=== Amphibians === The Park is home to ten species of frogs including threatened ‘acid frogs’ termed as such by having the ability to inhabit acidic water bodies. Their preferred habitat is wet coastal heathlands with acidic waters (pH less than 5). Significant threats include the destruction of coastal wetlands and changes in water quality and availability.<ref>Faulkner, C. 2005. Wallum froglet. Nature Australia. '''28:5'''. 22-23.</ref> These species include the [[wallum froglet]] (''Crinnia tinnula'') listed as vulnerable in the NC Act, the [[Wallum sedge frog|wallum sedgefrog]] (''Litoria olongburensis'') listed in the EPBC Act and NC Act as vulnerable, and the [[Freycinet's frog|wallum rocketfrog]] (''Litoria freycineti'') listed as vulnerable in the NC Act. These three frogs are also recorded outside the Park in the Lower Mooloolah River Environmental Reserve which provides a buffer zone and extension of habitat.<ref name=":7" /> Acid frogs can tolerate fire events as long as suitable water sources are available.<ref>Lowe, K., J. G. Castley, J. Hero. 2013. Acid frogs can stand the heat: amphibian resilience to wildfire in coastal wetlands of eastern Australia. International Journal of Wildland Fire. '''22:''' 947–958.</ref> The introduced [[cane toad]] (''Rhinella marina''), prevalent across south east Queensland, is also recorded in the park.<ref name=":2" />
