Field Notes
Description:
This gorgeous little Frog is approximately 3-4 cm (1.18-1.57 inches). Given the size I have narrowed the identification to possibly Rock Frog (Litoria coplandi). Reference: http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:afd.taxon:79… Any help with confirming the identification is appreciated!
Habitat:
Wedged in a tiny crevasse on the rock wall at Homestead Falls. These falls were pouring into Lake Argyle, East Kimberley. Lake Argyle "[and Lake] Kununurra Ramsar Site comprises an extensive system of artificial freshwater reservoirs, with their associated permanent wetlands, formed by damming the Ord River in the eastern part of the Kimberley Region of northern Western Australia. The reservoirs include Lake Argyle and Lake Kununurra. There are numerous endemic plants and a rich fauna. The 1,500 km2 (580 sq mi) site was designated a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention on 7 June 1990, making it Ramsar Site 478."

Notes:
Jumped out of the kayak at Homestead Falls for a break and explore. I went searching along the rock wall and came across this little one tucked up in a little crevasse.
