Drone locates 20 koalas in forest due to be logged next year
"A thermal drone imaging survey has been conducted over a plantation within the Great Koala National Park footprint. 20 koalas were detected over two nights at Tuckers Nob State Forest, which is due to be logged in the New Year."
The so called 'plantations' are more like native forests. Tuckers Nob forest must be included in the great koala national park. Video>>

The impacts of the road 'renewal' projects in the Bellingen/ Gleniffer area
The stated rational given for the $5.3 Million 'Road Renewal Program' was to boost tourism and businesses of the Promised Lands and the Never Never River. The clearing of vegetation and lining the soil with bitumen and cement incidentally also eased access for the government logging corporation' access. (Tuckers Nob State Forests).
The year long road construction alone caused air pollution, noise, erosion, habitat loss, and greenhouse gas emissions.
The long term effects for wildlife and residents have been the loss of a livable habitat: Intensification of traffic on Gleniffer Rd. and Roses Rd. Speeding, night time noise from traffic. More garbage in the 'gutter'.
Many fossil fuel enthusiasts are going for their ritualistic 'Sunday drive' on The Loop Drive to the Promised Land. Hoards of wanna be 'bikies' are now attracted to cruise the loop with their souped up machines. No, 'bikie gangs' are the others, here we have the fat grey nomads that finally can afford the 'Easy Rider' Harley-thingy-toy.
The area is also a niche for many local motorbike riders that are exceeding the 94 decibels limit. People actually move to the countryside to enjoy the freedom of lawlessness in under-policed areas.
