Cooper's Twinkle Toad Queensland, Australia
By whitewebbs on 01-Dec-11. Waypoint GA3790

I was headed north today, so decided to take the Twinkle Toad with me. We were headed up for a family lunch near Mount Tamborine, but Twinkle left us just shy of our destination, at a rest stop beside the road. He's next to a big tree, away from the main area of the rest stop. Was great to have you in my company for the last month, Twinkle!

Thanks for picking up the toad. I am sure he was happy to hitch a lift.

It was nice to find one of the old frogs from the Leapfrog race still out there, traveling the country! We were up at the Coffs Harbour lookout and found him pretty quickly. We made a trip to South Solitary island today, but unfortunately Twinkle Toad didn't come along for the ride, but instead waited patiently in the car. We'll move him onwards very soon so he can continue his travels.

Today MattyRx and I ventured up here onto the hill before headed out over the water. We found Twinkle Toad whilst there. Twinkle Toad is on the move once again.

Please accept our most massive apologies for the delay in the drop-off, in our defence, this bugger is quite big!
Dropped on the way to a nice scenic spot overlooking Coffs Harbour, the toad was last seen sheltering under a log from a very large goanna....

Cache is in transit and should be relocated shortly....admin review log only.

In transit....

He's off again.... spotted here when looking for a different movable - they're all stacked up here and hard to spot.... we've taken him with us, will drop off somewhere in the next month or so....

Nabbed form a nearby hiding spot

Ready to go again

Quick find and now retiring. Thanks to all who helped move me on.

Dropped off after a very fine workshop at Hobart College.

I came looking for a frog that I hadn't found yet, and ended up carrying out the lot. I'll return the container this weekend.

At the frog party......JAB's would probably like his frog carrying container back at some stage too

Found this frog and many others during a frog raid encompassing The Domain, Howrah, South Hobart and Mount Stuart.
In all, 47 frogs and a gnome were recovered and they will be placed out in the bush tomorrow. Maybe we'll take them to Cockle Creek, NO. Strathgordon or the old Hilton Hotel at Adamsfield! YES. They are good places.

Found while out on a frog raid

helped

MINE - HELP

He's big, and blue,
So what I'll do
Is find a log
For toad, not frog.

I should have remembered that toads are bigger than frogs. Croak.

I moved this a couple of days ago, and thought I'd logged it, but evidently not... sorry for the delay!!

I decided to grab this one today on my way past.

Found with a bunch of other frogs hanging around on a letterbox

put out to be with others

out side i find he was hidden

Back out

Found on a quick caching run around the Scene of the previous days cache event. Makky brown you should have come into the event at least for five minutes after surrounding the event with frogs. It did make me laugh this morning when I saw the location of them all.

Thank you for the great hides


Mr Frog jumped out of the pond one day
And found himself in the rain
Said he, "I'll get wet and I might catch a cold."
So he jumped in the pond again.

We have you surrounded. Come out with your gps' on. We know you are in there at the event.

Dropped off after a quick trip to the hardware store before hopefully (or is that hop-fully?) finishing off the steps that I've been rebuilding this week.

Grabbed a frog after grabbing some pavers.

Mine and looking for a new home.

Took four left two

One returning home!

Found this frog on a drive to Carlton beach for a family swim.

Anyway, a new log signature, and one anyone who saw play school as a kid would know.

Having had something of a heavy night, Twinkle was happy to wave goodbye to his frineds and settle in for a (hopefully) short nap before embarking on the next leg of Leapfrog.

Twinkle came home with us after the Hoppy New Year event. We would like to say that he and the others that stayed the night were well behaved - but look at the photos! Will be back out later this year, after he recovers a little!

Going to the top at 8pm

An early morning drive up a nice valley.

This frog was making too much noise to stay in the car any longer. The frog chorus can be pleasant but the baritone was over powering. This bush urban hide will help keep him happy we hope.

Found him

Back Out

geo kid e, geo kid o and myself decide it was the boys turn to go for a frog hunt. We were successful though most of the north west and north a few days previously, so a trip south was in order to grab the frogs placed out by Makky Brown

Anyway here is my log signature

Da -Glumpf went the little Green frog one day
Da- Glumpf went the little Green frog
Da -Glumpf went the little Green frog one day
And the frog went Glumpf Glumpf Glumpf
But we all know frogs go "La de da de da"
"La de da de da"
"La de da de da"
We all know frogs go "La de da de da"
They don't go glumpf glumpf glumpf

The big dude is lying in wait under the dogwood

Thanks MakkyBrown for doing a frog rescue run in Scottsdale. Twinkle does like the city lights.

Rescued the big blue monster frog too

‘I joined a motley crew of explorers, eight of us in total, and we headed over the mountains to the east. We lost one on the way over due to fatigue but the rest of us made it! We came across an idyllic location, a froggy oasis, to rest before continuing our journey. ‘

Frognapped!
Twinkle wanted to join the 'Frog-pedition' and gladly hopped on board the frog wagon that was heading east.....

Rated: for Overall Experience

Hidden in the expectation of being found soon. Ideal location for sending small child in to retrieve.

He's got too good a croak to be left de-activated. A couple of Duracell Ultras should keep him in full voice for a while but we've got to get him a new, readily accessible, home where only cachers are going to find him.
He's a great frog and worth some effort so I might pop him out to the west a bit where's he's accessible to to the NW froggers as well.

Thanks nutwood33 for looking at twinkle toad. He was croaking when he left home and has croaked himself hoarse by the sound of it, but with a bit of help from you, is back to full voice. Hopefully he won't croak when muggles are around.

The addition of a couple of small bits of alfoil has solved the battery contact problem and this frog is in full croak. Now we just have to figure where to hide him for best effect.

I get the feeling these frogs are getting bigger! This one looked as though he had the potential to be noisy but alas, his batteries are flat.
Tried new batteries in him but I've only got ultra's and the +ve terminal doesn't seem to protrude enough to make contact. Hmmm, something to look at when I've finished these logs.

Frog alert all you frog hunters out there, there has been a mass invasion of Southern frogs waiting to experience our beautiful country side and hopsitality. Lets all show them a good time and give them plenty to croak about - GO GET EM

Frognapped

Twinkle Toad was showing his true colours as he sat in the back seat with other frogs. There was a vote - Twinkle Toad had to go. Hence, he is out and back in the race.

Picked up on a frog raid south from the North West. Hopefully we will have a good days frogging. TFTF
