An extremely pretty eastern banjo frog [also known as the pobblebonk, Limnodynastes dumerili], a species native to eastern Australia. These frogs burrow during the day and emerge at night and during rain. Images by Flickr user Sean.

What kinds of amphibians do you generally see in your area?
Typically common eastern froglets (Crinia signifera), the eastern banjo or pobblebonk frog (Limnodynastes dumerili) named because of their distinct call that sounds like the sting of a banjo being struck, the Australian green tree frog ( Litoria caerulea) which I always found in the toilet or shower when I lived in a more rural area a few years back.
