Meet Phillip - The Brown Tree Frog

Philip is our little brown Tree Frog. He is often found living in the restaurant dining area. He sits on the overhang between the windows and gazes our over the restaurant.

He has become our little weather gage and we usually know when it is going to rain, as little Philip then ventures our to find a mate.

He has amazing sticky feet and can climb up the window to his favourite little resting spot. If you spot him by day, he often has his eyes semi-closed and his head flat. Once you visit him again at night, his eyes open right up and he looks incredibly bright and awake.

Unfortunately, Philip has been known to have abit of a drinking problem and has been spotted on various bottles in the bar. This was him perched on the Drambuie bottle last year October. He seems to have got the situation under control for the moment as we haven't spotted him at the bar for a few months now.

We believe it has something to do with his new girlfriend..... Trisha.

Philip had been away for a number of weeks and every morning James and I would check if the little fellow was in his usual spot above the windows but.... no sign of the little guy.

So, then we decided to look elsewhere for him and discovered he was looking at moving. His little perched spot was just not big enough for him and Trish. We see them both now in their new home, above the windows, higher up in the roof lining. I believe the view must be fantastic!

We see less of Philip though....
