fairly sure it is a Peron’s tree frog, I have them occasionally in my elk horns …they cackle..

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.
