Today we formalised our koala sightings for last 12 months.
The total was 6 untagged koalas over a range of 5 sq km.
The most permanent koala we named K1 and observed over a
period of 7.5 months, appearing a total of 80 days. Following tracks in the fire trails we could see K1 used the
cliffs to the east and the trails to move around. One day K1 was even hanging from
a branch with one arm like a monkey.
The easiest way to find a koala is by seeing scats
(droppings) or scratch marks around the base of trees the looking up into the
tree branches. Sometimes if you are on the cliffs and looking out level with
the branches you can see a koala nestled in the crook of a tree having a sleep.
Otherwise its lots of craning your neck skywards to spot the elusive sleeping
koala.
Sightings have been sent off to Lynn who maintains the
database for sightings in the Campbelltown area.
