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.
