Koala Woman Says

There are hardly any Koalas in this electorate which includes the Yass, Tumut, and Wagga Wagga areas, this is a puzzle, particularly as the State Forests around Tumut contain a few significant Koala food trees. Perhaps they never recovered from the fur trade, and any remaining Koalas would have been severely impacted by the 1939 “Black Friday” wildfires that burnt much of this country. And again in 2019-2020 when half the bush was burnt. With 13 records between 2015-2023, if Koalas in this electorate are not totally extinct, they are certainly functionally extinct.
