Residents in the Brisbane suburb of Moorooka are celebrating the first koala to be spotted in a local park in 21 years.
Pegg’s Park has been transformed by a local tree planting group, who have planted hundreds of trees, to rejuvenate the site.
Councillor Steve Griffiths of the Moorooka ward congratulated the Moorooka Greening Group on the positive work they have done.
The healthy koala is believed to have been looking for leaves with more moisture in them, with its home in the Toohey Forest 1 kilometre away, dry at the moment.
