Growling Frogs Spark Council Clash | Australia News

Growling grass frogs mysteriously appeared at the Yalukit Willam Nature Reserve in late 2024, sparking a heated debate over whether they were illegally relocated. The council floated a $40K reward for tips, but the state regulator refused outside funding and called the investigation stalled. Volunteers fiercely oppose the reward, arguing it distracts from conservation work and undermines their efforts. Tensions have simmered between council and volunteers since the reserve’s golf-course-to-wetland transformation, with public criticism accusing the council of neglecting its community partners. Mediation is underway as all sides hope to rebuild trust and refocus on restoring this vital urban sanctuary. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
