Hi all,

An unexpected last-minute business trip to Alice Springs a week ago
means I have finally made it to every state and mainland territory of
Australia. I was only there for 24 hours, but managed to clock up 48
species (none new unfortunately, but every single one new for my NT
List!). With luck I'll get around to putting in a brief trip report, but
for now I'll just say that it highlighted an interesting observation:

Out of my 547 Australian species, there are only five that I have seen
in each of the states/territories (ie ACT, NSW, QLD, VIC, TAS, SA, WA
and NT).

Anyone care to guess which five species they might be?

(Should note that I've covered ACT, NSW, QLD, and VIC fairly well, have
visited SE part of SA and SW of WA a few times, have been to Burnie
(TAS) and hinterland briefly, and of course my 24 hours in Alice is my
total experience of NT so far.)
