I'm afraid it's a Cane Toad Kate.

Give up with your cane toads will you, it was found in the middle of the outback so I aint going to kill it because we are home now, it was such a cutie.

Chris the frog (NOT Toad

) had orange spots you can't really see them on the photo but I don't think it was a cane toad,

Kate, I'm sorry but there is no doubt it is a Cane Toad, they are very easy to identify. They can have red or orange spots especially as toadlets but tend to be a uniform brown as adults but can even be khaki green. I do agree with you, they are cute and I really like them but I kill every one I see because of my love of native wildlife. It's not our fault they are here but it is up to us to try to minimize the damage they do.
