Frogs of Western Australia

Western Australia is Australia's biggest state. It is a vast sweeping landscape differing immensely in form from the rugged gorges of the Kimberley, the dusty, red iron-ore laden hills of the Pilbara to the sandy Swan Coastal Plain and the lush green Karri and Jarrah forests of the southwest. Because there is such variety in the landscape, it is little surprise that WA is host to a diverse and interesting assemblage of frogs. It is second only to Queensland in the number of frog species, and hosts a range of species from the beautiful splendid tree frog of the Kimberley, to the desert adapted burrowing frogs of the dry interior.
