FIELD GUIDE
The story
The frog in the yard at Laidley Landscaping Supplies is about four metres long, two and a half metres high, bright green, and wearing a top hat.
The top hat is the whole thing. A giant frog outside a landscaping business is already a reasonable piece of roadside advertising – frogs mean ponds, ponds mean water features, water features mean the sort of thing the yard sells. Adding formal evening wear to it abandons that logic entirely and replaces it with something better: an object nobody drives past without looking twice.

WHAT TO EXPECT
The frog is a classic commercial roadside Big Thing. Earlier object-specific documentation records it at roughly 4 metres long and 2.5 metres high, and recent Queensland Big Things registers continue to list it at the same active landscaping business.
ACCESS
The Big Frog is documented at Laidley Landscaping Supplies, 31 Laidley–Plainland Road, Plainland. The property site is now independently map-checked; the individual frog position and a dedicated lawful visitor/photo-stop arrival have not been separately pinned. Direct navigation remains withheld. Do not enter working areas or stop unsafely simply for a photograph.
