Initially appointed to a teaching post at the university, she was inspired to research frog taxonomy and their ecology from the 1970s. She identified over 30 new species of frogs during her career. She has contributed to over 120 publications.

Gurrumul's toadlet is a species of frog in the family Myobatrachidae. It is endemic to the Wessel Islands of the Northern Territory, Australia. It is only known from 3 specimens collected in 1993 and was found to be a distinct species via genetic analysis, and thus little is known about its diagnostic features from other Uperoleia species. It can be distinguished from the stonemason's toadlet by its rounded inguinal glands, but appears physically identical to the flood plain toadlet.
