Now's a good time to build a wildlife pond!

For those of you in Yarra Shire, and the Dandenongs in particular, who have been toying with the idea of building a frog pond - now is the best time to do it.

Between Autumn and Winter, the soil will be softer and easier to dig due to all that lovely rain, and the rain itself will fill your pond with lovely, fresh water :)

It also means you will get your pond ready for those frogs that commence the breeding season from Spring.  You might even be lucky and have other species, such as the Eastern Common Froglet, who breed all year round turn up fairly quickly!
