Abstract
Following the report of a photograph of an eastern quoll in 2013 from the Nungatta area, near Eden in southern New South Wales, we investigated whether the species may persist in the area. This involved reviewing existing wildlife records, speaking to landholders and ecologists who have recently surveyed the area, and performing a targeted survey totalling 1893 camera-nights across 59 sites in May–July 2019 in the general vicinity of the sighting. We were not able to independently verify the presence of a wild population as no additional record of an eastern quoll was obtained.

Australian Mammalogy is a major journal for the publication of research in all branches of mammalogy. The journal’s emphasis is on studies relating to Australasian mammals, both native and introduced, and includes marine mammals in the Antarctic region. Subject areas include, but are not limited to: anatomy, behaviour, developmental biology, ecology, evolution, genetics, molecular biology, parasites and diseases of mammals, physiology, reproductive biology, systematics and taxonomy.
Australian Mammalogy is for professional mammalogists, research scientists, resource managers, consulting ecologists, students and amateurs interested in any aspects of the biology and management of mammals.
Australian Mammalogy began publication in 1972 and is published on behalf of the Australian Mammal Society.
