This article details a previously undescribed species of Elsothera (Family Charopidae) which was discovered on a cattle grazing property north of Roma, and provides a new locality for the genus in Queensland. To date, this species has not been found away from the original collection locality.
A collection of the introduced land snail Cochlicella barbara is described from a locality near Roma in southern inland Queensland. This was the first known established population of this species in Queensland.
Twenty-six species of cowries (Family Cypraeidae) are listed for the Hervey Bay region of southeast Queensland. This is an update to the list of nine species originally published for the locality by Noel Gomersall in 1971.
This article provides an inventory of land snails and slugs occurring within a portion of the Conondale Range, southeast Queensland. Thirty-eight species are listed for the site, including several short-range endemic species confined to the rainforests between Brisbane and Gympie.
This paper, presented during the Queensland Murray-Darling Basin Condition and Trend Forum in 2000, provided information relating to the status and inventory of vertebrate fauna within the Maranoa-Balonne River catchment of southern inland Queensland, subsequent to the publication “Ranges to Rivers. An Overview of Natural Resources in the Maranoa-Balonne Catchment”.
This is a note on the decline of tree health as a result of damage by sulphur-crested cockatoos and common brushtail possums along the Condamine River in the Darling Downs region of southern Queensland. It was an expert contribution to the Australian Vertebrate Pest Control Conference in 1995.
This document is an atlas of the land snails occurring in the Wet Tropics area of northeast Queensland. It represents the first comprehensive account of the land snail fauna of the region and is based on collections held primarily within the Queensland Museum.
This report documents the land snail fauna of the karst limestone outcrops of the Kempsey region of northeast New South Wales, based on collections held primarily within the Queensland Museum.

This land snail survey discovered twelve species new to science. Seventeen patches of dry rainforest (semi-evergreen vine thicket) were surveyed in 1993 in the Lockyer Valley, situated between Toowoomba and Brisbane in southeast Queensland. Despite a heavily cleared and highly modified landscape, the Lockyer Valley possesses a rich land snail fauna, with 56 species recorded. Several of these species are short-range endemic species restricted to the remaining tiny dry rainforest remnants. Site species richness ranged from nine to 31 species.
