Ecology and Behaviour
This frog is associated with a wide variety of habitats including coastal swamps, lagoons, dams, ditches, and garden ponds in forest, heathland, wallum country and cleared farmland. The Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog lives in reeds and similar plants both near and away from the water. They often will inhabit banana trees in the Northern areas of Australia, and are sometimes shipped with the bananas throughout Australia. They are known in Australia for becoming lost frogs by turning up in fruit shops outside of their normal range.
