Fleay's barred frog (Mixophyes fleayi) is a large species of frog restricted to small pockets of rainforest in northern New South Wales and south-eastern Queensland, Australia. This species has a fragmented distribution in wet forests from Conondale Range in Queensland in the north, to Yabbra Scrub in northern New South Wales to the south. The majority of the population occurs in rainforests above 400m, however it is also known from some lowland rainforest sites. This species has declined from many sites in Queensland since the 1970s. It is currently known from Conondale and Main Range, Springbrook and Lamington Plateaux and Mount Barney in Queensland and Border Ranges, Mount Warning, Nightcap Range and Yabbra and Tooloom Scrub in New South Wales. Historical area of occurrence is about 7000 km². This species has disappeared completely from Bunya Mountains and Mount Tamborine in Queensland.
Fleay's barred frog is a moderately large species of frog, up to 90mm in length. It is light brown with darker blotches and is finely granular on the dorsal surface. There is an irregular darker brown band starting behind the eyes and continuing down the back.... Wikipedia →

Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Fleay's Barred Frog sighting in Lamington National Park on a given day, based on 176 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the most-seen of the 14 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January, March and November
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Fleay's Barred Frog in Lamington National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June and July, the lowest months. Those are among Lamington National Park's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in August.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Fleay's Barred Frog sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Fleay's Barred Frog sightings, Lamington National Park has the highest daily chance: about 40%. Next come Springbrook National Park (Australia, about 10%).
Same genus: Mixophyes
The closest relatives of the Fleay's Barred Frog that you can see in Lamington National Park (genus Mixophyes, Australasian Barred Frogs) are Great Barred Frog (about 30%) and Giant Barred Frog (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fleay's Barred Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Lamington National Park (176 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
