NOT work related, sorry

Rick would probably have seen these on his trip "up north" a couple of years ago.

Cane toads were introduced into Australia in 1935 in an attempt
to control pest beetles in the sugar cane industry.

They were unsuccessful
in their control efforts, but very successful at invading the ecosystems
of Australia’s north.

Cane toads were originally released
in Gordonvale in Queensland, but have spread west and south to now
cover 1/3 of Australia.

Gordonvale is a small suburb about five miles south of my place.

Here's a couple of light-hearted skits about them.
