Koala Woman Says
Warrandyte used to be known as a place to see Koalas, but you’d be very lucky now. Three sightings in the Fourth Hill Reserve, and three in the Yarra Valley Parklands. That’s in the last four years, so these Koalas are feeling a bit lonely. They probably came from Warrandyte State Park to the east (Casey electorate) but there are no recent records from there. In 2019 AKF estimated there were 15 – 30 Koalas in this electorate, now we think it’s 5 – 10.
