The creeping extinction of koalas
A vigil will "mourn the death of a koala found injured during clear-fell operations in Pine Creek State Forest in July. Forestry Corporation confirmed the animal was found on 21 July within an active harvesting area."
"...We are still losing koalas to logging in the very compartments that should form the bridge.”
"Mr Elzer, a long-time Coffs Coast resident, said he has witnessed the extinction of all northern beaches koalas, which, decades ago, formed a healthy large colony. He fears that the remaining few in the heart of the city around the Coffs Creek bushland and east of the Sawtell link road will suffer the same fate in years to come."
“Without connectivity to the lush hinterland connecting Bongil Bongil National Park to Bindarri National Park, this small re-emerging colony will also become extinct,” he said." >>

Motorised bikes
First they put e-bikes on the market, then it is a long wait for regulation of illegal high-powered 'motorbikes' on shared pathways and beaches.There has been "...alleged antisocial and criminal behaviour involving a group of youths riding e-bikes in the Moonee and North Sapphire Beach areas."
"The claims echo concerns being raised in communities right across the state. For many locals, the issue isn’t just legality. It’s safety on shared pathways residents once felt confident using every day." >>

The middle of the #Sawtell main street is lined with old trees. Native #birds quell the sound of #traffic. Car-centric #mobility is pressuring to perceive the overhanging branches and garden plants as obstacles. The system is striving to convert it into a straight bland 'highway' - like all the other (boring) Aussie towns.

Sawtell #beautification
When the oversized 'Toorak tractors' park on the #Sawtell main drag, they grab all the space on the footpath. No plants or plastic infrastructure is tolerated, separating SUVs and #pedestrians. All is squashed and butchered. Now finally it seems some official agent removed the last remnants of #plants and planter spaces so that the 'all terrain #vehicles can conquer the #footpath entirely where the (polluted) 'al fresco' takes place.

Dim-witted fishing on Sawtell beach leads to entanglement of native bird
A small strip of coastal bush separates the beach from suburbia. Various wildlife still exists there. The Australian brush turkey (Alectura lathami) and wallabies try to survive in this small patch. Roaming dogs are allowed to chase the shorebirds and marsupials. At the main entry to the beach the native vegetation is eliminated to make way for more commerce and exotic weeds.

Whales going north
From Bonville Headland it appeared like a Humpback whale blowing. A boat was speeding towards it to get a good view. The whale disappeared. The Themeda Grasslands and Headland Paper Daisies (Xerochrysum bracteatum) are trampled and driven on. Pandanus blocking the 'view' from the car park are vandalised. More fishermen than White-bellied Sea-Eagles.

Lifeless rock pools at Sawtell
After cyclone Alfred whipped up a 'bacteria smoothy' along Australia's east coast the sea foam then merged with a 'flush' from the suburbs. Dislodged smelly sponges at Sawtell beach made breathing and contact impossible. Even without fossil fueled disasters the intertidal zone at the north end of the beach is barren. The rock pools and crevices no longer house sea anemones, crabs, black nerites, limpets, sea stars, mulberry oyster borers, algae, sea anemones, sponges, tube worms, sea stars, oysters, and fish.
Still good enough for hosting 'sports' and advertising events amplified by megaphone so they can be heard at Lord Howe Island too.

Sea foam - You wouldn’t go swimming in sewage
"Research shows people should not go in the sea when it is foaming. These bacterial smoothies can contain more harmful pathogens than a sewage treatment plant – and you wouldn’t go swimming in sewage."
"If the water is polluted with floating fats and grease as well as asphaltene, motor oil and hydrocarbons, these spores soon form bacterial colonies or biofilms that go forth and multiply."
"Reducing stormwater pollution will reduce the growth of sea foams. As long as humanity continues to produce pollution, the problem will increase. It will also worsen as the world warms, because sea foams like it hot."

Replacing native birds with an invasive species of birds
"The Invasive Species Council has raised concern about the spread of the Indian myna in country Australia. When Indian mynas move into an area they force native birds out of their wood hollows and kill their chicks, leading to a decline in native bird numbers."
"People in rural areas are seeing them spread along the highways...They like well-manicured gardens, they like grass and lots of places they can sit. So planting native trees is something people can do to help our native birds out."
Any council actions in Bellingen and Sawtell?

Beach safety for humans in a more-than-human world
Have drones at the beach, repel birdsBeachgoers are warned with larges signs of a drone operating at Sawtell beach. The warning posters for the aerial operations states that they have the rationale to keep human beings safe. The unmanned aerial vehicle makes an irritating buzzing sound while flying over the heads of beachgoers.
The beauty of Sawtell beach is usually to share the ambience with shorebirds, birds of prey and little terns. With the loud gadget droning up and down the beach no bird or endangered shorebird was visible or audible. The scarecrow in the sky, the jet skis and car on the sand make sure the beach is just for one species alone.
Drones are disturbing critically endangered shorebirds in Moreton Bay, creating a domino effect
