Koala signage (litter on a stick) erected and then vandalised by motorists. Bellingen/ Gleniffer

Had a déjà vu feeling here regarding the local Gleniffer Road widening and the Coffs Harbour Bypass Highway.

The“great koala national park”
Environment groups have long called for the #koala park, which would link 140,000 hectares of existing national parks with 170,000 hectares of state forest. The New South Wales Labor party (#promises) will establish a new national park stretching from #Kempsey to #Coffs Harbour in a bid to save the state’s #endangered koala population.
