Wallum Sedgefrog
Litoria olongburensis
VulnerableNCA V · EPBC V
The Wallum Sedgefrog is a tiny wetland specialist of coastal south-east Queensland, living among sedges, heath and shallow acidic swamps. In the Redlands and Moreton Bay region, it belongs to the fragile wallum country — low, sandy wetlands where water quality, seasonal rain and surrounding vegetation all matter. Its survival is threatened by habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation, making this little frog a quiet marker of whether our coastal wetlands are still healthy.
