We are a society of people based in New South Wales, Australia, who have a genuine interest in frogs and tadpoles. FATS Group members span a wide range of interests - naturalists, herpetologists, pet keepers, professional scientists and private people with a desire to learn more about frogs and our environment. It is our mission to increase the awareness and appreciation of the natural world. This site provides all sorts of information dealing with frogs and our group activities. Learning about frogs is also fun, and as this page shows, opens a door to a fascinating corner of the natural world.
