That has got to be fantastic news
I love to observe our Quolls down here in Tassie even the one that was a PITA at Wadleys Hut

Hope it takes. Wonder how the ones in the Flinders Ranges are doing.

I hope it works, BUT.... it may be an expensive way to feed the actual 'top predator' of the area! This park has the highest population density of mammal eating diamond pythons known, indeed 12 have been observed in one night at one popular campsite (no doubt preying on the bush rats, bandicoots and possums habitualised to humans and their scraps).

Quoll numbers have drastically reduced in areas I visit (suspect cats), it may not be long before they need to be re-introduced to their current domain.

Doing reasonably well, according to several reports. That mob are Western Quolls.
For example:
