Join this amazing wildlife research project and live and work in a unique environment in central Queensland while you contribute towards vital research on these beautiful creatures. Very little research about nocturnal koala behaviors exist at present, so this is a great opportunity to monitor first-hand these amazing creatures at night. In addition to conducting surveys both during the day and night, you will learn about the unique plant communities that exist in the 22,000-acre site, and will be involved in extensive sampling techniques. Side trips include a visit to the beautiful Whitsunday Islands and tour of the Eungella National Park. This really is an ideal trip for any conservation enthusiasts with Aussie adventure in mind! *How this program makes a difference* This GVI project focuses its research on the diurnal as well as the nocturnal behavior of koala’s, of which little is known. Volunteers play a large role in collecting important data, such as local climatic characteristics, tree selection and diet. This will help our understanding of koala behaviors, their feeding habits and their habitat use.
