Koala Woman Says
This electorate lies between the Adelaide Hills and the city and Koalas are mostly seen in the suburbs bordering the Hills for example Waterfall Gully, Rosslyn Park and Highbury. The Princes Highway goes through Waterfall Gully, so there are lots of vehicle strikes in that area. Koalas are also seen in other suburbs along the Torrens River where additional threats such as dog attack and occur. There have been 47 recorded sightings along the River so far in 2024 by citizen scientists, but how many of these were the same Koala? We don’t know. The same applies to the 30 sightings at the bottom of the Adelaide Hills.
