State of the art tech being developed and tested in Lithgow's own backyard

The distinctive call of male koalas looking for a mate has been programmed into sensors that are speeding up research into where the threatened animals live.

We have been lucky enough to recieve a grant, to aid in developing technology so that we can better survey for koalas, from the NSW Government's Small Business Innovation and Research (SBIR) program.

We have have been working with Western Syd Uni (UWS) and NSW Smart Sensing Network (NSSN), with assistance from DPI and DPE to develope a device which can be left in the field and can detect and record koala calls.
