Giant Burrowing Frog (Heleioporus australiacus)

The Giant Burrowing Frog is found along the Australian east coast from Newcastle to Gippsland. Following spring and autumn storms it calls from a sheltered position or a burrow, making a soft hooting owl like noise. The species is listed as vulnerable (EPBC) mainly due to habitat fragmentation and clearing.
