Being immature might make them harder to identify, you have a pretty diverse selection down there! It's pattern and colour may not totally match the adult version, and adult versions can sometimes vary radically even within a species, so relying on the few pictures they have for each species in Heather's link might not be conclusive.

There is a field guide to frogs in Queensland that you might try to find at a library "Field Guide to the Frogs of Queensland" Eric Vanderduys, ISBN: 9780643106307. I've no idea if it's any good, but I always prefer a guide dedicated to the locale you're in. They usually pay more attention to distinguishing the relevant similar species of the area.

You could also try searching for an Australian "Field Herping" forum if the frog forum you tried wasn't dedicated to fieldwork.

Good luck and let us know if you have success!
