This geocache appears to be MIA so to stop it clogging the search lists we'll archive it. This is done to keep the Geocaching Australia clean and up to date.

If the owner can confirm it is in place the listing can be resurrected by placing an "unarchived" log against it.

Reading previous logs, this moveable has been removed for a little TLC. We know moveables can sometimes be forgotten / missed / left in the bottom of a caching bag, so a check has been undertaken on this one.

An update will be posted within 28 days….

In the absence of input from the CO have brought this frog back to Tasmania. He's still a soggy frog and unless he dries out completely, the rot will make short work of him. We'll see what we can do to get him back into shape for travelling.

Found this frog after a bit of a struggle. The hint was "Living as a troll would" so logically that made me think of bridges. Arrive at GZ and there are two excellent bridges. Close examination of these produced no result. Nearby was a wooden ramp up to a rotunda. The GPS favoured this ramp and considered as a place to hide, it looked safer than the bridges, which could possibly be inundated. Problem was, not a frog to be seen. I was also worried by the fact that several new boards had been installed on the bridge. These appeared to be less than twelve months old and thus happened after the frog was hidden. One of these boards was close to the start, where the ramp was very close to the ground. As a last resort, I had a squint through the part broken board next to the replacement and realised that Spatialkermit was huddled down in there. He was up against the soil on two sides, with a bearer in front of him and the new board preventing his extraction!
A little bit of discrete enlarging (they really should have replaced that board as well!)of the rot hole through which I spotted him and I could get hold of him but not extract him. As a last resort I pushed him over the bearer and between the joists, then propelled him as far as I could. Of course there wasn't a useful stick to be found, so all that was left to do was squirm snake like, up under the ramp to where I could just grab him.
Not sure which of us was the muddier but I got some very strange looks from the lady in the garden opposite the park. No matter. The frog is safe! Problem now is I'm not sure what to do with him. I could hide him in Canberra tomorrow, or Adelaide the day after but I'm concerned he really needs some TLC. I could take him back to Tassie and fix him up a bit? The damp has got into him and he's starting to crack and rot. He's currently propped up in front of a hair dryer in my hotel room, drying out a bit, but it'll take a while to dry him right to the core. The damage then needs to be repaired, before he's repainted.
All in all, he's not too bad for a seven year old travelling frog, especially a wooden one, but he won't last much longer without intervention. Ribbit
