1988 short film about the disastrous spread of the introduced cane toad, Bufo marinus. This film was made by Mark Lewis, whose latest release is 'Cane Toads The Conquest' (2010).
More than two decades after this film was made, the toads have spread to the northern area of Western Australia, and are also doing better than expected at colonising dry inland areas.
In this section, we learn that a book bound in cane toad leather was sent to Charles and Diana on the occasion of the royal wedding in 1981, and their letter of grateful acknowledgement is read aloud by the recipient.
Despite the toxicity of the toads, some people ingest toad poison for its hallucinogenic properties. One such individual is interviewed here.
