A species we hear at the pond only occasionally. They have been making their presence known since the heavy rain last week. This one was deep in forest, far removed from any standing water. And very obliging for the camera!

Limnodynastes dumerilii (Eastern Banjo Frog; Pobblebonk)

One of several large species of frogs out and about this night. This species lives under rocks or logs close to permanent water. Predictably, this one was alongside our small frog pond.

Limnodynastes peronii (Striped Marsh Frog)

In contrast to the Striped Marsh Frog, this species spends much of its adult life well away from water … including in tall trees. They come to water to breed. This male was calling loudly from a log in the frog pond.

Pengilleyia peronii (Peron’s Tree Frog)
