Koala Count (Annual) The Narrandera community has taken the Reserve and its inhabitants to heart. Locals and visitors alike lend their eyes to the annual Koala Count. Supervised by the National Parks and Wildlife Service, the count involves groups of spotters spreading quietly throughout the reserve.
Once sighted a Koala's location is marked with a ribbon and sightings tallied at the end of the day. Volunteers are invited to join NSW Parks & Wildlife Officers to search for and count koalas in the Narrandera Koala Regeneration Reserve & surrounds. Contact: John Sullivan Ph (02) 6959 1795
