Gehyra australis, the Australian house gecko, northern dtella or top-end dtella, is a species of gecko native to northern and eastern Australia.[1][2] It is also widespread in Indonesia, alongside common house geckos and four-clawed geckos.

Gehyra australis is primarily an arboreal gecko inhabiting woodlands and coastal and riverine forests. It can also occur near human dwellings and gardens.[1] It is oviparous.[2]
