The Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog (Litoria fallax), is a small and very common tree frog found on the eastern coast of Australia, from around Cairns, Queensland to around Ulladulla, New South Wales. Individual frogs of this species are often found in having been accidentally relocated via transported fruit boxes. Confirmed sightings of breeding couples have confirmed their survival in Victoria's cooler climate.

“Midway the lake we took on board two manly-looking middle-aged men.... I talked with one of them, telling him that I had come all this distance partly to see where the white pine, the Eastern stuff of which our houses are built, grew, but that on this and a previous excursion into another part of Maine I had found it a scarce tree; and I asked him where I must look for it. With a smile, he answered that he could hardly tell me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A dwarf who brings a standard along with him to measure his own size—take my word, is a dwarf in more articles than one.”
