Hi Murphy- you are getting good at this!! well done
the Neobatrachus is a kind of plop-plop-plop-plop that can generally only be heard after much rain. The sound you are hearing is the Limnodynastes tasmaniensis or spotted grass frog. It goes a bit like spot-tot-tot-tot-tot or tuck-tuck-tuck.
I can hear the smooth toadlets and there is also the Crinia parinsignifera or plain froglets- if you listen to your recording again you will be able to hear the difference- one has a lower pitch- sounds more like a cork pulled out of a bottle- lower and slower, but teh plains froglet is the "squeaky gate" more high pitch and a bit shorter, also more frequent. You pretty much have 1 Smooth toadlet (uperoleia leavigata) sitting in the front seat calling every few second and the Crinia signiferas - plain froglets squeaking away in the background
your froggies are all cold or bored- they are not really going for it haha
