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.
