Upcoming events: Frog walk and talks
Grab your beanie, warm coat, boots, and your favourite torch, and join us for a magical evening of frogs, facts, and hot choccie under the stars.
Bring your burning froggy questions, learn some truly ribbiting facts, and listen for the lovesick calls of frogs as we explore a local wetland by night.
It’s a cosy, curious, and unfrogettable way to connect with nature this spring. FrogWatch is funded by the ACT Government.
