Raymond Island Reserve

In 1953, 42 koalas were relocated from Philip Island and introduced to the 80 ha of Coastal Manna Gum woodland on Raymond Island. 2004 saw a population of over 500 koalas existing on the Island in a situation where a combination of over population and over grazing was threatening the health and sustainability of the koala population as well as the woodlands. A translocation programme  reduced numbers to maintain a viable yet visible population.
