The distribution of cane toads in Australia

Cane toads have spread well beyond Queensland (where they were first introduced) into coastal New South Wales, the Northern Territory’s Top End and the Kimberley region of Western Australia. They are now moving westward at an estimated 40 to 60km per year.
