Hi Frank,
I may be wrong, but as far as I am aware, all Kookaburras in Tas.
originate from introductions. Someone with better knowledge than
mine may be able to say differently.

Thanks for all the help in putting these lists together.
I have just purchased the "CSIRO List of Australian Vertebrates, A
Reference with Conservation Status" by Mark Clayton et al. It
doesn't help a great deal as the information was available
elsewhere especially for the vagrants, but it does give some
guidance on a few species such as those I mentioned in NSW. The
big advantage is that it lists the species numbers, and I have
added this column to the spreadsheet. It doesn't include Pale-
headed Rosella, and I couldn't easily pick which sub species this
is, and use the number for the sub species. Does anyone have this
number? It is possible this is being treated as the nominate
Eastern Rosella and that Pale-headed is 286 and Eastern should be 288?
It includes a table of "Introductions of native species in
Australia and its territories". It is missing a few for WA, and
includes Musk Lorikeet which I have never seen here. It has a few
others that I am wondering about :
Emu (ACT). Doesn't Emu occur naturally in the ACT? I have it as
uncommon (and hence an x).
Australian Brush-turkey (SA). Does anyone have these details, and
do they still exist?
Gang-gang Cockatoo (SA). Ditto.
Laughing Kookaburra (Tas). Does it occur naturally in Tasmania
(including islands such as Flinders), or are they all introduced as
in WA?
It doesn't include Helmeted Guineafowl, Chukar Partridge or Barbary
Dove. Does anyone have species numbers for these?
Is there a species number for Black-billed Magpie? These are all
assumed to be ship assisted, but they are now on the main list.
House Crow does a number.
The other species that I am missing numbers for are either not
officially on the list (but I included them as possible), or they
are recent additions to the list, Were Collared and Vanuatu Petrels
regarded as sub species of some other species? In this case they
may have a number for the sub species.
