The detailed history of Koalas in the Shire of Eurobodalla is extremely deficient. there was clearly a resident Koala population in the Shire when Europeans settled the South Coast of NSW in the 1800s. It has been reported that there was growth in the koala population in the Shire until around the mid-1850s, attributed to the European impact on Aboriginal activities and dingo numbers.
