🌿💪 Tackling invasive neem trees is no small task, but thanks to a dedicated team effort, important groundwork is now underway to support the long-term recovery of riparian ecosystems along the Gilbert River.

From mapping infestations and trialing control methods, to planning future restoration works, the Gulf Savannah NRM field team is helping protect waterways, biodiversity and productive landscapes for generations to come. 🌱🌏

🧠 Fighting the facts: Q&A with Dr John Cook

In this Gulf Croaker feature, climate communication researcher Dr John Cook explores how misinformation spreads — and why it can be so difficult to correct, even when the evidence is clear. From psychology to social media dynamics, the conversation unpacks how “facts vs beliefs” battles play out in real time, and what effective climate communication really looks like. 🌏📊

The story highlights the importance of trust, clarity, and critical thinking in navigating today’s information landscape — especially when it comes to climate science and public understanding.

🌊 The Gulf goes under water

From seasonal floods to extreme weather events, this Gulf Croaker feature explores what happens when water takes centre stage across the Gulf Savannah landscape — reshaping country, challenging infrastructure, and testing the resilience of local communities. 🌧️🌿

It reflects on the increasing frequency and impact of inundation events, and how land managers, communities, and environmental practitioners are adapting to a landscape where water is both life-giving and increasingly unpredictable.

Join us in Dimbulah for Workshop #6 of our Climate-smart Agriculture series: Soil Erosion Control with Darryl Hill.

This practical, hands-on workshop will explore simple and effective ways to manage water runoff, reduce soil loss and support long-term, low-maintenance results on-farm. Darryl Hill brings more than 40 years of experience in soil conservation and safe machinery operation, sharing practical methods that can be applied across orchard rows, rills, gullies and erosion-prone areas.

📍 JB Citrus, 65250 Burke Developmental Rd, Dimbulah
📅 Friday, 26 June
⏰ 10am – 2pm
🥪 Lunch provided

🌦️ Season ahead: Climate update

Australia recorded its 4th warmest year on record in 2025, with a clear split in conditions — very wet across northern Australia and drier conditions persisting in the south.

In the north, extended wet conditions have supported strong pasture growth, but can also create challenges. Waterlogged soils can reduce oxygen to roots, slowing plant growth and affecting pasture health. As the season progresses, some paddocks may show yellowing, lodging, or declining feed quality as grasses mature.

🔍 On the climate drivers, La Niña is weakening, and while some models suggest a possible shift toward El Niño-like conditions from winter, forecasts at this range are uncertain. This means it’s important to keep an eye on updates as we move through autumn.

⚠️ While El Niño can increase the risk of below-average rainfall, impacts vary each year — so staying informed remains key.

📊 Keep monitoring seasonal conditions in the months ahead.

🐗 Mud, mayhem and tusks

From wallows to wetlands, this Gulf Croaker feature dives into the messy, yet vital, world of feral pig management across the Gulf Savannah. 🐖🌿

Exploring their environmental impact — from churning soils and damaging waterways to affecting native habitats — the story highlights the challenges land managers and rangers face in controlling one of the region’s most persistent invasive species, and the coordinated efforts underway to reduce their spread and impacts.

🌳 Across the Gulf Savannah landscape, a powerful story is unfolding about the deep connection between water, vegetation, and ecosystem health — and the quiet resilience of country in the face of change. 💧🌿

From wetlands and waterways to surrounding bushland, this story highlights how improved land and water management is supporting healthier habitats, stronger biodiversity, and more resilient landscapes across Far North Queensland. It’s a reminder that when water is cared for, everything connected to it has a chance to thrive.

🐸✨ Right on our doorstep in Far North Queensland lives an extraordinary group of frogs — and thanks to the painstaking patience and dedication of Biodiversity Officer Dr Edward Evans, we get a rare glimpse into their hidden world.

Through careful fieldwork, long waits in rainforest conditions, and a keen eye for detail, Ed has captured remarkable images of these species:

1. Graceful tree frog (Chlorohyla gracilenta)
2. Orange thighed frog (Chlorohyla xanthomera)
3 &4. Kuranda tree frog (Spicicalyx myola)
4. Mountaintop nursery frog (Cophixalus monticola)

Each one showcases the incredible diversity and endemism of the region’s amphibians, many of which rely on very specific rainforest habitats to survive.

🌿 The Kuranda tree frog in particular stands out as a local icon — a small but striking ambassador for the Wet Tropics and a reminder of the world-class biodiversity found just beyond our back doors.

These frogs aren’t just fascinating to observe, they’re also important indicators of ecosystem health, reminding us how much life is packed into even small pockets of rainforest when conditions are right.

🐸🌧️ Incredible wildlife, captured through incredible dedication, right here in Far North Queensland.
