Fossils have been found in all of the mainland states (therefore, not Tasmania), but not conclusively yet in the Northern Territory. Evidence of this giant marsupial has been found in the Darling Downs in Queensland; around the far-fling regions of Tocumwal, Bingara and Lake Menindee in New South Wales; the Eyre Peninsula and Naracoorte Caves in South Australia; and the Nullarbor Plain cave deposits of Western Australia.
