Burdekin frogs have been thrown a lifeline amid local housing shortages through rent-free housing courtesy of Lower Burdekin Landcare Association’s youngest green thumbs.
The ‘Frog Hotel’ was expertly designed and constructed by several Junior Landcare members, gathering on Saturday morning to build the pint-sized accommodation from the ground up.
Young builders made use of a pot, stones, and open-ended pipes to bring the project to life, with all works completed on the day.
The Frog Hotel now stands at the Lower Burdekin Landcare nursery on International Drive, awaiting its first amphibian tenants.
The organisation took to Facebook to share its delight with the efforts of all involved.
“The kids did such an amazing job,” it shared.
“[We] can’t wait for our first little visitors to come and sleep over.”
The Junior Landcare program is nurturing the region's next generation of land carers.
The group meets on the first Saturday of every month, giving children aged 6 to 12 hands-on experience through activities including building frog habitats, planting vegetable seeds and tending their own gardens.
