Notice board:

$120,000 by May 25th or BUST !

We have extended the deadline a little because the local vets here are not ready to take over receiving sick and injured frogs. As the only group in the country who has found and is tracking new disease problems in Australian frogs, our absence would create a very big hole. If you care about the disappearance of frogs, find out more here

The amount pledged or received so far as part of this campaign is:

$1,175.00 (as of May 8th)
(Thank you!)

If you have sent a donation and haven't received a receipt, please check here to see if we have received your donation. If you aren't listed, then please ring us.

A big thank you also to Natural Resource Assessments
(our first and still only Gold business sponsor) for renewing their sponsorship this year!

Have you sent us an email or snail mail that bounced?
Do you have our correct details?

We relocated before Christmas and everything changed.
We are also forced to change our email address regularly because of the volume of nasty spam that bombards us as soon as our address has started circulating for awhile. Visit our Contact page for all the new details.

Licenced rehabbers from other states who want training in frog rehab should contact us before early May to arrange for training in Cairns while we still have animals in care. In the Cairns region, we encourage vets to seek briefings as the disease problems here are far too complex for novice carers.

If we are no longer receiving animals, we will need to move to smaller premises (with smaller rent). between late June and early August. Homeowners between Mossman and Innisfail - please check our house wanted page.

April 11th: FNQ alert: chytrid fungus is one of the most serious frog diseases on the planet and it has arrived in Cairns. See our Alerts 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!
