Spot-tailed Quoll spotted
In August, a rare Spot-tailed Quoll was sighted at Eagle Point near the Mitchell River Silt Jetties. They were thought extinct in the East Gippsland Red Gum plains areas and along the coast. Most of these endangered large marsupial carnivores are now identified in the upper Snowy River area and occasionally in the tall wet inland forests, but even these are becoming more rare despite increased efforts to find them.
