A good site for frog identification is http://frogs.org.au/
I agree it is not ugly. We try to encourage frogs in our back yard. I didnt notice if it had glands on it at all. I think you are right it is a burrowing frog as it was under about 4 inches of ash in the fireplace, about 100m from any water and I am happy that I cleaned the firplace out first before I lit a fire, I am not partial to frogs legs.
I will have a look at the website and if I cant identify it I will send a picture to the experts.
