Targeted survey for the eastern quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus) in the Nungatta and Yambulla areas of southern New South Wales

Following the report of a photograph of an eastern quoll in 2013 from the Nungatta area, near Eden in southern New South Wales, we investigated whether the species may persist in the area. This involved reviewing existing wildlife records, speaking to landholders and ecologists who have recently surveyed the area, and performing a targeted survey totalling 1893 camera-nights across 59 sites in May–July 2019 in the general vicinity of the sighting. We were not able to independently verify the presence of a wild population as no additional record of an eastern quoll was obtained.
