Sainiana M. Radrodro's business study with CQUniversity came at the midpoint of her astonishing journey from school dropout and teenage mum through to her current status as Principal Transport Planner for Fiji's Ministry of Works, Transport and Public Utilities.

After three years of mapping koala sightings, including responses to a ‘wanted dead or alive' SMS Hotline campaign, researchers have identified the CQ region's hotspots and coldspots.

One hotspot for sightings is the Bruce Highway in a corridor between Granite and Waverley Creeks near St Lawrence.

Koalas are in desperate trouble and are likely to be listed as threatened by the Commonwealth - but there are no 'one size fits all' solutions.

The threatening processes, ecology and knowledge of koalas are as patchy as the distribution of the species.

In the first study of its type, researchers will use ‘social networks analysis' to understand how stakeholders communicate and share information about water resources and flooding disasters in their region..

CQUniversity researchers have addressed a problem facing fish farming, which is crucial for averting hunger as the world population grows beyond seven billion people and there are pressures on sustainability of fish stocks in our seas.

Doctoral student Sadia Khan, Professor Rob Reed and Dr Mohammad Rasul have researched ways for fish farms to prevent bacterial infection, and their latest findings are published in BioMed Central's open access journal BMC Microbiology.

CQUniversity microbiology lecturer Dr Sandrine Makiela is keen for landholders to nominate to have microbes in their soils tested, in an effort to produce baseline data of micobial activity in Central Queensland soils.

Thanks to a new trial jointly funded by CQUniversity and consultants Grazing BestPrac (GBP), graziers may be able to get feedback on microbial activity in their soils without sending samples interstate.

The Gladstone Regional Art Gallery will soon host an exhibition entitled Australian Portraits 1880 - 1960: Paintings from the National Gallery of Australia Collection.

The National Gallery asked Gladstone Gallery to determine the strength of the hanging fixtures and chains to ensure that the paintings would be safe.

Event organisers, marketing consultants, industry reps and business people can all gain by hearing from former Queensland Events Corporation chief executive Michael Denton, who will present a seminar at CQUniversity Mackay Campus on March 1.

'The Business of Managing Successful Events' seminar will draw on Mr Denton's extensive experience securing major international events such as the Goodwill Games, Rugby World Cup, and Rotary International World Convention.

Dozens of teams have arrived for the Indigenous Reconciliation Carnival being held on the CQUniversity Rockhampton sports fields from January 27-29.
