Find out more about the recent exciting discovery of a brush-tailed phascogale in the Eurobodalla. In 2018, Eurobodalla Shire Council helped to develop a phascogale citizen science project using nestboxes and cameras. In November 2023, a phascogale appeared on camera.

For the first time in about as many years, three koalas have just been spotted in their natural habitat in the Eurobodalla Shire. Two were found in Kooraban National Park, in the Dignams Creek area, where it straddles the Eurobodalla and Bega shire border, with the third found in the Bodalla State Forest, not far from the new Eurobodalla dam. All three were found by drones which were funded for the project through a Commonwealth Government grant.
For Keith Joliffe, delegate for the Coastwatchers Association which started the Eurobodalla Koala Project, the discovery of the three koalas was “a very exciting find”.
