Adopt a Quoll
In Seniors Week (15-23 August 2009) we reminded older travellers on fishing trips that the funnel trap and ‘opera house’ trap used to catch yabbies can be responsible for platypus drownings. What’s more, those traps are illegal in most southern states so leave the yabby trap at home for lots of good reasons.
The Moggill Creek Catchment Group’s Annual Platypus Survey is on Sunday 13 September. How many will they see this year? MCCG (that’s their logo on the right) needs volunteers for this great community contribution. 
Wildlife Queensland has congratulated the Environment Minister Kate Jones and the Queensland Government on their decision to halt the environmentally damaging Rainbow Shores Stage Two development at Inskip Point. We say that the proposal would not have progressed at all if the government’s existing Coastal Management Plan had been put into practice.
The northern quoll is renowned as the most aggressive of Australia’s 4 quoll species – check if there’s one living in your lounge room couch!
