More common edit
We live in an area where they are found & after 30 years of farming here I would judge them to be considerably more numerous. (comment by 203.220.40.155)
Article needs a picture edit
Awwww! c'mon, someone post a picture please!!!! JAUN LOVE to SEE PICTURE
How many species? edit
The earthworm article states that there is only some 300 species of native earthworms in Australia.
ANSWER: About 650 natives are currently described from Austalia (inc. Tassie) with about 75 introduced exotics; if more interest were shown (with funding) then this would undoubtedly double in short order and could be expected to finally yield >2,000 natives - considering the land area and lack of comprehensive survey for most of it.
Can they really be heard moving? edit
"They can sometimes be heard in their habitat making gurgling sounds as they move underground." The article says I'm having a hard time believing that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.34.36.30 (talk) 13:58, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
i've got a source for the whole "gurgling" thing, it's a youtube video of an attenborough documentary but i'm not sure if that's a valid citation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uO4lkv-jLRs — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.168.104.246 (talk) 07:37, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Improved the article by adding pictures edit
I have improved the article by adding some pictures of the Giant Gippsland earthworm. here is the link to my sandbox of the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Katrina99/sandbox I chose some pictures of the Giant Gippsland earthworm, which are match the article describing, on the internetI. And then I uploaded the images to the “Upload Wizard” in the Wikimiedia Commons first, in order to ensure the images is legal to be uploaded in public. After this, I put the pictures on the end of each paragraph. Please give me some advise of the changing of the articles. I am willing to take the advises and make my work better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Katrina99 (talk • contribs) 18:27, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
