I can't help you either, if you had it's wrapper I may be able to identify it....

I think that the frog looks like a rare Kakadu Puffer Frog.They originally lived around Ayers Rock(Uluru).They were much favoured by the Aboriginals as an aphrodisiac when grilled with H.P sauce and white vinegar.Just driven back from Buderim Qld,boy oh boy,we are not motorists any more,fighter pilots maybe.Worked out in the end that if I stayed behind a Semi/BDouble I would be on the speed limit,miss all the Kodak operators and arrive safely.Back to the frog looking up Google and I am sure that the little bugger will be identified.Cheers Ibbo.

"Maybe this little fella its the male .  Where did you say you found them ."
We have  a pond at the side of the house and there are hundreds of them now and some have even taken up residence in our self watering pots ( will show you another shot - but they are the same.  Little difference between any of the ones we have seen - all much this same mottled green - brown color. they have a fairly marked golidish color sripe down from the head to the tail.   The only exception to the rule is image 2, which is resident in one of the pots and he is exceptionally people friendly and quite happy to have human company and happy to pose for the camera at any time.

I will check out those sites and thanks everyone for your interest and will keep pursing - anyone want any frogs

ah!! now image two I do know, thats your common old garden variety green tree frog, quite common in qld.

if you had bell frogs in your garden you would very quickly be quarantined and kicked out and the whole area declared a non traficable reserve

you should have kept the box from the first one!! that would have told you what it was

Got a green tree frog, a brown flecked frog, and a lot of liddle white ones come up in the toilet bowl, dont matter whose bum is on it
my problem is what is the tree, I parked under in the freebie at Dauringa Truck Stop, no bees or birds anywhere near it??

Hi Guys,
Mike and Judy, your frog in the second Pic. looks to me like a Spotted Marsh Frog. Limnodynastes Tasmaniensis.
Lynnenbarry, the closest thing I can find going by Pic No 1., is Perons' Tree Frog. Litoria Peronii. The crossed eyes are definitely the same, and depending on which picture you get, the colour is very like it.

Best I can do so far,
Cheers,
xina.
