We had another Litoria sp. tree frog at our place in Forde last week. It was a creamy colour.

We have had Peron's Tree Frog in the past so expect it may be this species.

Cheers

Only two of our (ACT) frogs are capable of climbing over metal fences e g Litoria peronii and L verreauxii but it's usually the Common Eastern Froglet Crinia signifera and Spotted Grass Frog Limnodynastes tasmaniensis that turn up in backyard ponds and rely on gaps in/under fences to get there. Some probably get in as froglets.
 
The dorsal pattern of these frogs except L. per have very variable back patterns and other features are sometimes required to ID them.
