Frogs are generally fairly reclusive subjects, and the east coast of Australia is still feeling the effects of a longer than usual El Ninõ
event. When heavy rains fell for days during a survey of the water catchments arouns the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, it
provided a good opportunity to see what frogs were still about in the area. This specimen of Dryosophus phyllochroa was
hopping across a wet road near Woodford Dam.
