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.

Whoops, sorry about the typo for Crinia (ie not Cabrini!)

With headphones on I cannot hear any Lit latopalmata calls. I can however hear Lit verreauxii at the start of the call sequence and then again towards the end. Yes, both species of Cabrini calling.

I toad-ally agree with John's take on the sounds- weird as this is a loooong way away from any river system for latopalmata. Will Osborne has confirmed: NO latopalmata!

I used to do Frogwatch but needed help from @AnkeMaria on some species. This spot does not usually have much free water, if any, so was a bit surprised to hear so many frogs.

There is also Crinia signifera in the background and also what I think is Litoria latopalmata. Anyone else agree?
