Koala Woman Says AKF has very little information about this electorate historically. Some good habitat remains around Dingley but it is too small and too fragmented for any Koalas to use. None have been reported since the 1960s.Member for HothamMs Clare O’Neil MP...

From the Desk of the AKF
Where did last year go? We probably need to apologise for the lack of good communication. All we can say is that we have just been flat out with the Senate Inquiry and with huge changes here at AKF. When we last wrote, we did so with some degree of...

An Update from the Office
A lot’s been happening at the AKF office lately. We have said good-bye to Jane Mathers, who served the Foundation for over 17 years and welcomed new people. Yes! The AKF has had a make-over. It has a new face and a new team, even so the spirit remains the same. Before...

Higgins
Koala Woman Says This is 'urban central' now, but it is fascinating to think that this whole area was forested at one time and maybe koalas were abundant. Any habitat was gone by the mid 1920s, and there are no Koala records for this electorate.Member for HigginsDr...

Gippsland
Koala Woman Says This is a small number of koalas given the size of the electorate but most of the better low-land habitat has been cleared for agriculture. It is also the largest wood and pulp production area in Victoria. Because the koala is not listed under Federal...
