One of the outcomes we had hoped to achieve through the activities of Protecting Quolls in Queensland Landscapes during 2009 was to increase community knowledge of quolls and engage people in the project. There is no doubt we succeeded in more ways than one:

• 5 quoll discovery days – with 210 people attending
• 49 quoll-proof poultry pen applications – with 23 successful applicants
• 16 schools visited - with 1159 students attending
• 46000 hours of camera surveillance
• 45 new quoll records
• 218 new QSN members
• 35 radio, television and newspaper appearances (that we know of)
• 9 website updates
• 4 Quoll Seekers Network newsletters
• 1000 Quoll Info kits produced – distribution continues through online sales
• 5000 Mary River quoll brochures distributed.

The final report under the Caring for our Country project 'Protecting Quolls in Queensland Landscapes' 2009 was submitted to the Australian Government by Wildlife Queensland.

We had hoped to find quolls in the Mary River Headwaters – to find out if we did, read the executive summary from 'Quolls (Dasyurus maculatus and D. hallucatus) in the southern Mary River catchment, south-east Queensland' by Scott Burnett and Alina Zwar.
