The Winter 2026 edition of The Gulf Croaker celebrates the people, wildlife and knowledge shaping a stronger, healthier Gulf. Explore efforts to protect the endangered northern quoll, innovative research into banana-spotting bug control, cultural burning and Indigenous leadership, drone technology guiding spring conservation, and ranger-led weed management reconnecting people with Country. We also uncover the Gulf’s remarkable reptile diversity, consider the relationship between biodiversity and productive grazing, and share stories from young writers growing up in the region.
Created by Gulf Savannah NRM Communications Officers Lydia Strohfeldt and Eden Manzur, this edition brings together stories of science, culture, collaboration and care for Country.
We hope you enjoy!
