STTF Board visits Kununurra and toad front line

In April STTF Board members Robert Edel and Luc Longley travelled to Kununurra to hold meetings with Kimberley Toadbusters and other Kununurra groups.

They also took the opportunity to go out on an STTF toadbust to Brownies Creek to gain first hand experience of the enemy. 48 frontline toads were bagged that night even though most of the terrain was knee deep in water. They also helped STTF staff run some experiments on acoustic tracking devices.
