AUSTRALIAN FROGS               27

Australian ground dwelling frog. Found in rainforests, Antarctic beech forests or wet sclerophyll forests; breeds in streams and ponds; after eggs are laid in water female flicks them onto the bank for development, eggs get washed back into the stream with rain and hatch. Almost always found near water. East coasts of northern NSW and southern Queensland.
