Hi Scott
The article does not mention Queensland. The link has Queensland in it
because it was a story from Channel 7 Queensland. My post does split the
URL/link but you can copy it all in. Carnaby's Black Cockatoo
Calyptorhynchus latirostris is the correct common name according to
Christidis and Boles 2008 and yes it is a Wa species.
Cheers
Roy

Indeed the original ABC report gets the state right -
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/01/08/2787996.htm "Hopetoun 6348"
... 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.
