'''Habitat:''' Australia; south western and eastern Australia and adjacent coastal islands. In the southwest the range encompasses an area between North West Cape, Cape Leeuwin and Eucla; while in the east it covers a large region bounded by the Atherton Tableland, the Eyre Peninsula and Tasmania, with the Murray Darling Basin supporting very large populations of Black Swans. It is uncommon in central and northern Australia. It was hunted to extinction in New Zealand, but was reintroduced in 1864 as an ornamental species. | '''Habitat:''' Australia; south western and eastern Australia and adjacent coastal islands.
