Notes

The species is listed as endangered because of its small distribution and limited knowledge about it. It is probably secure but only occurs in a small range. Sightings in June/July 2004 expanded its known range by another 50km. Cane Toads have moved into the area in 2002. The impact of this is uncertain.

Breeding

Appears to breed throughout the year as tadpoles have been observed in the dry season (July) and calling is evident in the dry season as well as the wet season.
