Description
An entry into the 2011/2012 Leapfrog cache race
He is big, brown and beautiful. A lovely frog I found at Bunnings for a very keen price. In fact, I bought 2 and left one in the garden.
Don't worry, he is very light though and will enjoy moving all around Australia this summer.
- Caches must be found and hidden by the same cacher (i.e. no mailing the cache to another cacher to hide)
- There is no limit to the number of times other cachers can find / move the cache provided there are at least two other finds / moves in between
- If a cacher moves your cache overseas and it remains unfound overseas for 1 week or more, the same cacher may move your cache (within the country or to another country) without breaking the "2 moves" rule
- There is no limit to the distance other cachers can move the cache
- Other cachers in the game may find / move your cache, but they must move it on within 2 days
Logs
Seems like this one is still out of play. When Doc Who moves this frog, I will unarchive.
Bumped into Doc who today. Ouch it hurt actually. He was carrying this guy with him. I left it with him but signed the log, thanks for sharing
It would be good if DOC WHO can move it to a new location and put a "moved" log in. Thanks ff
Found in the hands of Doc Who. I suspect the last log was not a real move but the location it was last seen. Doc Who will shortly be moving it after I mentioned the archive situation. He was a bit stuck with how and finding other players. It can be u archived as it is still in play. Nice looking large brown frog.

This cache looks like it's MIA so we'll archive it to stop it turning up in lists and queries. If it resurfaces then the owner can resurrect it by placing an "Unarchived" log against it.
Spotted at a GC event to view the sunrise. Cheers, riokun
Found before the Geocaching Event held on Kooragang Wetlands.
One of my first movable geocaches that I have found.
Now in my possession, I will move it on to an Interesting Location.
Perhaps a Nice Swamp where he get lots of Flies to Eat.

Another GA cache that hasn't seen the light for some time.
I'll move him on soon.

Sorry to have taken so long, but The Big Brown is finally back in the wild
The 'found' log was backdated. There was no mention of any find until very recently.
This cache is in gd___'s hands apparently if you read the logs.
Can they please put it back in to play?

Beautiful, very scenic place -- right near 'Drop Dead Gorgeous' -- but Big Brown was nowhere to be found!
Very sad indeed . . .
Maybe someone else picked him up but didn't log the find as well.
We can hope . . .

Sorry, it was me who picked this up and forgot to log the find. He's currently sitting in my front yard and I'll get him back out soon.
Taken out to the very scenic Shipley Plateau.
Found in the hands of Team Canary, while visiting Shipley Plateau, near Blackheath, NSW.
Left this large froggie for TC and/or our other friends to move further . . .

Too big to go to Adel, so dropped off near Tharwa.

Rocked up to the canoe event location with the grandkiddies only to find three frogs left high and dry and all the canoeists were out on the water. (I was on Granddad duties for the event as well as webcam phototaker) I picked them up and brought them home for some travelling.
I missed the frogs when they were on the island - but I found him in possession of the Lion Cubs in the back if Mountain Biker Oz's car.
I managed to delay their departure long enough to sign the logs.

Aww, it's big and it's brown!
And it's cute too!
(this is worrying how many frogs i'm calling cute....)

Picked this up and were greeted by the owners of the garden, which gave us a chance to meet and have a nice chat about caching of course. Thanks Fluffyfish.

R had been nagging L all afternoon before she finally gave in and we collected the frog! Rated: for Overall Experience

After being left in the back of the car for too long, Big Brown decided to stay near Canberra.
Found Big Brown on my way home from a Christmas party and dropped off a lizard that I've found earlier in the day.

'Big Brown' has swapped places with 'Kermit Froggy' who has gone for a short trip. 'Big Brown' is in exactly the same spot so go find him cachers!
'The Big Brown' has left Leura and jumped in my backpack to join the rest of the crowd in there, quite a racket they made all the way home!
I will have to separate them all very soon.

I've transported 'The Big Brown' up to the Blue Mountains, to Leura.
He's certainly big and brown and hard to hide.
Hope he'll enjoy the higher altitude for a time, before he moves elsewhere.

Spotted at Caching Corner Capers event ... Went looking for him yesterday in Dural before he ventured to the pub and he had already hopped off. Glad I caught up with him

Left him at the Caching event for others to move. Bye bye.
'The Big Brown' was hard to miss at the 'Caching Corner Capers' event at Rouse Hill!
Was glad to meet him and log him . . .
Will bring him up to the Blue Mountains.
Thanks!

Stopped and picked up Big Brown. In the car for another trip. Left a friend close by.
Rated: for Overall Experience
Placed him near the old water works and old creek 
I found this great frog with Social when I drove up. He'd be a good mascot for me, I'll ask if he'd like to stay
Mr Big Brown was most polite and said the garden was just lovely. But he still wanted to hop along a bit further and headed west. he was last seen out around Dural
Yep, he sure if a beautiful frog. I might see how he enjoys my garden and ask him if he'd like to stay
Big Brown thought he would come down to the oval in case any sports were on.
Will be hopping in to CHristmas party about 1.00pm
Big Brown flagged me down so he could hop aboard, and has joined the growing South Coast army ready to invade Sydney tomorrow!
Hid this fellow in Camp Quality Park near the creek. Averaged waypoints forever as muggles arrived. Then met Rock-hopper in Bomo & she will pick him up on Sunday & take him to the NSW Geocaching Christmas party when all the frogs will find new converts to GCA.
Found somewhere to park after going round in circles. A big tree & a big frog which soon presented itself. Move him on I shall. Thanks.
