12.01.2022 The lost medals... On Monday 5 October, Rachel, a member of the public, found the below medals on her morning walk in Tugun which had the name 'Alexander Morris Griffiths' engraved on them. Not knowing who these belonged to, she posted them on a local community Facebook group which created a lot of buzz leaving her with 100s of messages and comments. To Rachel's surprise, Alex Griffiths was the founder of Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. Coincidently, on the same day she found... these medals, it was Alex Griffith's birthday... These medals are a very important part of Gold Coast history and we are delighted to be involved and help find the rightful owner of the medals. Alex Griffiths was a remarkable man that has a very interesting story. He was a beekeeper and flower grower and found that the wild rainbow lorikeets kept eating his prized blooms and so he started feeding them twice a day to stop them eating the flowers. The locals would come and watch as the interest grew, and it became quite the spectacle. It grew in popularity and is now known as one of the Gold Coast’s original iconic tourism experiences. In 1976 Alex Griffiths was in his later years and gifted the Sanctuary to the people of Queensland to be managed by the National Trust of Australia Queensland. We are so thankful to Rachel for her commitment to research Alex’s extraordinary life to put together the pieces of this story and together we hope to find that owner and would love to have the medals at the Sanctuary as a legacy to Alex Griffiths if the owner cannot be located. We are currently working with Police to find the person who is now missing these medals and ensure they get back to the rightful owner. If you have any information that may assist please contact us via messenger.

04.01.2022 INCREDIBLE NEWS! Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary have successfully bred the highly endangered Kroombit Tinkerfrog in captivity for the first time! Since 2018, our staff at have been working in collaboration with Queensland Park and Wildlife Service on breeding the critically endangered Kroombit Tinkerfrog in captivity. In early 2020, Kroombit Tinkerfrogs housed at our Amphibian Conservation and Research Facility bred successfully in captivity for the first time. In the pa...st few weeks, we have witnessed the first of the tadpoles from this breeding event transform into a tiny froglet, making history for the species. The Kroombit Tinkerfrog is a highly endangered species restricted to a handful of narrow rainforest gullies within Kroombit Tops National Park, 80 km south-west of Gladstone. Despite many years searching, the spawn and tadpoles of this highly cryptic species have never been found. The successful breeding of animals at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary has therefore allowed us to observe eggs and tadpoles of the Kroombit Tinkerfrog for the first time! Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and Queensland Parks and Wildlife Services intend to continue breeding and raising Kroombit Tinkerfrogs for release to the wild, where numbers of this species are now critically low. Captive breeding of Kroombit Tinkerfrogs is one of a number of actions being undertaken to help save this unique and ancient species from extinction Learn more about our Kroombit Tinkerfrog Conservation program here >> https://currumbinsanctuary.com.au/conse/kroombit-tinkerfrog
