Hi donnanchris,

Terrific, many thanks, fingers crossed here too!

If still around, they will be sitting on the foliage of Banksia shrubs.

I am easiest to contact via Facebook Messsenger where I am on as 'Allen Sundholm'.

Cheers,
Allen

G'day @donnanchris ,

You're on the money with this one! Eastern Whipbird (Psophodes olivaceus). Calling in this species is often call-and-response between males and females. This one in particular is a solo male!

Cheers,

Psophodes olivaceus

Hello, @donnanchris !

The frog calling in your audio is the Tusked Frog (Adelotus brevis). Yep, tusked! The species has 'tusks' on their lower jaw, and males use them to battle over breeding sites!

A native frog species, and the only species of it's genus!

Adelotus brevis

G'day, @MVM ,

This appears to be a Eastern Crevice-Skink (Egernia mcpheei). They are usually in rocky areas of higher elevation, but very occasionally (in your part of the world), they are found a little lower down. Nice find!
