Australasian Grebe trying, unsuccessfully, to down a very large frog.

Wonder if that is an Eastern Banjo Frog?

Thanks Matthew, see Limnodynastes tasmaniensis (Spotted Grass Frog) for another view (all images taken from a long way away with a 1000 mm lens)

Great set of photos and interesting to see the frog is a Spotted Grass Frog, I think the deceptively small size of the grebe made the frog look larger than that species.
