Watch out for koalas
The mercury may be falling but things are hotting up for our koalas with an early start to the breeding season this year. Not only are the adults on the move, but last year’s young are heading off to find their own space. Keep an eye out for koalas in unexpected places, especially when driving.
Whale survey in progress
Scientists from the University of Queensland are currently on North Stradbroke Island as part of a long-running research project to monitor humpback whale migration. Based at Point Lookout, an internationally recognised site for observing the migration of humpback whales, this year’s survey will run for eight weeks during June and July, which is the peak period for the northward migration of whales to the tropical waters of the Great Barrier Reef where they breed.
One of the two Council viewing platforms at Frenchman’s Beach Foreshore Reserve, off Timbin Road at Point Lookout, will be closed to the public until 9 August for the project. Follow the whales on Facebook. Go to www.facebook.com/straddiehumpbacks
