Sick and moribund individuals were collected, packaged and transported to Cooktown where they were dispatched by plane to Rick Speare via Keith McDonald (QDEH).

This was the first observation of “the event” associated with the declining frog phenomena in the wild. Subsequently sick and dead frogs have been found among many other species of frog in Australia and elsewhere.
