Koala Woman Says
Koala populations in this electorate are found around Armidaleand Inverell and they might be stable, but a long-studied population at Nowendoc west of Taree was recently affected by bushfires. There are very few Koalas east of the New England Highway, this area was extensively burnt in 2002-2003, and again in the summer of 2019 – 2020, so any recovery has been wiped out.
