Koala Woman Says This is probably a hopeful assessment, and had our previous governments been more diligent, it could have been different. There have been no more than a dozen sightings in the last five years at Alderley, Ashgrove and Lutwyche; all of them are...

Koala Woman Says Koalas in this electorate are concentrated in the south from Mango Hill north to Burpengary and west towards Narangba. This is in the Moreton Bay Council area north of Brisbane, and it is one of the fastest developing areas in Australia. The Council...

Koala Woman Says Bundaberg is in this electorate. Further south there are a few Koalas around Hervey Bay and possibly some in Cordalba State Forest west of Childers, but that’s about it. The best coastal habitats have been cleared for sugar cane, and forested areas in...
