[5] Charles Sturt University purchased land at Thurgoona in 1993 from the Albury-Wodonga Development Corporation to the value of $6 million.
Thurgoona is known for a relatively large network of Box Gum Grassy Woodlands that used to cover most of the New South Wales Southern Slopes.
These include Sloane’s Froglet, Regent Honeyeater, and the Squirrel Glider (Petaurus norfolcensis).
Squirrel Gliders are listed as threatened in NSW and Thurgoona is home to a significant population of the arboreal (tree-dwelling) mammal.
