Date Time First ever survey shows Koalas in far west region of Coast In response to an increased number of Koala sightings being reported to us, we completed the first ever survey for Koalas across the Coast with Koalas detected in the Mangrove Creek Dam catchment and Watagan Mountains. Phone and postal surveys were used to help record any community Koala sightings and in Spring, song meters were deployed in 58 potential Koala habitat locations to record the bellows of male Koalas during the breeding season. Koalas were recorded at nine sites in the far west of the region. These included six sites in the Mangrove Creek Dam catchment and three sites in the Watagan Mountains.
