Arriving home last night (after having the BEST melt-in-your-mouth lamb shanks at Padbury's Restaurant) I heard this strange sound emitting from the front yard and exclaimed,
"We have a Motorbike Frog!!"
Apparently Matt has heard it a few nights beforehand but I hadn't before.
It's weird because Motorbike Frogs are common in Perth, but I had never heard one 'live' before. I had heard recordings and thus knew what the call sounded like.
He's even calling now it's morning. I hope he manages to find a girlfriend. OMG it would be awesome to have taddies, I hope the fish don't eat them or the eggs!

The *bonk* you can also hear on the track is the Pobblebonk or Banjo Frog, another common frog in the region.
