On a chilly Tuesday night in May 2023, about 30 keen participants came along to learn more about the frog species of the Whittlesea township. 
Firstly we trained the participants to recognise the calls of the 16 frog species found in Melbourne through a game of 'Frog bingo.' We then walked from Whittlesea Community Activity Centre along Bruce’s Creek where we heard the Victorian Smooth Froglet (Geocrinia Victoriana) and Common Eastern Froglet (Crinia signifera).

We finished up at the Whittlesea Secondary College frog pond behind the Whittlesea community garden, where we heard the previous two species again, plus Spotted Marsh Frog (Limnodynastes tasmaniensis) and Southern Brown Tree Frog (Litoria ewingii). All frog calls, and species were recorded and submitted via the Melbourne Water Frog Census app.
