Port Macquarie's Koala Hospital

One of Port Macquarie's most deservedly popular tourist attractions is the Koala Hospital.

It's quite the place to see koalas, to learn about them, and to give serious thought to our impact on them.

This part of the world is prime koala habitat. But in the Port Macquarie area especially, that habitat is being destroyed at a shocking pace.

The hospital's official line seems to dwell mostly on dog attacks and motor vehicle accidents, but the biggest problem of course is inappropriate and inadequately regulated development, leaving the poor things with nowhere to live.

I notice that in real life the staff are well aware of this, and doing sterling work on the activist front too! Here's an article from the local  newspaper: http://www.portnews.com.au/story/4599216/concerns-over-koala-habitat/
