.... it's nearly 1am in the morning and you're 61 years old and climbing a tree in a park looking for a little plastic frog.

The really sad part is I went back there today and climbed it again in broad daylight because I didn't find it last night. Luckily nobody noticed, and even more luckily I found it and survived intact.

You are running late for work, with a couple of spiderwebs in hair, and a bit of dirt on trousers. Excuse? "I was crawling under a bridge, checking for frogs"

(and after that, i ended up being beaten to said frog)

Your Christmas present from your in-laws is a rather large cardboard box crammed full of individually wrapped toys, notebooks, pens and heaps and heaps of nick-nacks to use as swaps AND a set of sistema containers!!! :D

It was a great present and lots of fun and took aaaaages to open!! :lol: \:D/

You knock off work at midnight, head for home 20 minutes away and you are just about to turn into your driveway (on the dead end road) when you suddenly decide that you would rather go searching for frogs in a country town 20 km away, without a torch, in long grass when you know you suffer from hay fever. Then you go home, post your logs and organise accommodation for a frog hunting party for the New Years long weekend at the other end of the state. :frogette :frog

It wasn't me. I just read the logs at 6:30am.....

........ you're a 13 yo caching nut.
Your family is going from Melbourne to Sydney for the weekend.
You rock up to Tullamarine and your main piece of cabin luggage is a backpack jammed full with about 10 frogs, wrapped in bubble wrap.
Each frog has a secret compartment which contains a ziplock bag and a logbook, and you nervously wonder what they'll look like under an x-ray machine.....
(Probably not as nervously as your parents wonder however, who most likely distance themselves some way back in the queue).

.... stay tuned to see how it all turns out.

It's sure to turn out well :D

What can go wrong when you know there's a similarly wrapped parcel waiting at the other end, hidden in a popular public venue, in the middle of the capital city, when there's a Summer Festival going on and the place is swarming with people and various security services to keep them all in control. Nobody is going to mind when you crawl into the bushes with a strange parcel and come out again a few minutes later with a different wrapped parcel. :frog :frogette

Having made it through security and the flight to Sydney, this photo has come in from lemmykc showing
the Melbourne frogs enjoying the view from their room at the Intercontinental, prior to venturing forth into the wilds of Sin City.
