The cruciform pupil is a give-away for Peron's tree frog.  They turn up all over the place outside and inside our house.

This frog appeared on an external bathroom window (1.5 m from ground level) last night in Ainslie. I’m not conscious of ever hearing a frog call in/near our garden.
Using Bennett’s Reptiles and Frogs of the ACT I’m unable to give it an id..a kind of tree frog? Length c.  40-50 mm. (Photo taken with flash)
Any ID suggestions welcome.
