Pygmy BTS are around Adelaide.

But blotchies live in Tasmania as well as on the mainland, so you can't get much further south than that.

Unless they've found some in the Australian Antarctic Territory. :hehe:

Heh, but it's funny that a lot of Blotched have the half-blue tongue like the Indos!

I seem to remember talk of there being a lot of Alpines closer to the coast between WA and Adelaide... I could be totally off. :noknow:
