Just curious if anyone has ever seen a koala or any other animal crossing one of those overhead animal crossings on the highway?

^^^ shame they haven't.

Koala cutlets are quite nice, hard to find one to shoot at nowadays.

Better rush out and shoot one before they're all gone.

I have not seen one cross using one of those overhead crossings but on the other hand I have not seen a dead koala on a highway or road, ever. Seen plenty of roos and wombats dead on the side of the road.

Seen plenty (and heard) of possums doing power lines

My wish is for a Weight watchers 4 possums - the fat Duck jumping on to my roof (it is part of the mating circuit!!) has been the cause of many a sleepless night - my thoughts (and electrifying (as in WOW!!) schemes to stop this) are not for public consumption.

Cheers

Haven't seen koalas using them. Have seen a few possums using them though (on the Atherton Tablelands).

I think they have trouble reading the signs that are supposed to direct them to the entrance.

Wombats are ace.

What do you mean "reintroduced"? If they ever were native to WA it was eons ago.

Motion activated cameras show that "the rope bridges and glider poles have become popular, with squirrel gliders crossing more than 2000 times"

As our mammal fauna are nocturnal, it's unlikely that you would notice crossings unless you were out spotlighting.

So now we know where to go to find something to shoot at night?
