Corella’s Dropping Dead In The Tom Price Area

By seashore, on February 11th, 2016

I just had call from the ABC in Karratha asking me if I knew anything about a large number (unknown how large) of Corella’s dropping dead in the Tom Price Area. I haven’t been in the Pilbara this summer but I would be interested to hear if anyone knows anything about it.

  Possibly lack of water..Karratha hasn’t had good rains in months despite the passing of cyclone..Hubby said flying in the rivers and catchments are bone dry..These rivers wind towards Tom Price so havn’t had the run off..
