Thanks, Peter and Brian. I'm pretty confident that it is a pretty
common tree frog called a Desert tree frog, AKA red frog, AKA red tree
frog and not poisonous.

Oi!
We have the odd poisonous snake and a few deadly spiders but the
poisonousness of our fauna is vastly overstated!
One of the worst offenders is the cane toad which *is* poisonous and
which is causing havoc with the native fauna in tropical areas (and its
moving its range south all the time). And it's a bloody import!
AFAIK tree frogs are not poisonous but I wouldn't want to eat one. For
one thing, it's illegal....
Actually, we have green tree frogs here and every summer they turn up on
our kitchen window after dark to prey on the moths and beetles attracted
to the light from the kitchen. Better entertainment than TV I can tell
you :-)>
Nice shot, Christian. Can you remember how big it was?
Cheers
Brian

I was going through un-edited images
today and found this one from last December when I was down
under. I thought it was kinda cute the way he was
hanging out on the bubbler of the fountain.

Let me know if there are issues viewing the page. I
just recently put together my own gallery website and have
been testing it out for a few days.
Thanks.
