This species is in decline in some areas and whilst records exist for the species in this locality, most seem to be not recent sightings (except one by NPWS in 2016).

I reckon this is a Green and Golden Bell Frog (Litoria aurea), which is a very good find, as it's listed as an endangered species in NSW.
Whilst this specimen appears to be quite dull in colour (not the bright colours often associated with the species) L. aurea are known to be dull olive green like this. Despite the drab colouration, there are enough distinctive morphological features visible to positively ID it as Litoria aurea imo. i.e smooth back, dorso-lateral fold and a distinct tympanum.
