Frogs
Frogs belong to a group of animals called amphibians. All Australian amphibians are frogs. There are about 4000 frog species worldwide and Australia has 208 frog species; many of these are endemic - that is, they are found nowhere else in the world. Frogs play a key role in many food webs, both as predators and as prey.

Hey Patrick all the images of fallax I could find had the dark markings stopping at the eye or extending slightly further, bicolor seemed to extend further down the body like this little guy. Sorry I didn't hear them calling and I know nothing about frogs :-)
Litoria fallax

@trevsci - what makes you think it's Litoria bicolor as opposed to the similar looking Litoria fallax.
Did you happen to hear or record it calling, as it can most easily be distinguished from L. fallax by its different call?

Thanks for reporting this Geoff. Whilst it is definitely upsetting, it is very valuable to have these sightings of their movements documented.
