“June 5 is #WorldEnvironmentDay and Dad took me cycling to see the just completed Growling Grass Frog breeding habitat #wetlands at Moomba Park in Fawkner constructed by #MerribekCouncil.

The Growling Grass Frog is endangered.

Stunning mural artwork.
These are all animal species in the #MerriCreek catchment. We should celebrate them, conserve their habitat and foster their continued co-existence in our urban environment.
