The weird part is its actual call...it sounds like a mad evil scientist, and it keeps repeating the same laughing call over and over again without a break.

I'm in South East Queensland...anybody know what it could be?

jonno. i think the frog that is underneith your shed is a persons tree frog. l.personii. ( think thats the scientific name). i had one out side my tiolet in the trees. i used to catch them before i knew about the illigal issue. they are usually found in trees and high places though are some times found under houses, drains etc in your case the shed. they love dirty water and the water would atract insects so it is making its self at home

if you can get a pic we can confirm the spec.
