Frog Pond Fills

Frog pond in the making

Cumulative rainfall of more than 140mm from March 25 to 28, 2014 produced enough runoff at Peacehaven Park to fill the recently built frogpond. TRC staff Wayne and Dan'l handpicked suitable stones and rocks from a rural site then painstakingly sorted and set them to create an attractive and frog-friendly lining. As you can see the pond is full. Subsequent heavy rain on Sunday March 30 should have tested the bywash design.     Now all we need are some                                                                                            plants and frogs for a raucous                                                                                           chorus.

Ants Abound

Ants exploring Peacehaven

Have you seen the army of massive ants along the new rainforest path? If not they're worth a visit. We're told by Robert Campbell, Toowoomba Regional Council Parks and Gardens, that these aren't anything compared to some expected a little later this year. Keep your eyes open.

What a whopper! 
Can you see the little honey bee on the ant's abdomen?
