kookaburras live in all climatic conditions in Australia except the desert
from cold in Tasmania to the wamth of tropical Queensland and northern territory
It should be noted that kookaburras are native to Australia, New Guinea and the Aru Islands, in southeastern Indonesia, and they have also been introduced successfully into New Zealand. This indicates the wide range of temperatures they can endure. There is even an alpine kookaburra which lives in the Snowy Mountains.
The blue-winged kookaburra is only found in the northern third of Australia, including the Kimberley and semi-arid region of northwest Western Australia. Temperatures in these regions can exceed 35 degrees Celsius in summer.
The laughing kookaburra extends throughout the eastern states, and the far southwest. Temperatures in the mountainous and southern regions can regularly drop below 0 degrees Celsius in winter.
