Litoria dentata
Also known as Keferstein's Tree Frog, this tree frog is a member of the family Hylidae. Native to coastal eastern Australia, from SE Queensland, to around Eden in southern New South Wales. It's only a small frog, and this fellow was probably no more than 4-5 cms in length.
This frog is associated with coastal lagoons, ponds and swamps, in heathland, sclerophyll forest and cleared farmland. This spotting, even though found in a house, was very close to a coastal lagoon and dense native bushland with lush undergrowth. In the yard there were tree ferns, ground ferns, and banana palms.
Awful interior lights combined with insect lights outside made it almost impossible to get any sense of its true colour. I've done my best to edit out some weird colours.
