The large definitive stamp & medallion, representing the Southern Corroboree Frog Pseudophryne corroboree, commemorates the centenary of Taronga Zoo in NSW, which has breeding programs for this rare frog. At just 2.5–3cm in length, this small, brightly coloured amphibian is one of the world’s rarest frogs. The frog was so named because its striped appearance was thought to resemble the ceremonial markings Indigenous Australians paint on their bodies in preparation for a corroboree.
