5.4 Memorial Park<br />

Mammals:<br />

The only native mammals found were Brush-tailed Possums <strong>and</strong> bats (Table 26). The<br />

disturbance to the bushl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> the isolation <strong>of</strong> Memorial Park from other bushl<strong>and</strong><br />

areas has prevented recolonisation <strong>of</strong> the site by native animals from elsewhere.<br />
