Looking for Spotted-tailed Quoll scat

Alberto Vale, from the Australian Quoll Conservancy (www.quolls.org.au) is looking for help in determining if the Spotted-tailed Quoll, which was once fairly common in Paluma, is still in the area. Sadly, quolls were hunted as pests by the original settlers.

For the past 9 months, the Australian Quoll Conservancy has been  surveying the Paluma area in search of Spotted-tailed Quolls, presumed extinct in the area since the 1930’s however confirmed sighting reports have floated in the 60’s as well in 1984.

While direct sightings of the animal would be most exciting, a more likely observation (if they are here) would be scat (Quoll poo) on the walking tracks or on top of adjacent rocks and bolders around the Dam or even near the village. If you see anything resembling the images below please take a picture as close-up as possible (or even collect a specimen) and contact Alberto on 0412 632 328 or aqc@quolls.org.au

Feedback requested on future night-time closure of Bruce Highway

Do you use the Bruce Highway through Yabulu (north of Townsville) at night?

The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) is seeking feedback from people who regularly travel the Bruce Highway through Yabulu at night, about upcoming temporary highway closures.

The feedback will be used to inform when these closures occur, so as to have the least impact on motorists. We will provide two weeks notice once the closure dates have been determined, so that road users can plan their journeys accordingly.

Further information about the closures and how you can have your say, is outlined in the attached flyer.

We encourage you to circulate this notice to others who regularly travel this section of the highway at night.

Feedback should be directed to TMR’s Customer and Stakeholder Management team by telephone on 1800 625 648, or by email at engagement.northern@tmr.qld.gov.au no later than close of business Friday 3 August 2018. Thank you for your assistance.
