Notice board:

Feb 8th, 2010: Are you a volunteer in a community group, especially a smaller group? Please read the information in this link NOW - there is a new email scam operating which targets community groups.

January 2010: Our frog room is full; we're gearing up for tadpole rescues and donations coming in the door have been almost zero for some time! We have both a facility and a vehicle to maintain as well as the animals and administrative obligations. We're also redeveloping our website to bring you more essential information but our grant application to pay for this web development was turned down. DONATIONS ARE NEEDED NOW if we are to continue the good work we do! See our donations page.

Know any art lovers? Rod Ramage has generously donated a painting to us but we need to do the selling. Details and photos to follow but if you are mad keen on Ramage and can't wait, phone us now on (07) 4045-0373!

Our website is currently being redesigned and expanded.
We hope to have the new site completed and launched around March 2010. Watch this space!!

Wet season is the time when soil diseases are brought to the surface where they can be picked up by frogs, pets and people (and we can tell you, infections with these are NO fun!). NOW is the time to be treating your yard. Take our soil health questionaire and find out what condition your soil is in!
go to new soil health section

Another new page! Finding help for rescued amphibians can be very difficult depending on where you are - see our new Rescue FAQ page

Are you receiving nuisance emails that have our domain name as the sender? We can assure you, they are not from us. Now that we have a broadband account, all emails from our organisation will be from the Westnet domain. Any email you receive with our fdrproject.org or fdrproject.org.au domain has been "spoofed" by one of those rotten, malicious hackers out there who have nothing better to do with their talents than cost others time and money!
