WHAT’S ON A MILE IN THEIR SHOES FOODIE FINDS WELLNESS
Join Australia’s biggest frog count during FrogID Week (12–21 November). Tasmania is home to 11 frog species, three of which are found nowhere else, like this Tasmanian Tree Frog snapped at Olga River. As a Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment (DPIPWE) spokesperson told Journeys, frogs need our help: “Many species of frogs around the world are in decline, with a disease known as chytridiomycosis (a fungal disease) the main cause.” By downloading the free FrogID app and recording frog calls you’ll help scientists gather vital data on frog health and distribution.
