The whistling tree frog or Verreaux's tree frog, (Litoria verreauxii), is a frog occurring in Australia.
It has been divided into two subspecies, the Verreaux's tree frog (L. v. verreauxii) and the Verreaux's alpine tree frog (L. v. alpina). The alpine tree frog is restricted to the southern alps of New South Wales and Victoria. Verreaux's tree frog is widespread throughout south-eastern Queensland, coastal and highland regions of New South Wales, and south-eastern Victoria.

‘Twas the old flute still whistling ‘The Protestant Boys’.”
