Frogs
Frogs belong to a group of animals called amphibians. All Australian amphibians are frogs. There are about 4000 frog species worldwide and Australia has 208 frog species; many of these are endemic - that is, they are found nowhere else in the world. Frogs play a key role in many food webs, both as predators and as prey.

A hint for the future. It can be difficult to tell the two Crinia apart without a peek at the belly. Even if you are able to include it in your comments; marbled black and white or granular grey. If you know that here, we could be more definite with this frog. Find images of the bellies of both species and get it clear in your head how it looks.
Crinia sp. (genus)

Yellow lumps on body, possibly indicative of a disease or infection?
The large yellow crust on the right-hand side of the body could not be removed with a stick. The animal was lethargic and didn't move during this process or photography. There were small pebbles loosely attached to the body by liquid, and other smaller yellow crusts.
