#extratonal special 5 - Multispecies Festival at @varia on Friday, 25 and Sunday, 27 April 2025.

On Friday evening, @oyo and I invite you to a live listening session at Gouwplein, where we’ll listen to bats and rodents. On Sunday, join us for a site-specific soundwalk through Oud-Charlois, tracing the "cracks" in the urban landscape.

Koala interactions, affection between young male koalas

"Three males engaging in unexpected “affiliative” behaviours. They were grooming each other, sniffing each other’s genitals and vocalising to each other in soft, high-pitched calls, similar to the sounds baby koalas make... High density means the home ranges of koalas are more likely to overlap and their interactions will be more frequent. It also means competition for food, space and mates can be especially high. " >>

"The species was almost hunted to extinction...They used to skin them alive and put them back up the tree with no fur." >>

"Before they develop the land they wipe out all the vegetation, and then people grow introduced plants. If the area is big enough they will wipe out everything...Introduced lawn grass and plants won’t allow them to come back, because it’s not the habitat it used to be. So urbanisation makes a big impact on not only crickets but everything.” >>

Male koalas are bellowing like clockwork on the shortest day of the year (winter solstice) every year ( 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) in the same spot in the Bellingen region. The usual breeding season for koalas is approximately August to February.

That means koalas are already on the move, crossing roads, clear-felled logging areas of Tuckers Nob State Forests and are forced to cross paths with fast cars and roaming dogs.
