They are currently approaching Sydney, believe it or not. Apparently the toad has adapted to our climate to such a degree that they are comfortable in cooler climates. Only time will tell if they make it down to your neck of the woods - hopefully not.

Brianna, it is just as well that you have no desire to lick a Cane Toad - they are extremely poisonous. They have two poison glands on their back, just behind their head, and eject this poison when threatened. They have killed millions of our native animals, though surprisingly some have adapted, and learned to eat the toads and avoid the poison glands.
