Corroboree frogs (/ k ə ˈ r ɒ b ə r i / kuh-ROB-uh-ree) comprise two species of frog native to the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales in Australia. Both species are small, poisonous ground-dwelling frogs. The two species are the southern corroboree frog (Pseudophryne corroboree) and the northern corroboree frog (Pseudophryne pengilleyi ...
The southern corroboree frog (Pseudophryne corroboree) is a species of Australian ground frog native to southeastern Australia. [2] [3]The species was described in 1953 by Fulbright research scholar John A. Moore from a specimen collected at Towong Hill Station at Corryong, Victoria, and sent to the Australian Museum.
The northern corroboree frog (Pseudophryne pengilleyi) is a species of Australian ground frog, native to southeastern Australia. [2] It is differentiated by the southern corrboree frog by having slightly narrower and greener stripes, while also being smaller. [3] Northern corroboree frogs live in waterlogged grasslands and adjacent woodlands. [3]

The park is home to one of Australia's most threatened species: the corroboree frog. The endangered mountain pygmy possum and the more common dusky antechinus are located in the high country of the park. There are also significant populations of feral animals in the park, including brumbies or wild horses.
The brown tree frog can also be found. The northern corroboree frog has a dramatic yellow and black striped appearance, but is very rare; a breeding program is trying to save it from extinction. It lives in high, boggy country in the ACT and also in the Fiery Range in New South Wales.
