One of the significant findings thus far has been the arrival of four frogs which have been diagnosed with skin cancer - a condition previously considered to be extremely rare. Such discoveries remind us of frogs' reputation as environmental indicators. If you live in Cairns and want to use some of your free time to make a contribution to our work, you can volunteer to help at the frog hospital. Most of the time, this involves cleaning tanks but cleaning is the backbone of caring for these animals.
