Frog
A bit of useless information, it looks like the frog is a Litoria caerullea, or Green Tree Frog.
Another interesting point is this flower was named after Fletcher who I think is the same Australian Zoologist who also has a frog named after him.
It's called Limnodynastes fletcheri, the Barking Marsh Frog, or, Fletcher's Marsh Frog.
I may be wrong on the second point, but as I said, "I think" it is one and the same person as he used to go up to New Guinea collecting specimens.

More frog info
No Albert, Fletcher's Marsh Frog is a different creature, the one here is the Litoria caerullea, or Green Tree Frog.
My son and I belonged to the SA Frog and Tadpole Study Group for many years which has affiliations with Prof Mike Tylor
the frog expert at the Adelaide Uni. One of his Phd students ran it. We are still involved in the annual SA Frog Census, and I still go swamping it occasionally recording their calls and photographing them.
Been thinking about getting tree frogs again for the GH to keep the fungus gnat populations down. ;o))
We still have frogs in our backyard pond, a remnant from the old days when my son was knee high to a grasshopper. :o)
