Hard one, PK ON TOP

Nice and moist for this little guy around here at the moment. Cute little pond too TFTC

After Parkrun we headed back to Launceston to do a few caches with the primary goal being a north Tassie. Gosh it was so wet here today we walked down a river it felt like to get to this cache. Very wet feet. Lots of frog sounds and a cute frog hide. TFTC

Thanks for the CacheFind#198Search/SL Time=5M/13:27Today Found/DNF=5/0Finders Note added spare logbook

Yay

On the last day of my Devonport 2-Day Caching Trip, i made today the day to come to Launnie, targeting a former DNF / Golden Oldies / High Fave Point Caches and whatever else is in the path I just had to come down and see this Aussie Icon and hopefully find him to sign his log.Down at GZ i was looking here, looking there, then i spotted him... in the open , what Camo! right there and i still didn't see him ha ha Signed his dry log at 10:01 on Wednesday 22 November 2023 and re-hid him according to the clue, now Muggles won't find and pinch him.Fave Point for this cool creation, it was so realistic and fooled me no troubles.TFTC thomarter

Its stop raining so Id thought Id grab a few caches and this is one. Luckily I picked a good path and didnt get wet

So cool to go off track. Thanks.

Great

Great spot
Lost the kid in the water but we both agree we had a good time despite her being cold and wet
Heard frogs
Didn’t see frogs

Hard

Found it in a frog took a bit

The Golden Cottam strikes again!

Found it! Not on a bike trail but right next to a frog!

Found it very cute

Hello thomarter thank you for the cache

Had tried looking for this on many years ago.
Today it was a quick find.
A nice cache.

Today I came up to find some caches in this recreation area.

Found on Saturday, 15 April 2023 at 1224

**TFTC**

Thanks for the cache thomarter.
Exploring some of the dog-friendly tracks in the Trevallyn Recreation Area with my two GeoGSP's. We could certainly hear heaps of frogs as we approached GZ.
A nice little hide at GZ. All is well with the cache.

Tftc cute as

A great cache with a very cool container. Almost thought the frog was real for a second before realising that it was the cache. TFTC.

Loved this cache. Some great MTB trails around here by the looks of things. Well done on making such a great cache.

An easy find once at GZ, nice container that's very fitting.

Good

The frog has big teeth

Super cute.

Yay

Nearly dark when I found this

Glad to get back to the car

A bit hard

Thanks for a nice and challenging find for my son and I. A new bag for the log is needed.

Yay!

LOVE this!!!

Very cool one it had me ribbiting needs a new bag for the log

Needs a new bag for the log

Given that this cache wasn’t too far away from the FTF that I had just collected I decided to continue on to find it. It was raining very heavy by now and the track was more like a fast running stream. So all in all it was probably not such a good idea in work clothes and not much time before my next meeting. However I was committed now so made the short journey to the gz. Definitely a better cache in winter as I imagine it would be quite snakey in summer. Nice hide and cute geocache. TFTC

Found this little fella on a crisp afternoon walk. Tftc

F

Poggers spot

Took us about an hour to find, very over grown area

That was an adventure and a half, excellent cache, well hidden

Found straight away. Enjoyed exploring this new area today. Will be back for more. Thank you

Got within 30m of this one before mr snake changed my mind lol

A bit camouflaged!

Bit of bush bashing. But found it

Nice find

Good thank you creative

Scary frog

My favorite!

Nice cache TFTC

TFT. Fitting container for the spot

Found by my partner, this one gets a favourite, tftc

Beautiful TFTC

so creative absolutely adored this cache

loved this one, well fitted for the setting. TFTC.

Looked for a good half hour found not find

GPS is way out and after an hour with the kids and searching near every tree still couldn't find it

Found just as gave up. Way off GPS

Finally after one last effort we found it

Do not read if you don’t want a spoiler!!!
Found it! Good cache GPS was going crazy here, don’t rely on it.

It’s on the bush side of the pond where there is no prominent path. Head toward this tree in photo then head left. Hint is still relevant.

nice spot, love the frog. didnt have pen/pencil so didnt log in book

I am glad to have turned this frown upside-down, especially on Streak Week! It would appear that the GPS in my phone is rubbish (not quite the word I used but that will do), and I had someone with me with a much better phone with greater GPS capabilities and she honed in on the cache like a proper cacher...must be time for me to get a new phone and I can then walk the talk or something like that. Thanks so much for the cache and a fairly easy find when on the correct path!

Found thank you for the cache.

This walk was just within my post op knee's capabilities. Searched in circles and after 10mins sent a I give up msg to muggle mum in car. Turned around and saw a likely looking spot. And, yes! Cute hide. 13m out by my not so smart smartphone. Then a kookaburra laughed at me! TFTC

Tftc super cute hide - geo kids loved it

I had no idea this pond was here! It was very peaceful with the birds and frogs singing their songs. At first I went to the wrong side but went back to the other track and after an easy walk through the bush found a cute little froggie! Thanks - it gave me a smile.

Tassie Trip Day 189 - This was a day the it was decided to collect the oldest cache in Tassie and along the way we found a few more to add to the list of found caches. It was a wonderful place for a drive and a great day to see some sights.

This was the walk for the other member of the team and after making the way to the general GZ area and a check of the hint the appropriate hiding place was identified and the cache soon found and log signed.

Thanks thomarter for this place to enjoy the area and collect another smiley.

Made the way down from the car park and walked around the little dam. Came within 5m of the cache and searched using the hint. Found the little guy in his hiding spot.

Today I had 6 caches on the list to find, 1 DNF to have another go at and some others that I have been to before but have had no luck. All 6 were found without any issues.

I am currently writing detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC. "The Author" Badge challenges geocachers to average one hundred words or more in each log. Given that I have found so many GC caches, I have to write many logs with well over 100 words for a long period of time to get my average to the target. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that I can strive to attain this challenge. After over 5000 plus caches (which includes all cache finds up and including yesterday), the average log length is just over 70 words. I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my task before the end of next year. It's surprising how much is has increase since doing this.

I was stumbling about in the bush and bracken and got to what I thought was the right tree as the co-ordinates were spot on, I had a good search, found some great hiding places, but no cache...maybe next time.

Went in the wrong way at first. Leeches! Then found a nice easy way.

What a cute frog. Thank you. The Super Smiths

I was walking around and around for linger than I want to admit! Tftc

Bashing through the bracken to find it

Found with CatCasper. Awesome container, TFTC.

Ribbert... ribbert... TFTC

Out on a cold frosty morning to get a few new caches which have gone down since our last visit to Tas, more like a terrain 3. Got there eventually.TFTC

Spotted one frog

Ribbit. Very cool cache! TFTC!

As I battled me way to GZ,
I could hear frogs a calling
Though they didn't sound like the subject of this cache

More of a 'Plonk -plonk-plonk' sounding frog

And somewhere in the morass of GZ,
I spied a cache

TFTC ... Ribbit

I love it!! Worth the bush bashing hahaha!

Was wondering if this bush bashing was worth it, then found the container was definitely worth it! How cute.

After a bit of a search, a little bush bashing and off roading we found it quite quickly!

Found it! Good clue:P

Tftc!

Great find on almost dusk . TFTC

May the way of the Hero lead to the Trif-... Cache!

I cache your reality and substitute my own! TFTC.

Tftc

Tftc.

Found this one on a geocache running tour around Trevallyn, thanks!

Cute cache tftc

Yes, I could hear them, but did not see one. The greatest difficulty with this one was to find a track that leads to GZ. After a while, i found a small path starting about a metre next to the official track, leading into the right direction and soon found the nice hiding spot.
Thanks for pointing this pond out to me, thomarter

No pen, plenty of frogs bonking to each other on opposite sides of the pond though! Tftc

Nice little spot

Loved the container. A great hide. TFTC

A nice quick find after all. TFTC, fav point for being something more than a sistema!

I spent half an hour waiting to get GPS accuracy down to 2m then marked these as the updated co-ordinates.
