With the audio ignore the Marbled Frogs, Limnodynastes convexiusculus in the background.
This was two males, one of whom was amplexing the other. The calls were from a few feet away, but I saw one of these toadlets make the same call.
They look like superficially like U. crassa but their calls are more suggestive of U. borealis (which is out of range here). They don't sound like the crassa recordings I can find on Australian Museum Page.
Unfortunately, I can't find any call information on U. arenicola which is found in this area.
I will label this record as arenicola mostly just to try and draw some attention to it?
@reneecatullo - are these just crassa? Can the two species be differentiated by call or range, or anything?
Size of an Australian 20c coin. When it walks, there are orange areas inside the joints of the hind legs. Feet are not webbed. These features and the range are correct for the species as per 'Frogs of Western Australia' Tyler et al 2000.
Not 100% sure of ID for obvious reasons, but half webbed toes, line down centre of back.

Guessing tyleri with the yellow patch on arm, but it's a bit sandy
