Daavid, that one im guessing is the great barred frog ( mixophyes fasciolatus) common along the lower qld and most of nsw coast.
another possiblity is the common Striped marsh frog (Limnodynastes peronii ) found from cape york to vic. Thats the world of frog id, its not easy, but its fun!

I must say I had picked it as a Striped Marsh Frog from:

http://www.fats.org.au/frogs/frogs/limperoni.html

but the Great Barred Frog would have to be a possiblity:

I will ask the photographer - who has this guy living on her property how big it is and what its call is like.

Daavid, one other remote possibility might be this frog, a subspecies of the great barred frog called
(mixophyes fleayi) although its quite rare and considered endangered, its tiny range encompasses a coastal area just covereing either side of the qld/nsw border. Its markings on its back look remarkably like yours dont you think? Its seems to be missing the extra stripes of yours tho and has the bars on his thighes, yours seems not to have. Tricky stuff froggy id. :lol:

They have a yellow stripe or pattern on the backs of their hind legs. IMO it does look like a peronii compared to the photos in the above links.

The green speckles on the back are common for peroni as well, heres a local found in my yard
