Rock "n" Frog Kindred, Tasmania, Australia
By FrognChook on 05-Aug-10. Waypoint GC2CWRQ

Today we headed out for an adventure from Forth. Our aim was to visit the Paloona Dam, Lower Barrington and Sheffield for caches we didnt have time for last time we were in the area.Really enjoyed our walk here. GPS was jumping all over and it took us a while to spot the correct hint item. Eventually I turned around and there was the cache looking at me. TFTC

Thanks for the cache FrognChook.Took a walk along this track with my two GeoGSP's today - lovely track, even though it was grey and overcast. As we approached GZ I did hear a few frogs, but none were spotted. I did spot the cache however, so was soon signing the log and replacing the cache - it was starting to drizzle, time to get back to the car.

Found this one A lovely walk to the sound of many bush birds.

Solved a lot of the nearby puzzles in this area recently so today we set off to find them all.
Along the way we spied this cluster of traditional's so we parked up and went for a walk to find them.
We really enjoyed our stroll beside the river watching the water flow by. It was certainly peaceful.
Once at GZ the cache was soon found and all was good with it.

Nice hide

Have only now got our act together to log this along with three other traditionals and a puzzle cache on the walk down to the Paloona Dam. We did enjoy the walk on a perfect walking day without another soul in sight. Thanks FrognChook.

Enjoying a walk along this track, and this was one we found along the way round to the dam.

Hi, and thanks for the cache, found with AlbyDangles on a caching weekend based at Gowrie Park, after transporting some Venturer Scouts to their statewide 'Venture' at Arm River Camp last night.

Hello FrognChook thank you for the cache

This was another nice easy find.

EeePees and I were on a weekend away finding caches.
This one of yours was one of many that we found.

Over here from WA to watch our geoson in the Natonal rowing comp.
Went for a quick drive after his races for the day to grab this one. Lovely walk beside a rocky stream.
Nice sized cache here for swaps.
Didn't take anything as has
had nothing to leave. Tftc!

amynryan0128 found 20/3/21 TFTC! Dissapointed to only find one frog but still worth the walk

Quick find today on the way to log a few caches in the area. TFTC.

today with the misty rain and not wanting to be stuck inside KjStarr and i decided to park at the Alma Bridge and walk into the Paloona Dam and find the caches along the way.
with our rain coats on we set off along the track.
this was our second find along the trail, using the hint the cache was soon found and signed and continued on our way. TFTC

Up from Hobart for a few days for some R&R before Lady membsec becomes out of action for a few months later in the year! This is probably our last real caching day in the area! The weather has been fantastic and we have enjoyed travelling around some of the local country roads.

We have been in this area before collecting caches and today we had time to pick up the new caches since our last visit. Nice easy walk and loved the container size.

TFTC

Parked up and set off on the MTB to these few caches, this one was a nice and easy find

Today I set out to clean up some caches I had missed up in the Mersey valley and central coast area as well as visiting some new locations, with the mtb in the car it made it easier to get to some places to reduce the longer walks. Seems like I am cooking up to this area every few days lately.
A nice day out with just over 20 finds.

A good found.

Found thanks to an extra pair of eyes.

Searching for caches today, to complete the mystery at the museum challenge. Managed to find all but one of the caches today! Woohoo!

Glad to see a bigger sized cache, since I was looking forward to doing some swapping.

TFTC

What a beautiful walk. Little bit of whinging from Mr 7 (we had so many false starts to find the right track , 7 year olds shouldn’t navigate ) but he was so excited when we found the cache. TFTF

Off I set to walk this trail and pick up a few caches. This was a lovely cool spot reward after the track in still had sun beaming on it. TFTC

Exploring the area today tftc

Wow there certainly was a lot of awesome swaps we took a frog and left a barbie doll and two novelty rubbers. Thanks for placing this cache such a peaceful place for a winter stroll. We even saw some green rosellas.

Wow the most packed Cache I have ever found so many things in one container....amazing.
It was such a nice day for a walk with family and our dog enjoyed the trip as well

Travel Bug still in Tasmania on the North West Visited a few before going to a new home

Enjoying this track of caches with my boyfriend, auntie and two little cousins

Hi there FrognChook.

We found your cache **"Rock "n" Frog"** at 12:43:00 PM today. (This makes our grand total 18967).

We are camped in Ulverstone for a couple of nights, and today we headed to Lake Paloona to log a few caches.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trek around the area and ended up finding a variety of container types, and sizes on our journey. Our find count for today was 6 caches, with 1 DNF's.

Thanks for placing the cache here. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels. Thanks also for placing a large cache container here. It made us feel really glad to find a large, kid friendly cache (with swaps) here.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.

In Forth to catch up with Smokie5054 before they leave Tassie for the mainland!

Today Mr Felix headed out on a FTF hunt whilst Mrs F had a sleep in. This cache was found along the route. Only 1 big snake sighted along the route.

Beautiful sunny day albeit a bit windy.

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Nice walk along the river to find this one.

Finally, thanks to Oldsaint found the entrance way to this great little series of caches. The path in was muddy due to the amount of recent rain, but a great cache was a just reward for the mud.

TFTC, found the cache at 11.40

Hi FrognChook
The walk to GZ is really good listening to the sounds of the bush and the tinkling of waters in the river.
A quick find was had at GZ, signing the log at 1425hrs.
TFTC and cheers
OldSaint.

A nice walk to GZ and another well stocked cache. A bit damp as lid not on tightly, so took frog hand puppet and left green frog. TFTC

Day 5 of our escape from the NT trip, seeking some relief from the tropical build up

A very enjoyable stroll along the river. Looks like a lot of the green tree frogs we have around our home back in Darwin.

TFTC

This was an easy walk and it is a very pleasant place for a family visit.

A terrific walk along to this cache, it was really lovely in the warm sunshine. Cache is nice and big, perfectly dry and contains great swaps - it's not often that I actually pause and look at them all...they were impressive. All good - thanks for a top cache, FrognChook.

(etrexer)nice walk along the wilmot river,been here before when camping at the alma reserve many years ago,very enjoyable to come back, found a couple of spots i would like to try gold panning at so will be back.thanks frognchook

We were nearby and decided to continue on this path along the river to make two more finds. No swaps made. Cache is ok.
TFTC

Nice easy find. TFTC

At first we thought we were going to have to walk through some locals yard and then swim the river. Yes, trusting the GPS too much can lead to trouble. We didn't have swimming gear with us, so thought it advisable to re-consult the cache description. That was how we found the car park and set-off on a walk in the crisp morning air. Glad we had decided not to swim once we were outside the warm car and into the air!
Down the track we came to our first obstacle. The floods this year had certainly left behind a good pile of debris. In the US a beaver would have thought he had died and gone to heaven!!
We negotiated the obstacle easily and were again on our way. A few more trees across the path were no obstacle and we soon reached GZ. On opening the cache we were very disappointed we didn't have any good swaps with us. (we are not generally into swapping!) Our good friends and fellow cachers, Corroboree (named after the endangered frog species from the Kosciusko region)are very into frogs.
We logged the cache and then proceeded on to 'Ladybird Trade'. Coincidentally close friends KI Bug introduced us to caching and have a ladybug as their calling signature.
Another great friend Gentoopeng are named after penguins, but although the air was cold and water even colder, we did not hold out hope of finding a penguin swap.
Great ideas for caches in a lovely area we would not hav kn own about let alone visited.

A lovely walk along the river made an easy find. Took photo frame left purple frog. TFTC

Lovely walk - we really enjoyed the experience !

This area was looking a bit sorry for itself, with masses of debris still cluttering the river and banks from the last big flood. It was actually quite astonishing how different it looked from the last time we were here; most of the trees had been ripped out of the banks. Thankfully, the path was still traversable and it was still a very lovely walk. The foliage looked very green and lush after a light drizzle.

At GZ we got a bit misled by the wrong stump. That big ancient one was very impressive, though. The cache was a nice size too, very well stocked and in good condition. Didn't swap anything, but left a little squishy frog with the other frogs. A very nice cache, thank you.

I was surprised this cache was still there after the recent floods. The picnic area showed signs of heavy flooding and the track had a large area of flood debris left on it. Once at GZ the cache was found dry and safe. TNLN TFTC

Quick find on a great day for a walk in the bush. We had no swaps, so the only thing that we took was a geocoin. TFTC

Nice easy find while in the area
gr8 walk in and out

all is well at GZ

great easy walk for this one beautiful day tftc

Left Thor Coin. Took nothing. TFTC.

Lots of rocks n frogs...real treat for the littlies....great riverside walk too...Many thanks FrognChook....Cheers.

Great walk, can't wait to fly fish that section of river. Love the gems.

I pulled out snakes, spiders, fish, and rubbers from my swaps bag but no frogs.
So I just marked my find and admired all the frogs before sealing them all shut once again.
Thanks for the cache frognchook

Forgotten to log this cache that I found just before the event in Port Sorrel.
This was a beautiful little walk/ride on a crisp winter afternoon. No swaps, we enjoyed the adventure along the trail.
Thanks FrognChook.

A nice stroll watching the river in flood. TNLN Thanks

This took longer than expected considering one beetle was with FrognChook when she hid it!!! Just couldn't find the right spot!! Oh well! Had nothing to trade as had given all the frogs we had collected to FrognChook beforehand to help fill their cache. Well done. It's great to have another well stocked cache in the area.

Two new caches provided a pleasant diversion on our way to Burnie this morning.

Lovely walk. Well stocked cache!
Carried on to the cache further on before exploring the dam.
Many thanks.

A beautiful winter's afternoon, two new caches in a great nearby area - the temptation was too great. We set off on a quite easy walk, completed Rock "n" Frog on the way to the other cache. A great collection of frogs and rocks but we didn't take anything as we didn't have anything to swap. As there were no other entries in the log, we will claim as FTF. Thanks for a great cache and a great walk on a river-side track.
