The Australian Museum is working on the world-leading citizen-science project called FrogID.

This initiative is focused on one of our most threatened animal groups – frogs. The rapid disappearance of frogs is a warning about the rate of environmental change as their physiology makes them highly sensitive to changes on land and in water.

To help educate the local community about the issues facing our frogs, a team member from the Australian Museum will be hosting a FrogID workshop at Bunnings Warehouse Tamworth!

They will present on local frogs, the Frog ID project and results, lifecycle, habitats and have some question time at the end.

This is a great opportunity for families to come and learn more about frogs and how they can help, a great initiative to get kids involved in.

While some events associated with this weekend’s Outlander Gathering are now fully booked, there are still ways to join in the fun.

The gathering at the Standing Stones is now booked out, and residents and visitors should note that the road to the area will be closed for the weekend.

There are tickets still available for the Outlandish Dinner on Saturday night,  at the Hereford Steakhouse, which will be transformed for the night into the Palace of Versailles.  

The dinner starts at 6.30pm for 7pm.

Tickets are $50 per person, which includes live entertainment. Phone 6732 1355 to book.

Also this weekend, the Glen Innes Opportunity Shop will be having a Scottish themed sale.

Outlander is a TV series about a fictional wartime nurse who finds herself transported back to the Scotland of 1743.

Everyone is invited to dress up as their favourite Outlander character as Glen Innes becomes the set, and we all become the cast.

Tamworth Regional Council together with the NSW Government is very excited to present 'An evening with Phill Nosworthy', as part of Small Business month in October.
