Thats awesome Bougy,

I have noticed the last week of showers has brought them out in my garden, and there's one particularly annoying fellow who is in the drain, which makes it echo quite loudly. Perhaps after yesterday afternoon's effort he won't be in there anymore. :o

What a wonderful scene to capture in your back yard. They say that frogs will only live where the surroundings are not polluted. This is a credit to your yard Bougy Fan.

I was out checking my plants yesterday and heard a frog croaking loudly. He was in my syzygium, and had his throat ballooned right out. Was only about 2.5 cm long and really cute. By the time I ran back inside, got my camera and returned, he was gone. :(

Hi Dave
Most likely the place with the most would be Australian Bonsai Grower at Park Ridge. The larger stuff is a bit pricey in my opinion - I recently bought a twin trunk about 1200 high and the thicker trunk is 30mm. It was $90. She does have smaller starter stuff. If you go there are no cards only cash and check which days they are open.
