well done! This is a spotted grass frog- or machine gun frog as its call is tacktacktack tacktacktack.
interesting to see them out so early in the season- must have been all the recent rain. This species will start calling in early spring and is one of the most common species in Canberra. If you are interested in doing frog surveys in spring for the annual FrogCensus email frogwatch@ginninderralandcare.org.au
