Littlejohn's tree frog or heath frog (Litoria littlejohni) is a frog from Australia.[2] It lives in New South Wales and Victoria.[3] It lives in Western Australia and the Northern Territory.[1][4][5]

The adult male frog is 40 to 51 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 52 to 68 mm.[6] This frog is light brown with darker marks and a dark band down its back and dark stripes from its nose to its armpits. It has a lighter belly. It has orange colouring where its legs meet its body.[3]

This frog lives in forests. It hides in plants and under dead leaves.[3]

This frog lays eggs in streams and swamps. The tadpoles live in slow-moving pools with sunlight.[3]

This frog is in danger in New South Wales because human beings change their forests and streams, because of climate change and because introduced species of fish eat their eggs.[3]
