Today in Zootaxa we describe a frog Assa wollumbin after the Bundjalung name for its mountain home. The tweed caldera is thought to have erroded over ~23 million years eventually isolating this species. #NewSpecies #Zootaxa #WildOz @Zootaxa

Around this time last year I was in Darwin photographing what's now known as Litoria spaldingi (Eastern Crazy Chicken Frog / Spalding's Frog) calling. This year I'm a bit colder out in the rain on the east coast, wishing to be back in the tropics. #Frog #WildOz #newspecies
