I.D this frog please

[Renagade]

Hi, these are really common around west oz, we always caled them 'green and gold bell frogs' but after more reasearch, those species aren't native to WA. my guess is a motorbike frog, but sources tell me they are not found on the coastal plain. this particular frog was in greenwood which is 10 min from the beach in perth. now i have made a bet with my brother that it is not a green and gold bell frog, i need to find out what it is. cheers

Strange looking fella.
Is the motorbike frog named for the noise it makes?

 

[Rainbow-Serpent]

If its not Green and Golden Bell (which it seriously looks like), then yeah, id say Motorbike Frog.
