Northern Seminar Series presents: Frogs of Brisbane with Harry Hines
Get the low down on Brisbane frogs with Harry! Brisbane City has very high frog species richness: probably the highest for an Australian city and perhaps amongst the highest for cities around the world. Karawatha Forest Reserve a Brisbane City Council reserve in the southern suburbs is home to 23 species of frogs. At least another eight species occur elsewhere in the city. In addition to the native frogs the introduced cane toad has been long-established in Brisbane.
About the Presenter: Harry Hines is a zoologist with extensive experience in south-eastern Australia. A keen birdwatcher in his younger days he left Brisbane to complete a Bachelor of Natural Resources majoring in wildlife management at the University of New England (UNE) Armidale New South Wales in 1987. For a number of years following this he was based at UNE where he was involved in general fauna surveys in north-eastern NSW radio-tracking studies on sugar gliders and a range of other smaller projects.
