This is an interesting question I've pondered after finishing 37 days of rainforest adventures for Pughs Mountain frog (Philoria pughi) this spring as a part of the Southern Cross University led GRASP project with Dr. David Newell and Dr. Liam Bolitho. This project was definitely a highlight of 2024 for me! This little studied frog species was potentially the most impacted amphibian in the 2019-2020 bush fires in terms of distribution overlap and negative correlation with severe fire.
The objectives of this project are (1) resurvey fire impacted sites, (2) create an extra 40 randomly sampled sites to understand distribution patterns (3) set out 14 acoustic recorders across their range to understand calling phenology, (4) find frogs for swabbing and for collecting tissue samples for genetics.
So how long and how many steps did all this take?
It took me 467,003 steps in total across 37 days. I didn't measure floors per day, but a volunteers phone measured 80 floors a day on average. Assuming this, and that each floor is 3 m, then I ascended 8,880m (4m off the height of Mt Everest).
Other stats...
Surveyed 80 transects for three repeats, 17 revealed new sites for P. pughi
Captured 24 pughi, 10 kundagungan
Heard 538 individual pughi call across the surveys
I copped about 20 ticks
About 300 leaches
Stung three times by the giant stinging tree (Dendrocnide excelsa), twice on the hand, once on the elbow
Thousands of scratches (mainly caused by three species of Rubus, guess which?)
Coldest swim: 6 PM August after sunset in Coombadja Creek, Washpool with
Although 6 AM in the same creek in November was also freezing...
Climbed several mountains including Bajimba, Klunie and Spirabo
Mt Spirabo summit hall of fame:
First ascent: Callum
Second ascent: Jack
Third ascent: Ivy
BIG big thank you to all the volunteers who braved the mountains and enjoyed the rainforests with me this year!
I'm excited to do it all again next year!

While the bird is not in full view, I really like this photo since it represents their ecology, and how they are usually seen; cautiously foraging and always vigilent. I also like how the watchful red-eye of the inland thornbill is highlighted.

I am very curious about their camouflage. Does anyone have any hypotheses as to why the tail has tiger stripes?

This amazing observation was made by Dr. John Gould on Kooragang Island and we thought it was pretty interesting so we wrote a scientific note on it published in
The crayfish burrow was produced by the range restricted hairy Hunter crayfish (Cherax setosus). The tadpoles are from the striped marsh frog (Limnodynastes peronii). An interesting scenario where the extended phenotype of the crayfish is benefiting the marsh frog.
Its unsuprising that the species that has utilised the crayfish burrow is the striped marsh frog as they are one of the most opportunistic amphibian species in eastern coastal Australia. They are the most likely to be found in garden ponds in urban areas, and I have recorded them breeding in plant retainer dishes and even in storm water drains.
A little side-note, I remember reading some of the old school natural history notes published in the 1920's on amphibians in Australia. One of the authors recorded striped marsh frogs breeding in water-logged horse hoove footprints on the roads when Australia use to have horse and carrage as the main transportation system. This emphasises their adaptability in breeding habitat selection.
These opportunistic habitats of the striped marsh frog has enabled them to have success in numerous ecosystems and they can withstand disturbance. By using water-logged crayfish burrows as breeding sites, they may be able to withstand impacts of climate change!

First up is a paper lead by the genius John Gould in collab with the team from UON (including Dr. Alex Callen, PhD candidate Lynne Matthews and Dr. Colin McHenry). 🐸🐸🐸
We had noticed an issue in the green and golden bell frog conservation space where in their management documents it had been written that it is better to have wetlands that are devoid of trees. Some of the reasons for this are valid, e.g. that more shaded wetlands could result in colder warmer temperatures, which make them more suitable for chytrid growth, which can develop into a disease that impacts this species and other amphibians.
However, we wanted to provide the counter argument, as trees were getting cut down due to this management plan and in some instances this resulted in population declines. Using a dataset from Kooragang Island in the last few years, we examined tree use in the green and golden bell frog. We found that tree use was proportional to how many trees were surrounding the wetlands and postulate that trees may offer potential benefits, e.g. basking opportunities (which might reduce chytrid) and also refuges for females and juveniles.
A simple solution to get the best of both worlds is to retain/plant trees on the south bank of the wetland so that there is no shading (since the sun is on a northern aspect in the southern hemisphere).

And yes, I have put roof tiles in my parents garden to attract reptiles. I think they approve now after this finding.

Coal Creek showcases the discovery of the coal pollution run-off from Peabody Mine in Helensburgh. The pollution has been entering the Hacking River through the Royal NP, Australias oldest national park. Black sludge was observed choking the riverway on numerous occasions during the La Nina period. Follow the link to my bio for the documentary on Youtube.
I co-led the frog impact study alongside Macquarie University PhD student Shannon Kaiser. For a whole spring and summer we examined water quality, frog health and numbers in control vs impact sites, with an awesome crew of volunteers. Shannon presented some of the results at the event.
We strongly appreciate if you shared this post or the Youtube documentary. The environmental damage cause by this mine is unacceptable. The Royal NP is one of the oldest National Parks in the world; how can this environmental degradation still be occurring in this day and age?

Swipe to see them all! (and tell me your favourite, and guess which ones my fav, I'll reveal which one and why later)
The wildlife you see on the pelagic tours are amazing and its such a lucky dip. I'm going to do more pelagics this year. My next confirmed one is in two weeks going off the coast from Kiama. Roll-call, who's going to the Kiama Feb trip?!
