The Western Ausralian Motorbike Frog gets its name from the sound it makes - like a motorbike changing gears, followed by some growls and croaks.
Although sometimes referred to as a 'tree frog', this species is primarily terrestrial or ground-dwelling. However, Motorbike Frogs are also good climbers and can be found perching in low trees or shrubs and among rocks. They are often found considerable distances away from known wetland breeding sites.
They are the most commonly encountered frog in Perth suburban gardens, and usually the first species to colonize or breed in a new backyard pond.
