Koala breeding season is here, and koalas are on the move. 🐨

As the weather warms up across Queensland, koalas are travelling to find mates, establish new territory, and young koalas are setting out on their own.

Because koalas are most active between dusk and dawn, you may spot them crossing roads, moving through neighbourhoods, or exploring backyards.

You can help keep Queensland's endangered koalas safe this breeding season by:

🚗 Slowing down and staying alert on roads, especially at night and in signed koala areas.
🐕 Keeping dogs safely contained at night and keeping them on a leash in areas with koalas.
🩺 Reporting sick, injured or orphaned animals to wildlife rescue organisations as soon as possible. If you see a sick or injured koala, call 1300 ANIMAL (1300 264 625).

Every Queenslander can play a part in protecting one of our most iconic species. Small actions can make a big difference during their journey. 💚

One of Australia’s only mammals to safely enjoy a meal of the highly toxic cane toad.

Australia’s very own version of the otter, the rakali or water rat has a list of unique adaptions that make this native rodent more at home in the water than on land.

‘When greater Gondwana was forming between 750 and 550 million years ago, Himalayan-sized mountain ranges criss-crossed the supercontinent. Gondwana was an entirely frozen, arid landmass.’

The discovery of Gondwana’s buried bits helps settle the question of whether it was a supercontinent.

‘ … recovery isn’t just about how much vegetation is there. It’s about whether the layers of shrubs and canopy trees that make up a functioning plant community have returned to their previous state.’
