Extra Distribution Information

Disjunct in two widespread populations in arid coastal-subcoastal west and arid inland E Australia—western population throughout Pilbara, WA, north to southern fringes of Great Sandy Desert (Port Hedland-Rudall River), east to western fringes of Gibson Desert, Lake Carnegie and Lake Barlee, formerly south to the Murchison River during earlier settlement, and now spreading south almost to the northern catchments of the Swan-Avon River, WA, (Moora-Jurien)—eastern population centred in Lake Eyre, Bulloo and W Murray-Darling basins, north to the Barkly Tableland, Selwyn Range, and headwaters of the SE Gulf of Carpentaria drainage (Richmond-Hughenden-Prairie), QLD, east to the westernmost outliers of the Great Dividing Range, sporadically reaching the Burdekin-Suttor and Dawson-Mackenzie Rivers catchments, Darling Downs and even coast in central and SE QLD, and Riverina, NSW, spreading south since 1960s into central and NE VIC north of the Great Dividing Range and adjacent mallee lands of SA as far as the South-East of SA, and west to the Mt Lofty-Flinders Ranges, SA, the west catchments of Lakes Eyre and Torrens and around the fringes of the Strzelecki and Simpson Deserts to east margins of Sandover Desert, NT, and now becoming established on upper Eyre Peninsula and Kangaroo Is., SA. Probably introduced populations established at mouth of Gawler River, SA, since 1940–50s, and on NSW central and NE coast and around metropolitan Sydney and Perth since 1960s, rare visitor to TAS midlands. Probably intergrades with C. s. normantoni (Mathews, 1917) at northern limits around south-eastern head of Gulf of Carpentaria—but evidence lacking.

Plains of W VIC, south to coast, east to Port Phillip Bay (Carrum, Mornington Peninsula), north to Great Dividing Range, Victorian Pyrenees, Grampians and lower Wimmera, and west to the South-East of SA west to Lacepede Bay and north to the Tatiara—also central Murray River system, VIC-NSW, east to Cobram and Shepparton and now spreading sporadically north-east through Riverina, NSW to west slopes of Great Dividing Range, north to the lower Murrumbidgee River (and formerly Lachlan River), NSW, west to about Robinvale (rarely Mildura), VIC, and sporadically south through northcentral VIC towards western VIC population—apparently rare visitor to TAS. Introduced and locally established in S Mt Lofty Range and at mouth of Gawler River, SA, and around Sydney and Brisbane—records from Darling River drainage (e.g., Byrock) are unconfirmed.


Note that conversion of the original AFD map of states, drainage basins and coastal and oceanic zones to IBRA and IMCRA regions may have produced errors. The new maps will be reviewed and corrected as updates occur. The maps may not indicate the entire distribution. See further details below.
