one, can't wait to see the photos of his escapaeds.
P.S I like being near water, but please consider water levels rise during rain/winter.

We'd ended up with a small collection of moveable caches and have had them too long, they've been moved out to the Lobster Creek area to continue their journeys
A quick find while meeting up with another team for a catch up and sharing f caching stories. We'll get this one out again as soon as possible. TFTC
After moving north this ancient reptile met an other reptile and they decided to head west.
Today we were heading to the central highlands and noticed that this moveable was hiding close to our route. We turned off the highway and quickly located it lurking at the base of a multi trunked tree. It went for a trip to cetral Tasmania before heading back to the NW Coast where it will soon continue its journey. Alas its passenger appears to have vanished.
I have held onto this fellow for too long. It is time for him to continue his journey around Tasmania. It was dark when I hid him so I hope he is well hidden.
I thought Agro had been in this place for long enough. Time for trip to Tassie.
This moveable may still be in location. If anyone is caching in the area, why not stop by and help it on it's way again.
Found while making the most of a pleasant Saturday by undertaking the walk to the Entrance.

Dropped off Agro after it's trip to the hospital. Now Agro is enjoying the beach. Be aware swimmers; Agro is in town.
Decrypter has now mended Agro (unfortunately a leg was missing and this couldn't be reattached too) and it's good to go again. I remembered he had it and asked for it, as I am travelling in a few days and can drop this off elsewhere; in a state that Agro has not visited before. Can Agro please be reactivated!

This moveable seems to have been found and removed in Aug 17, however to date it has not been relocated.
As this is now over 7 months ago, the chances of the cache being relocated might be minimal. To keep the Geocaching Australia database clean and up to date we are archiving the cache.
As one of the previous finders is watching this cache, we hope the cache can be relocated soon so it can return to the game. If the cache is relocated, the cache owner can them log an 'Unarchived' log

Sorry, Decrypter took this to mend Agro's broken leg, and then I went overseas for a couple of months and forgot he had it. I failed to log that he had it. It's safe.
Hello again. I found agro a year ago, and then again today. Will move on. TFTC gradem.

Found Crikey and dropped him off at a suggested location for another local cacher to pickup.
One of four moved to this location just on the outskirts of Kangaroo Valley.
Found on a picnic table on a warm Autumn afternoon. Many thanks to Black Bunny & just a cacher for the swap. A 30 30.
Down in the hands of a local cacher for some fun by the sea.
Found with a group of others. Will take them for a drive this weekend

Found in the company of others. I left them all here, as I already had a bicycle pannier full of moveable caches I was looking for new homes for. It was at different coordinates than listed though. Now at: S35° 21.184' E149° 8.512

This guy had been sitting in the office scaring people for way too long, so I decided to give him some freedom. He is currently a body guard for a heap of gnomes.
was sprung doing another cache luckily not by a muggle but by tansa (sorry if I spelt that wrong). Gave a few hints for a different one very nearby to what I was looking for and when she found out I do GA caches mentioned she currently has this one being repaired . Signed the logs thanked the her and off I went
Picked this guy up will move on soon
cool guy
thanks Gradem

Finally found a nice spot near the water for Agro to settle in, now that he is on the move again after some running repairs. TFTC gradem 
Found this in the hands of LuckyL10n. This should be in a reptile park not loose out and about. It kind makes me feel you could hide it in a creek or swamp area and scare the crap out of someone. Anyway thanks for the cache.

Dropped this one off again but I know it has been collected again.
Grabbed this one after it had been stuck for a while. The Geokids just loved this one.

Although I knew what I was looking for, I still received a scare when I first spotted it looking at me. He looked cozy, so left him here.

Out in the world again. Given that most of the locals have already found this one I expect that it might be here for a while, so tried to hide it well.
This is what I like. a bunch of moveables all in one spot an easy walk from a parking spot. Just the right sort of enticement for me to go a slightly different route home. So I grabbed it.
Placed in Callum Brae today with Sol de Lune's instructions. Cheers! 
Grabbed, and past onto Toy Hunters who will rehide for me shortly.
Thanks for the........

Wow! This cache certainly is aggro... luckily I was able to avoid the teeth! Good luck with your travels.

Nice find today among all the Frogs, Gnomes and others over 70 participants as well as the odd human, some of them very odd indeed!
many Frogs and Gnomes went to Canberra and who knows where from there, and many stayed to be relocated around the Sydney area very soon.

What we ended up with was afternoon tea, bags and bags of frogs, and pleasant chats with some very nice cachers - as well as pjmpjm and RogerW3!
Please forgive me if I got it wrong, but I seem to remember pjmpjm, RogerW3, Toriaz and Taiko's family, all at the party. As well as a few young ladies and gentlemen running around and being generally helpful.
We now have many, many frogs to rehome, so the sooner we start the better!

No event would be complete without Agro!
So it was great to spot him on the table, with his trademark hook.
Left him for others to move along.
Bon voyage, Agro!

Spotted at the Blackheath frog party - where frogs far outnumbered the humans, and a few gnomes and friends tagged along TFT !
!'Crikey it's Agro' is ready to party with all his mates, they cannot wait to meet more old and new friends.
Don't go looking for any of them before 2:30pm on Sunday.

'Crikey it's Agro' has arrived at the Clwydd Hospital and will be in surgery in the next few hours. The prognosis is excellent and there should be no negative impact on 'Crikey'.
Moved to Lithgow!
Next stop, the legendary 'Clwydd Gnome and Frog Hospital.'
Agro will surely get the treatment he needs there.
You can probably watch the plastic surgery results on the GCA Forum.

It was great to see Agro at Leura again, but unfortunately he's somehow re-injured himself.
He arrived with his foot in his box!
The 'cure' from Clwydd was still holding on, so this is something new.
I'll move him along to the famous gnome/frog medical facilities. I'm sure the experts there will be able to help him again.

'Crikey it's Agro!' is making a short stop over in Leura to say hello to an old cacher friend and will be on his way to the Clwydd Hospital without further ado.
It has been quite a while since 'Crikey it's Agro!' and I met, but he is in sore need of medical attention so he is on his way to the Clwydd Hospital before returning to his travels.
Moved to near Springwood Rail Station, ready for Rogerw3 to pick up for transport to the Clwydd Hospital.
Found while out on the cache-abet trail. Got a shock when I went under the bridge to look for 'J' & found this guy staring out at me in the dark! Completely unexpected find, what a bonus .
Unfortunately I dropped him on the way down from the car to home, and a foot broke off . Sorry.
I've contacted Clwydd Hospital & have arranged for an ambulance to pick him for transportation to the hospital for emergency surgery.

Agro is temporarily guarding a newly listed cache GC3AK0Y, with a creek nearby and a healthy Wombat if Agro gets hungry.
He is smiling at me as I am logging this so he can enjoy New Year with us and we will have him on his way next year. Happy New Year one and all.

Took this fella to work today. As soon as I got him outside the car, he took off! I franticly chased after him to see if he was ok. I followed him to the local waterway - Cosgrove Creek. He has found himself a lovely muddy spot along side of the creek, well suited for a crocodile. I watched him find a way to a small shelf looking down to the creek. I'll let him be for now, And let another finder discover him.
This agro creature must of been getting agro. All that traffic disturbing what would be a nice spot with a neat view onto the river. I'll moved him along, after he has calm down. Still a little bit agro!! TFTC
About time that 'Agro' was on his way, he has selected this nice hidey place near the water of course, but who would have thought crocodiles could climb so well. I guess his new hook makes climbing easier. Right under the road bridge.
Agro has now been discharged from the Clwydd Hospital, he feels quite fit after his spinal fusion, which is unusual as all the people I know who had this done wish they never had!
In any case crocodiles are made from sterner stuff, he will be on his way very soon.

It appears someone as though someone must have got a bit violent with Agro, hopefully the culprit had the scares to prove it.
Thanks in advance to the team of micro surgeons, I hope they have the technology to rebuild him....and it doesn't cost 6 million dollars.
When I was in Sydney looking for him I planned on giving him a prosthesis for his damaged/missing leg.
Great to see he is in good hands, hopefully he will return home to roost some day. Gradem 
'Agro' has now been admitted to the Clwydd Hospital and is resting in his bed in the surgical ward. I am sure all will wish him good luck.
Taken for urgent surgery at The Clwydd Gnome Hospital, as an honourary gnome.
