Garry the Growling Grass Frog refers to the Growling Grass Frog (Litoria raniformis), one of south‑eastern Australia’s most iconic and now vulnerable wetland species.

The name “Garry” is often used informally in education programs, frog census activities, and community conservation projects to make the species more relatable, especially for kids and local engagement.

The short‑finned eel (Anguilla australis) is a native, culturally significant, and historically abundant species in the Maribyrnong River system, including the Brimbank stretch. It is one of the two major eel species in Victoria and was a key food source for Wurundjeri Woi‑wurrung people.

Significance

This project, described as "Know Your Place - Animation", was undertaken by Trevor Marriott, with the sponsorship of Brimbank City Council and the generous support of the Sunshine & District Historical Society, who served as the project’s benefactor.
