We have been receiving bogus messages from assorted contacts in environment groups which obviously did not come from these people and they insist they did not send them. If their email addresses have been spoofed/hacked, it stands to reason OURS could have been as well. If you receive a message that says it came from us but contains rude language, a message that we don't need your support and/or don't want to work with you, pornography or anything at all unacceptable, please forward that message WITH ITS HEADER to us at frogsafe@protonmail.com We're sorry if you received something like that but if you let us know, we can try to trace it. We don't send offensive messages to anyone for any reason. Thanks for your help....

We tried to have three garage sales to reduce the volumne of stuff we have but those have not done well. So we are offering the "continuous garage sale". If you want to make an appt to come in and see the range of books, tanks and other things, then please contact us and you can view our items in luxurious privacy. Non-fiction books include nature, birds, sharks, animals, new age/spiritual, home improvement, coffee-table books on cars, Australiana, health and food, travel and so on. Also succulents; lockable Reptile One display tanks; assorted aquariums; chaps; Star Wars stuff; solitary bee boxes (with bees!); a steel map/plan cabinet; a geology collection; tumbled stones, etc.....

Our group with a live-in volunteer has been renting in the private market for over 25 years and we have been forced to move SEVEN times. This has caused an increditble waste of very limited resources and imposed massive burdens on our live-in volunteer. We are absolutely sick of it. Now that the rental crisis has gotten so bad, we are now locked out of the 'standard rental market'. We cannot afford what agents are charging and we need to move again when this lease ends (we only took this place because there was nowhere else to go but this house is not appropriate for our work). We are casting a wide net to find a long term place to operate (please note we are not commercial and do not have signage out front). We could share an 'environmental' acreage (e.g., land for wildlife, biodynamic, organic farm); or we could rent a standalone house privately from a reasonable owner; or someone could buy a sales property to rent to us under a long term covenant (and we can help improve the property). We are looking at the Atherton Tablelands or bushy areas on the coast. We do have some specific criteria however which are necessary for our operation. If you are in any of the positions described above and would like to talk about the possibilities, please contact our President soonest on (07) 4006-3784. Please also bring this to the attention of anyone you know who is cashed up and looking to do something important for conservation. OUR FUTURE IS DEPENDANT ON FINDING A BETTER HOME FOR OUR WORK!...

Thanks to some sharp spotting by a resident, we received a frog on Jan 6th that has tumours growing out of its mouth. We are arranging for a biopsy to be done since this is a tumour type we have not tested before. It is another reminder that no matter where you are, please keep a lookout for frogs that have any kind of lumps anywhere on the body. If you see one, use gloves or a plastic bag stretched over your hand to pick it up, place in a plastic container with an air hole and a tiny bit of water (not tap water) and bring indoors before contacting us. UPDATE: the lab results are in - it is squamous cell carcinoma (the first we've received in the Common Green tree frog) - see our Cancer page in the Health section for more info....
