Koala Woman Says
This is another electorate that was originally mainly grassland with Koala habitat mainly along the watercourses. One Koala was recorded in 2015 at Mount Cottrell, how it got there we don’t know, and you can bet it’s not there now. Koalas in Gorton are practically extinct. If we are correct about this, then imagine the life these poor lonely animals have on a daily basis.
