I think it is difficult to draw such a conclusion from
the information offered so far.
For my part, I have seen or heard small numbers, up to 5,
throughout recent months. Typically they are still around, or commuting
between, mature pines, at places as widespread as the Cuppacumbalong
homestead, Fyshwick, and the assembly point for last week's LBG bike
ride. 2 weeks ago I found 3 in the Black Wattles in a nearby
reserve, presumably seeking grubs. I would be surprised if they
were ever completely absent from Kowen Forest, but David and Kathy or other
sentinels on our eastern frontiers might be able to
say.
