| Notes: A number of snails were detected at Gordonvale, 19km south of Cairns in late April 1977. A low level infestation was present over a 16ha suburban area and in 1981, three years after the detection of the last snail the pest was declared eradicated. Also on Christmas Islands, Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island. | |||
