Written Submissions Professor Grigg Volume 2 Cane Toad Inquiry Report 99 Sites furthest from Mataranka are at the top. This is one of the very few species for which the number of records has increased during the course of the study. Figure 5: Proportion of days each wet season of records with the giant burrowing frog Cyclorana australis present, for each station. Sites furthest from Mataranka are at the top. The proportion of days on which this species was recorded remained similar through time at each site. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This study was initiated in the Roper River Valley with a research grant from the CSIRO Cane Toad Advisory Committee and expanded to Kakadu National Park, and continued in the Roper River Valley, with funding and 'in-kind' support from Parks Australia North. We are particularly grateful to Environment Australia staff at Jabiru NT for their keen assistance throughout. We are grateful also to Les Fletcher, now retired from the University of Queensland, and Graeme Watson, now retired from the University of Melbourne for their continuing assistance in the project., Les for his engineering skills, Graeme for his knowledge of NT frogs.
