I need help …. Can someone out there in our wonderful birding area of Australia tell me how they break up the various areas of each state and territory of Australia. Eg: At this stage I record the Southern Cassowary as being located in Qld. Eg: At this stage I record the Western Thornbill as being in WA Eg: At this stage I record the Grey Whistler (Pachycephala simpled simplex) as being in the NT as compared with the other spp being in Cape York area to say .. Cairns. I was wondering if someone has come up with a divisional area of Australia so as I can now record birds in various sections/areas of each and every state …. eg: the Southern Cassowary as being in Far North Qld The Western Thornbill as being located in s.w. WA The Grey Whistler (simplex spp as being located in coastal NT That way I would be able to see more clearly, if I sighted a bird ‘out of it’s normal range’ plus at the same time, record birds that endemic to certain areas within each state of Australia. Gee … dont want to start a big discussion on this .. just wondering what other people do.

Hi Jude I know the problems only too well, so good luck in sorting it out!

A bonus with entering your observations into Eremaea is that then beginner birders get an idea of places to go and what they might expect to see there. It’s also a help to birders when travelling interstate. If you give permission, your entries into e-Bird can still be accessed for by BirdLife to keep Atlas information up to date.

I had difficulty recording bird sightings once Eremaea became eBird, and after trying for hours, gave up. Because of the apparently shaky status of the eastern subspecies of Partridge Pigeon, I would have liked to do so.

Hi Jude, Have you considered using Eremaea eBird? Your observations can be reordered at previously defined hotspots or you can make your own personal locations. They become part of a worldwide database and the fine positional accuracy is invaluable for plotting species distributions among a host of other things. Better still, it is free. Have a look at the web site, http://ebird.org/content/australia/ There is a mountain of information, especially in the Help section Regards Roger Giller. —–Original Message—– Sent: Sunday, May 04, 2014 6:40 PM I need help ….

Hi Jude and others The Australian bioregions and biosubregions are a good starting point.

Pastoral districts used to be a way of listing distributions, particularly for plants.
