This is sandstone country with poorer habitat, typical of National Parks everywhere.

“…I have been proud to be part of a Federal Labor Government that has taken action by listing Koalas as a vulnerable species under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act in order to ensure the protection and recovery of Australia’s Koala populations. Thank you for bringing your concerns to my attention.”
