What happened to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane - Were they flooded?
Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is positioned on a flood prone area of Fig Tree Pocket, one of the worst affected suburbs. Fortunately, the sanctuary has some high points, so many areas of Lone Pine survived the flood. Whilst there was initially no news available about Lone Pine, its website (see related link) was operating again from 16 January, and photographs indicated there had been some flood damage. In the end, about 120 koalas had to be moved to higher ground, along with many other native animals. Apparently, not a single animal was lost, but there was extensive damage to the animal enclosures.
