Koala carnage in Brisbane's 'triangle of death'

The number of koalas hospitalised at the RSPCA's Brisbane headquarters has almost doubled in a year to a record 690, with many hit by cars or attacked by dogs in a small area dubbed "the triangle of death".
The zone — from the eastern Brisbane suburb of Cannon Hill, south to Mount Gravatt and east to Carindale — is ground zero for the city's rapidly dwindling koala population.
The threatened species are cornered in islands of bushland surrounded by urban development and having frequent run ins with cars and dogs.
Ninety-six koalas, or 15 per cent, of hospital intakes came from the area in the year to July, up from 54 the year before.
