The frogs.org.au media archive project collects newspaper and magazine articles that have featured the Amphibian Research Centre or any of its projects.

Kaeru Times - Wednesday, January 18, 2006.
Another article on the Amphibian Research Centre in Kaeru Times, a Japanese newspaper devoted to frogs - this time a thinly disguised promotion for the 2006 ARC fundraising calendar. Included because of the beauty of the page surrounding the article.
The only words I can read here are "Amphibian Research Centre", "Fucsko", "2005", "2006", "Gerry Marantelli", "ARCade", and "www.frogs.org.au".

Getting the jump on a new pond
Maroondah Leader - Tuesday, December 13, 2005.
A two-storey, state-of-the-art car dealership centre is replacing a Ringwood nursery that has existed for 22 years. Unfortunately, nursery staff are unable to move the frogs that live in the nursery.
"The change to the use of the site and loss of the breeding pond will not unduly disturb the frogs as they will move themselves along the creek," Mr Welsh said.

Banana box frogs
Explore - Thursday, December 1, 2005.
Written by Grace Tree
A colour double-spread (plus cover) in "Explore", Australia's National Children's Magazine.Suspiciously written by "Grace Tree", this article features several pictures of the Graceful Tree Frog (or Dainty Tree Frog), well known as a stowaway in banana shipments around Australia.
Australia-wide, as many as 50 000 frogs per year arrive at markets packed in fruit, vegetables, flowers and other produce. Only New South Wales and Victoria have organisations to rescue and care for these frogs. The Victorian Frog Group and the NSW Frog and Tadpole Study Group (FATS) rely on volunteers to provide this service.

Search by content
The "search by publication details" (above) uses the database records of publication details for each media article and returns a summary of each file matched, including an abstract and a filesize. The "search by content" is a more thorough search, actually looking at the complete text of the media article, but the results may not be presented in such a user-friendly manner. Use whichever search is most appropriate.
Note: The "search by content" does not distinguish between the "projects" of frogs.org.au - this search will always return results from the complete archive.
