Bogs and frogs

Here you can often hear frogs calling. This low-lying area was probably always boggy, collecting run-off from surrounding ridges and drainage lines. European settlers reported on Flea Bog Flat’s notorious mud making travel difficult.
Frogs don’t need a permanent water source to survive and this damp wetland can provide a great habitat. Listen out for the distinctive 'crick crick crick' of the Common Eastern Froglet (Crinia signifera). ** audio by Jeremy Hegge
In our region the Frogwatch program mobilises members of the community to undertake frog monitoring and protect frog habitats. Frog species are good indicators of environmental health and monitoring their numbers can help identify healthy waterways. Want to be involved? click Frogwatch
