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 Maiala’s ancient subtropical rainforest, you’ll be contributing real citizen science data to researchers working to understand frog populations and ecosystem health across South East Queensland.
Led by Friends of Parks Queensland ecologist Dr Katrin Lowe, you’ll explore the rainforest after dark, listening for frog calls, learning to identify the species that call D’Aguilar National Park home, and recording your observations using the free FrogID app. No prior experience is needed and all are welcome.
Maiala is one of the most spectacular sections of D’Aguilar National Park, protecting ancient subtropical rainforest and a remarkable diversity of native wildlife on Brisbane’s northern fringe. After dark, the forest 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, with the walk covering approximately 2 to 4km on rainforest tracks.
Please arrive 15 minutes before the start time to check in.
