Litoria infrafrenata
I am assuming this juvenile is Litoria infrafrenata, also known as the Giant Tree Frog, Litoria infrafrenata is the world's largest tree frog (See an adult here http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/713... ). This species is native to the rainforests of northern Queensland, Australia, New Guinea, the Bismarck Islands and the Admiralty Islands. This frog is nocturnal.
Initially on hedge vegetation in a large, semi-urban yard & garden, in close proximity to a disturbed patch of remnant lowland forest.
I apparently disturbed its slumber while planting a hedge plant, and it jumped on my arm. I couldn't resist photographing it even though it is frequently observed here. In the last photo I transferred it to a plant (Alpinia galanga).
