Gunnedah has one of the largest and healthiest inland populations of koalas in Australia.
Koalas are readily seen the urban area of Gunnedah. It is not uncommon to see koalas strolling the footpaths or crossing the street. In a recent survey, at least 40 koalas were living in the town!
The earliest record of koalas in the Gunnedah region comes from zoologist, John Gould in 1863.
Because of the abundant variety of favoured eucalypts and freedom from disease, Gunnedah’s koala population is increasing.
The most common eucalypts found in the Gunnedah area are white box (Eucalyptus albens), bimble box (E. populnea), Blakely’s red gum (E. blakelyi), tumbledown red gum (E. dealbata) and river red gum (E. camaldulensis).
At Waterways Wildlife Park you can have a very close encounter with koalas. If you are after some photos form the Gunnedah Koala Park please see the General Photos tab.
Internode
Recently I was a Soul /TPG customer , and I must say that I had nothing but trouble spending most of the time on the phone with this company talking about accounts and bills that they could not get right the first three times. After three months I was speaking to one of my friends at work and he was saying that he had signed up with Internode so I though what the heck ill give it a go.
Once I filled out the online form for churning from Soul to Internode which took about ten to fifteen minutes and they guaranteed me that it would take two to three days, I must say that so far to date which has been two and a half days and the service is now up and running. Also I must add we didn’t have internet access for about half of the last day which I must say has been bloody fantastic, apart from the half day without internet access the whole customer service has been fast and smooth, well done Internode keep up the good work.
