Nice recordings, Paul.
Background frogs sound like the "Ornate nursery frog" (cophixalus
Ornatus) the knocking frogs sounds like "Black mountain nursery
frogs" (cophixalus saxatilis) or Striped Marsh frogs (Limnodynastes
peronili)
I'm not sure if they are in your area though?
I have some recordings very similar.
