be reliably separated from then pattern and morphology of the hairs of the ovipositor valves. In P. affinis these hairs are very dense and fine with the tips of hairs not spooned, whereas in P. dorsalis there is a considerable distance between the hairs and the tips of hairs are spooned "

well done! this is the Peron's tree frog- the only frog in the ACT and region that has large toepads and is a climber- all other of our local urban frogs are ground dwelling. This species has a pupil that appears cross shaped. It is one of the most colourchanging frogs in Australia and can be anything from almost white to seemingly dark brown/black. My favourite!!
Litoria peronii
