 The largest native Australian worm is the giant Gippsland earthworm.  It normally has a length of about 2 to 3 meters, (6.5 to 10 feet),  however the longest worm on record was 4 m, (13 feet), long.  Their skin is a pinkish-gray color and the head is a deep purple.  They live underground in red, gray or blue clay under banks of streams. They need water to live so they never really leave their moist underground maze.  If you stomp the ground above them you will be able to hear a gurgling sound coming from under you. 

A hen must eat about 4 pounds to produce 12 eggs.1
