Scott,
Carnaby's are the more common/widespread of the two species of WTBCs
in SW WA [The other is Baudin's]
Hopetoun is a small coastal town at the Esperance end of the
Fitzgerald River National Park [one of the more important biodiversity
hot spots in Australia].
Regards, Laurie.

Indeed the original ABC report gets the state right -

... work experience kids at the Seven site obviously failed geography.

They died of boredom from watching too much golf! Sorry for the
friviolity,
I could not resist. ;-)
Sorry for this also if it's a dumb question - what's a "Carnaby's
Cockatoo"
anyway? The picture looks like a White-tailed Black Cockatoo to me,
but they
are only a W.A. species aren't they, not a QLD one (as Seven news
classified
that story)? Googling for "Carnaby's Cockatoo" turns up this page
http://www.birdswa.com.au/projects/carnaby/Carnabys.htm which
confirms the
same species Calyptorhynchus latirostris.
The only "Hopetoun" that Google maps turns up is in Victoria, further
confusing the matter.
