User's notes
1. The new roadworks along former William Slim Drive have been very close to this large old wetland, and there is now bright street lighting and a brightly lit underpass close to the Drive side of the pond. This may be a reason why there were very few frog calls here.
2. For the species present, please check the recording, because my entry above, that there were two Crinia species, is from memory/guess only.
3. Note that in a couple of places, the unmown buffer is <1m wide, i.e. almost right to the edge of the pond. For most of the pond it appears to be 1-5m wide.
