🐸 Calling all Kangaroo Island frog spotters 🐸

The FrogWatch SA Spring Census starts today.

From 1–8 September, residents are encouraged to record frog calls in their gardens, farm dams, creeks, wetlands or local bushland.

Every recording contributes valuable information that helps ecologists map frog species and understand where populations are thriving and how they change over time. Even recording a location where no frogs can be heard provides useful data.

No experience is required—experts will identify the calls you submit.

📲 Download the FrogSpotter app, step outside, listen for KI’s spring frog chorus and submit your recording.

🛡️ Planning ahead helps protect what matters on Kangaroo Island

National Biosecurity Week runs from 24 to 30 August 2026, but protecting Kangaroo Island from unwanted pests and diseases requires action every day of the year.

Our isolation has helped keep KI free from many pests and diseases found on mainland Australia. This protects our unique environment, native wildlife, agricultural industries and local economy.

Whether you’re returning home, visiting family or travelling to KI for work or a holiday, you can help:

🍯 Don’t bring bees, honey, honeycomb, beeswax products, bee-handling equipment or hive materials.

🥔 Don’t bring seed potatoes or unwashed potatoes. Washed or brushed potatoes for eating must be in new, unopened packaging.

🍎 Check restrictions before bringing fruit and vegetables, particularly if you have travelled through a fruit fly outbreak area.

🌱 Don’t bring declared w**ds or prohibited pest plants and animals.

🥾 Remove soil, mud, w**d seeds and plant material from vehicles, machinery, camping equipment, work gear, boots and clothing.

🚤 Clean boats, diving gear and fishing equipment to reduce the risk of introducing marine pests.

⛴️ Travelling to Kangaroo Island? Please be aware that regular biosecurity checks are conducted at the Cape Jervis ferry terminal, with checks also undertaken at Kingscote Airport. Check the restrictions before packing and allow a little extra time for your journey.

If you’re carrying a restricted item or are unsure, use the amnesty bins provided at KI entry points.

🚜 Be mindful of farm biosecurity. Stop and read the signs at farm gates, contact the landholder before entering and follow all property access and biosecurity instructions. An open gate is not an invitation to enter.

📸 Flowering canola crops may make a beautiful backdrop, but paddocks are private property and working farms—not public photo locations. Please stay outside the fence unless you have the landholder’s permission.

Entering crops can damage plants and create safety risks. Footwear and vehicles can also carry soil, w**d seeds, pests and disease material between properties. If you stop to take a photo, remain in a safe public area and keep the fence between you and the crop.

👀 Please report unusual pest plants or animals promptly to the Kangaroo Island Landscape Board on phone 08 8553 2476 or email [email protected]
