As a child in north Queensland I would find frogs hiding inside galvanised pipe fence posts. My recollection is that nearly all fence posts had a frog inside sometimes more than one.
A couple of years ago I mounted a couple of 90mm pipes vertically on a fence under a tree. They were to be frog refuges. I have never seen a frog near them.
Frogs do live at my address I hear them calling from the trees occasionally.
Listening to the radio recently I heard a representative of the local frog society recommending the vertical pipes as frog motels.
I have purchased some 40mm pipes (which is closer to the size of the galavanised pipes) to make more motels.
