I found this frog on my driveway last night.

What is it?

Not too sure about this one penny best you look it up on the link below..

Its looks like Cyclorana brevipes except it has different markings near the eye
Also they are suppose to live further north near the Qld border..

Its a dear little creature we have many frogs in our garden but I have only seen four types.
Did you know that you should rinse your hands in clean water and keep them wet when you hold frogs.
This stops the salts etc in your skin from irritating the frog.

Possibly striped marsh frog Limnodynastes peronii.

Could also be a Pobblebonk or Common Froglet. If it makes a call that sounds like an out of tune banjo then it is a Pobblebonk or Banjo Frog. If it makes a call like two glass marbles knocking together then it is a Common Froglet. Not sure what sort of call Striped Marsh Frogs make.

I think it could be an alsation or Terrier or possibly a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle (we call them Cockerdoodles over here in pom land).

Oh sorry for bothering you i just realised you said Frog and not Dog. I am going a little deaf in my old age.
