Here is a male bleating tree frog, Litoria dentata, making its call (females don't call). To do this, the frog passes air back and forth between its lungs and this extraordinary bladder.

The dwarf green tree frog Litoria fallax is one of the more easily found frogs on our site. Here is a male calling from a waterlily pad.

The broad-palmed frog Litoria latopalmata.

Peron's tree frog Litoria peroni in a characteristic position on a tree branch and closely matching its colour. It can match its colour to other backgrounds as well.

One of the great barred frogs, Myxophyes balbus. We are not sure whether this species, listed as "vulnerable" is on our site, but we do have the closely-related M. fasciolatus. The barred frogs require moist forest, so we expect that the continued expansion of rainforest on our site will make a favourable habitat for them.

Tyler's tree frog, Litoria tyleri is similar to Peron's tree frog, but has a different call as well as a different coloration in its armpits.

The bonk... bonk... call of the eastern pobblebonk Limnodynastes dumerii is a familiar sound of summer evenings wherever there is pond or marshy ground.
