Ranoidea gilleni
—
Centralian Treefrog


This close relative of Australia's well-known Green Tree Frog has a small distribution, found only in gorges and other waterholes in the MacDonnell Ranges and nearby. I saw many of them, ranging from brownish with hints of green to nearly solid bright green, all with at least a few scattered spots.


A couple more from the same spot on the following evening.
