The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) in South East Queensland is under increasing pressure from urban encroachment. The marsupial needs connected corridors to move, forage and breed, and its long-term survival requires protection at a landscape level.
Koala Crossing is situated at the base of Flinders Peak, an hour south of Brisbane and just five kilometres east from the township of Peak Crossing. The 652-hectare property forms part of the Flinders-Karawatha Corridor, the largest remaining contiguous stretch of open eucalypt forest in the region.
Through our ownership and management of Koala Crossing, we are playing a vital role in protecting and enhancing critical koala habitat, and advancing our knowledge, understanding and ability to care for this iconic Australian animal.
Koala crossing is made up of eight lots, four acquired by QTFN in 2014 and the other half in 2015. Currently, four are protected as individual nature refuges with the remaining four targeted for nature refuge status.
