O/T Reading todays paper and found this....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BRISBANE toads are set to hop into an orgy of breeding courtesy of last week's rain. After a decade of drought many waterholes are full and creeks running.
Conditions are expected to help toads, native frogs, mosquitoes and insects to breed.
James Cook University's Associate Professor Ross Alford said toad numbers tended to fluctuate depending upon the seasons and breeding could easily be stymied by long periods of drought.
"Their numbers definitely go up and down, especially if you get a few years without much rain," Professor Alford said.
"You've got to get good enough rain to keep water long enough for tadpoles to get through.
"If that happens you'll have a bunch of toads again."
Professor Alford said the survival rate of toads was extremely low, with about three in 10,000 tadpoles growing into adults.
During a good wet season toads can breed more than once with with 7000 to 30,000 eggs each time.
Professor Alford said the amount of low-lying land that had been drained or developed and creeks turned into concrete drains had been a factor in limiting breeding of toads and native frogs.
"Toads are versatile. They can breed in anything from a river to a relatively small pool of water," he said.
Unlike many native frogs, the cane toad did not need special food or conditions to start breeding.

Looks like another assult from the north...... HAHAHAHAHA :)
