Australia's the land for worms! The Gippsland earthworm, for example, reaches 3 metres in length, making, European earthworms appear, by comparison, puny midgets. There's a striking diversity of Australian annelids, under the ground, under the sand and in the sea (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/mar/03/mysterious-and-vulnerable-the-secret-lives-of-australias-giant-worms). There's obviously much more to Australian fauna than kangaroos and koala bears!
