Gday Maureen,

yes I love them too. As to the type, we have no idea. The lady with the original pond has had them for years and years and says she has never seen the frogs, only the spawn and the taddies. The second lady I gave eggs to says her son saw a frog about 2cm in length but exactly like a green tree frog. Do you know Q. if I found some more spawn of another type of frog, do they get along or do they eat each other? Like I said before I should google.

Where I used to work there was a lovely big deep pond and when I arrived at work at 7.30 the frogs would be calling in a single note call. As the day went on they changed from one to two, then two to three, and three to four until by the evening they had about 8 or 9 notes int heir song. Then the next morning were back to one note. One wold call and another answer. People must have thought I was balmy, I would stand in the car park smiling, listening and counting. I loved a rainy day after a dry spell then I was sure to be greeted by the frog's singing. I wonder how many of the other employees even noticed them.

You might be able to identify them from these sites

http://frogs.org.au/frogs/of/New_South_Wales/

http://www.frogsaustralia.net.au/conser ... otting.cfm

and this one I have often used for the call sounds which is sometimes an easier way of identifying them when you cant spot the little fellows

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.
