''Myobatrachus gouldii'', the Turtle Frog, is a species of Anura family Myobatrachidae. It is the only species of the genus Myobatrachus and is found in Western Australia.

Description

M. gouldii is 45 mm long and has small legs, eyes and head in proportion to its rotund body. The protruding head and arms and back have a similar form to turtle, giving the common name Turtle Frog. The back can appear greyish or brown, with a distinct pink hue, and is smooth and shiny; the underside is rough and of a pale colour flecked with brown. The species can burrow and, unusually for a frog, does this by digging forward.

Ecology

The species has similarities to

Arenophryne rotunda

in diet and behaviour, but is distinguishable by its size. Breeding takes place when pairs form a burrow nest and the female leaves 15-20 eggs, 5-7 mm long. These eggs are the largest of an Australian frog and the progeny will emerge fully formed, undergoing development within the egg. The frog can be found away from water courses under logs on sandy soils. It will emerge from the burrow at times of rain.

Threatened Status

Westralian Anthem

  Westralian Anthem

G OD bless our golden West;
       With fortress strength its rulers bless,
  A nation's honour to possess
         In this our golden land.
  Keep from our shores all war and strife;
  Give help to all that strive for right;
  In loudest anthems all unite
         For God to bless the West.

  Let's all united stand
  In brother—a glorious band—
  In fealty to defend his land,
         Our great and glorious West.
  God bless our rulers all;
  Be their guide at duty's call;
  For with Thy help we cannot fall
         In this our glorious West.

Durack family

The Durack family are the Australian descendents of Jeremiah Durack [and his brothers?], a European pioneer who established himself in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The later works or prominence of notable descendants has brought a recognition of the family, most notably Dame Mary Durack's seminal work of the early australian pastoralists, Kings in Grass Castles. Their history is also intertwined with the people whose country they were establish themselves from.

Pumpkin (1850? - 1908) Boontamurra tribe, Cooper Creek district, west Queensland, was about 18 in 1868 when Patrick Durack established Thylungra station on Cooper Creek.
