FrogID Week, running from 6th to 15th November, is Australia’s biggest frog count — and every recording makes a difference. By joining this guided evening walk through Tamborine National Park, you’ll be contributing real citizen science data to researchers working to understand frog populations and ecosystem health across South East Queensland.
Led by experienced group leaders from Friends of Tamborine, you’ll explore the park after dark, listening for frog calls, learning to identify the species that call Tamborine National Park home, and recording your observations using the free FrogID app. No prior experience is needed and all are welcome.
Tamborine National Park is one of Queensland’s oldest national parks, protecting a remarkable diversity of subtropical rainforest, open eucalypt forest, and wildlife habitat in the Gold Coast hinterland. After dark, the park comes alive with the calls of frogs and the sounds of nocturnal wildlife — and this guided walk is your chance to experience it firsthand.
Spaces are strictly limited to 15 participants, so register early to secure your spot. This event is suitable for ages 16+, and children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. A moderate level of fitness is required, the walk covers approximately 2km on unsealed bushland tracks.
Please arrive 15 minutes before the start time to check in.
