Keep the photographs of Mt Warning coming Craig...in every weather and every time of day. Sunrise, sunset, before a storm after a storm, with fences and fogs...

And on the geology here? Where are we, Craig? Looks like the Numinbah Valley, again.
It is a neat composition revealing an idyllic glade.

Looks like a great field site for geomorphologists, Craig. Could you comment on the geology here?

It is great to come in on this discussion once the species has been identified. Craig, I think by now you know my childhood home was Imbil. The rain forest comes within 100m of our town property there which runs along the creek for 800m. Only on one occasion that I recall, and a special and memorable one it was, these little fellows filled a small willow in front of our house.
The house and the willow are on the top riverine terrace, and in wet periods the terrace has maybe 15cm water standing on it for a couple of weeks. That standing water becomes tadpole swamp. Today it is more likely to be occupied by cane toads, but the variety of green tree frogs that spawned there then included the dainty tree frog and another small green tree frog and the large green tree frog.
I guess it only took one pair to find their way to the water, and then hundreds of these little mates eventually emerged from the swamp and ascended the branches of the tree. The willow normally droops, but laden with frogs it was as if covered in green and yellow snow.
I presume it will never happen again now that Bufus has taken over!!!

Nice photo! When I saw this photo looked like someone had painted it on canvas. Excellent!

You really have done well in every respect, Craig. Wonderfully sharp image, great colour and a great team working on identification.

Well done Craig. You were down low at lizard-eye-level! What size is this fellow - similar to a blue tongue?
