Geocache Description:

A rest stop for traveling Cane toads as they spread out west.

Well, in actual fact it is there for truckers overnight stops, with a table and a solar powered street light. It is well off the road with a full turn off road loop and is suitable for Geosprogs, but still be careful. The light attracts insects during the night while it is on and the cane toads sit underneath and open their mouths.

As the cane toad is an obnoxious species, maybe you could bring a spray bottle of Dettol/water mix and spray them while you are here. This stuff kills them dead!!! A more humane way is to capture them and put them in the freezer, but please note it will take 3, yes 3 DAYS to kill them this way, any less and they will hop away. Don't handle them without gloves, they have poison glands on their backs, make sure the dog does not eat them, it will probably die.

If you arrive here during the daytime, I doubt you will see any.

The cache is a cameoed Eclipse, with a basic logbook and pencil, it can take 1 or 2 small TB's or GC's

NB: the FTF gets a $2 scratchie, and the rules are, anything below $99 is all yours, if there is more, we go halves :)

**Edit** Well, I am back out here working and went and investigated at night, and sure enough, the light attracts the bugs and the cane toads were on the feed, check out the photo gallery
