Lack of money shuts down Australia's only frog hospital
Australia frog hospital to close
By Phil Mercer
BBC News, Sydney



Frogs are considered to be environmental barometers
Australia's only frog hospital is closing down due to lack of money.

For the last six-and-a-half years it has treated hundreds of amphibians struck down by illness and injury.

Researchers have said public apathy towards the plight of Australia's frog population has been an important factor in the hospital's demise.

The frog hospital has been operating out of a small flat in the tropical city of Cairns in Queensland.
