Description
Bao-Bao is a Soft Magnetic Froggy in the Leap-Frog Race!
"Bao-Bao" is Chinese Mandarin for "Cuddle Me"!
Bao-Bao is a Brito-Chinese Frog from Brighton, England.
She WON the 2011-12 LEAP FROG RACE!!!!!
(With the longest single move of 17,208.45km, and the greatest total distance with 34,406.11km)
She is a Green Climbing Frog with magnetic attraction powers. So rather than trees she likes to hang around on Poles and other metal areas. Her Boy-frog is Zao-Zao from Sydney and they want to try to find each other and then run away again over in Australia during the GCA Leap Frog Event. Please help her explore this big new land! England is far too cold in Winter for any self respecting Frog to call home.
If you find her, take her with you and log a "FOUND" Entry. Then find her a new home and take the co-ordinates there and come back to log a "MOVED" entry.
At the end of the Leap Frog Race she was going to retire on her winnings and relax with her owner.... but Zalgariath the nasty so-and-so had other plans. He tagged her with a TB tracking dog-tag and sent her to China with the Mission to return to Australia. So now you can hide her as a normal Movable and log her yourself, or I will move her when a non-GCA person places her in a GC cache :D

I'm not heading to Sydney, but may be able to offer Queensland, and possibly even the UK and Germany in the next 5-6 weeks? I think it gets warmer in England in summer...
Dropped off in GC3KRMG: Small TB drop point (http://coord.info/GC3KRMG)
Great idea for a joint TB/GA movable. I think I'll do the conversion and drop into a GC cache when I get the chance (Assuming I can find one that's not a micro)
Thanks Zhaomin and Zalgariath
NIce little fella he is too.
Will move on soon.

I hope it visits Perth - Thats a direct route to home isn't it?
She has already been picked up and will move again soon.
Bao-Bao seemed to be enjoying the miniature railway so I left it in the cache for those who follow.
TNLNSL. Thanks Zhaomin.
WARNING: Not at the listed co-ords. In the Geocache "Train Whistle Blowing" (GCYJEX)
"Found courtesy of Keeper of Time. Always good to find a trackable with a great history!"
Detoured on our return trip home to grab this frog. Will move it on very soon.
How hilarious that Pwags was the one to find her there Hahahahaha
I will 'move' her to her new home once we find a suitable cache in a few days time
Found this froggie at the fabulous ZEAMMAFF Event! at Concord West, NSW!
Lots and lots and lots of Leap Frogs and gnomes in attendance!
Thanks to Zal for making it all happen!
Lots and lots and lots of Leapfrogs and gnomes in attendance! It turned out to be a great day for all Leapfrog and Gnome lovers, a great event with great people attending, we all had a ball.
Thanks to Zal for making it all happen!
Hope she realises how cold it can up here . . .
But a helper is close at hand!
They do seem to get around . . .
Might move him up to Leura next . . .
They both hopped away to a new hidey hole.
Through time zones, drunken bucks nights and several airports Bao Bao has made it to Australia for a great adventure! She hopes to meet many other frogs and teach her owner about GCA as she is new to Geocaching
Left her near my Cooks River #1 Cache. Please try to keep her dry Log sheet is a bit fiddly.
Come get her!
Yay! Another Froggy to come home to Australia!
Found hanging around in Brighton shivering in the cold. Time to Visit Australia and warm up. New things to climb and new cachers to meet. Dont forget to give her a Cuddle and see if you can reunite her with Zao-Zao
