There are 9 species of frog thought to exist within the Frankston Nature Conservation Reserve including Verreaux’s tree frog and striped marsh frog.  The nationally threatened growling grass frog occurs within the reserve and the southern toadlet, now regionally rare, may still occur within the reserve. You can hear the sounds of frog calls all year around and especially after rainfall.
