October 2024 – Frog Month Victoria

Do you live in Victoria, Australia? This October, you can engage with nature in your neighbourhood as part of Frog Month Victoria!

38 frog species in Victoria

Simply record the sounds of calling frogs at your local wetland, pond, stream or farm dam using Melbourne Water’s Frog Census App, then upload. The information collected will help Catchment Management Authorities and community groups across the state understand which frogs are where, and how we can best act to conserve them.
