Geocache Description:

My young friend Alex has given up the animals in his toy collection and reckoned Geocaching was a good use for them. Hopefully you enjoy his toys as much as he did. After enjoying the Coastal Walkway, this cache will get you right down to the creek edge.

It was news to us that Frogs live in trees!!

White’s Tree Frogs make excellent pets. They are a great choice for beginners who have never owned a frog as they are easy to care for and not nearly as delicate as other types of frogs. They are cute, friendly, and a little different than most types of pets. White’s tree frog owners should focus on providing a calm, clean habitat. Stress can be harmful to white’s tree frogs. Try to keep your frog’s terrarium in a relatively quiet room.

One of the cool things about white’s tree frogs is that they don’t really mind humans too much and can be handled without freaking out. It is best to not handle them too much though. Also, don’t forget, they do like to jump. And will. Before handling your dumpys, rinse your hands thoroughly to avoid spreading germs to your frog. Don’t use soap prior to handling your white’s tree frog though, as soap can be harmful to its skin. After handling your frog, wash your hands thoroughly with soap. The toxins in a white’s tree frog’s skin can be harmful to humans.

Sounds like the perfect frog for geocachers. Have fun!!

A few random facts we found out about frogs too, that is worthy of mention :
1. A group of frogs is called an “Army”
2. A group of toads is called a “Knot”
3. Frogs absorb water through their skins so they don’t need to drink.
4. Frogs cannot live in the sea or any salt water.
5. People who study frogs and toads are called herpetologists.

The Cache is a film canister with a little camo – too small for swaps. Suggest when you find it that you leave the cache where it is and remove the lid to get the log out.

At the time of placement it contained:
Log Note, Silica(Please do not take or eat), Stash Note

BYO Pen.

Also watch children, near the water.

Take care if doing at night, this might not be the best place to be after dark.

FTF: Very appropriately- GEOMATT123 - Congratulations
