Not a cicada. I can only hear Perons TF rather than a tettigonid But then I am auditory challenged!

Litoria peronii

Thanks very much Michael. It's not super important, just thought it might be like the cicadas which seem to be more easily identified by their call - probably because they're so much louder!

Hi Helen, I've tried to get an ID on from their song, a quote from the internet "Among tree crickets, the dominant song pattern is a loud, continuous, musical trill. Species giving such trills are difficult to identify by song alone because the differences in pulse rate or frequency can be subtle (although with practice, these differences can be learned)." However I will make a suggestion so that @RogerF gets an email about this.

It's not the L. peronii call I was hoping for an ID on

I meant to say the sound was coming from up in the foliage of a tall eucalypt
