New England isn't in Australia.

I might try learning sometime, but for now, I don't have a computer anymore (I'm borrowing a laptop for a couple days for homework) and I have a ton of homework right now. It'll have to wait. Maybe after I take my GRE?

There is a region in New South Wales called New England. So yes there is a New England in Australia.

Tom, Litoria is a genus in the subfamily Pelodryadinae or Australasian treefrogs. The Australasian eco-zone includes Australia, New Guinea, New Zealand and the islands of the Southwestern Pacific. It does not include the Philippines, Borneo, Sumatra, Java, or Sulawesi which are part of the Oriental zone, which also includes Southeast Asia, Southern China, Hainan, and India.

I feel dumb not knowing that. lol

Science use to be my thing. I even knew the meanings of some roots. Took a medical terminology class too. But that was years ago. I have forgotten it all.

Don't feel dumb. I think most people outside of Australia have never heard of the New England region of NSW. Even most of the people here in New England (the one you were thinking of) have never heard of NE/NSW.

I only know about NE/NSW because I have a field guide for the frogs of Southeastern Australia. I remember thumbing through and coming across the New England treefrog. I thought "WTF?" (and I don't mean White's treefrog, even though they are included in the book) It was an eye-opening moment.
