This morning, I decided to head out in search of wild koalas, since my neighbour had given me a hot tip for some at Lawnton. My first stop though, was at Bullocky Rest, as there were recent sightings. I wandered up and down the peninsula looking at trees, not spotting any, until I stopped to check my phone at the base of a tree, then noticed there was fresh scat on the ground, looked up, and there was one with joey. I found four more at Lawnton. #koala #AustralianWildlife #WildOz

It is comforting to know that the #Rich can’t do everything they want and that they will be held accountable. What is less clear is the ecological damage (vegetation and wildlife) that was done by the ?illegal? clearfelling of the land parcel. Even if the developer was to abide by the legally binding order to replant natives, it will take years to return to its original state. Unanswered are questions regarding the dubious ?shell? company which recently bought the land. Truly, #RealtyDevelopers can be some of the most #Greedy and #Unprincipled people who have little to no respect for laws and regulations — such as they are. There is also, of course, the lack of political will to save and conserve #Koala colonies and their habitat in #NSW. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-06/developer-quietly-sells-illegally-cleared-barden-ridge-site/106878518 #AusPol #NSW #Conservation

NJ's #drawing of a #koala, which she completed while I read three chapters of "Eragon" to her. We had to look up the shape of the nose, and she wanted the koala clinging to a giant sock of bamboo, so she needed a reference picture to get the joints the right shade. Her drawing is amazing. I might have just managed to draw a cartoon mouse by her age (9). I still find animals difficult. But I live seeing her grow in her abilities like this.
