Frogs are supposed to be the barometer of the environment. If that is true, then the NT is doing ok............a new frog has been found!!
Rumour also hath it that there may be more.......
After all, the region is relatively unexplored for both flora and fauna, so one could expect these sorts of events, I guess.
But.......it is a new frog, and is as yet unnamed.
More about it here http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/09/20/3016622.htm including a photo. There are more on the ABC web site too.
And not to be outdone, a new plant was also found recently, near Emerald Springs [ see more here - http://oldfartz-on-tour.blogspot.com/2010/09/emerald-springs-revisited.html ] south of Darwin. This plant however, does have a name - Alysicarpus suffruticosa - a close relative of buffalo clover.
