While Saproscincus does occur in the Braidwood area, there is no way of telling what species these are just from these images. If you see and photograph the hatchlings, then that may be a different ball game.

Hello, @donnanchris !

The frog calling in your audio is the Tusked Frog (Adelotus brevis). Yep, tusked! The species has 'tusks' on their lower jaw, and males use them to battle over breeding sites!

A native frog species, and the only species of it's genus!

G'day, @MVM ,

This appears to be a Eastern Crevice-Skink (Egernia mcpheei). They are usually in rocky areas of higher elevation, but very occasionally (in your part of the world), they are found a little lower down. Nice find!
