I am pretty sure now it was a
Bleating Tree Frog Litoria dentata. I have checked another great frog
website http://www.frogsaustralia.net.au
The NPWS Wildlife Atlas also
shows this species has been recorded at Yatteyattah NR.
Thanks to those of you who have
already responded.

Further to my email. The single call
is short 1-2 sec and not repeated immediately. There were at least 3 frogs I
heard. The call is made by a frog then the next time it calls is usually
>10-20 secs later.
Hope this helps.
I have been checking the very useful
http://frogs.org.au/frogwatch site without luck so far.

Subject: RFI Frog Call at Yatteyattah (NSW) [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
UNCLASSIFIED
Hi all,
I have been meaning to ask whether anyone can help me to id
a frog call I heard along a dry creek bed in Yatteyattah NR (near Milton, SE
NSW) on 7 March 2009.
At first I thought it was my stomach making noises then when
I got closer it was coming from the rocky muddy slope of the creek bed. This is
in dry, subtropical rainforest.
From a distance the short call sounds like a chainsaw
almost. The call duration is quite short, maybe no more than a second or two.
I would be grateful if anyone could give me some clue as to
the species involved.
Thanks
Marnix
