Range

Eastern Queensland, from about Murgon, north to Cape Melville. Wilson & Swan (2010) reports them as far north as Coen3. "The Coen record (AM R 16541) has been questioned on the grounds that subsequent extensive faunal surveys in the area have failed to reveal additional specimens (K. McDonald, in litt.). However, there is no basis to fault the data associated with the specimen."2

Found in the following Australian states/territories

Queensland

Habitat

Moist woodland to closed shrubland and forest. Arboreal and saxicolous; sometimes on man-made structures (e.g., brick structures).2
