Come and see magnificent Eastern Grey kangaroos in a natural environment so close to urban Brisbane. You may be lucky and spot a koala! The 138 hectare so-called ‘Pooh Corner’ site in Wacol is an area of substantially intact, remnant vegetation which is classified as an endangered regional ecosystem. It is also home to the only large viable population of kangaroos in Brisbane. It was because of this endangered status that Friends of Pooh Corner successfully lobbied in 2005 for the Federal government to withdraw the former Defence site from advertised sale, and instead to transfer the site to Brisbane City Council for a conservation reserve for the sum of $1. Learn more about Pooh Corner with a flora and fauna walk led by local field naturalists and representatives of the various groups responsible for saving this precious site. This is the first ‘public’ event to be held at Pooh Corner. Your gold coin donation is appreciated. Proudly presented by Friends of Pooh Corner.
