How often do we think about kangaroos? Every. Single. Day. 🦘💚

Happy World Kangaroo Day!

Here at Lone Pine, we’re lucky enough to be home to both eastern grey and red kangaroos, and hand feeding these iconic Aussie animals is one of our visitors’ favourite experiences! 🥰

Did you know? Red kangaroos are the largest living marsupials in the world! And despite their name, females are often blue-grey rather than red!

Come meet them for yourself! Our Roo Reserve is open daily from 9am–4:30pm.

Happy World Wombat Day! 🐾💚

All we need is a few nose boops from Rosie and Gracey! 🥰

Rosie is our bare-nosed (common) wombat and Gracey is our southern hairy-nosed wombat. They're two of Australia's three wombat species, and their noses certainly live up to their names!

Today we're celebrating these wonderful Aussie marsupials and reminding everyone to look out for them in the wild. If you're driving through areas where wombats live, remember to slow down and keep an eye out, especially around dusk and dawn.

Want to meet these two? You can visit Rosie and Gracey in our nocturnal section daily at Lone Pine!

Bella’s been out and about! 🐾💚

Our Bare-nosed (also known as Common) Wombat Bella recently headed off on an adventure around Lone Pine, stopping to take in all the sights and smells and check out a few curious neighbours along the way. 👀

These walks are a form of enrichment, giving Bella opportunities to explore areas outside her usual exhibit, get some exercise and use natural behaviours like sniffing, grazing and investigating different surroundings.

And, of course, no tour of Lone Pine is complete without checking in with the team along the way. 🥰

Keep an eye out on your next visit you might just spot Bella on her next adventure!

SPARROW IS STILL MISSING — PLEASE KEEP AN EYE OUT 🧡

We’re continuing to search for Sparrow, our Nankeen kestrel who flew off during a training session at Lone Pine in late September.

Most of our recent possible sightings have been around Kenmore and Chapel Hill, so we’re asking people in these areas to keep an especially close eye and ear out.

Sparrow may have travelled further though, so we still want to hear about possible sightings anywhere across Brisbane and surrounding suburbs.

The battery in Sparrow’s tracker has now run out, so community sightings are more important than ever.

Watch these videos to help identify Sparrow! We’ve included clips showing:
* what Sparrow looks like up close
* what she looks like in free flight
* the falconry anklets and jesses attached to her legs
* Sparrow’s call, so you know what to listen for

If you think you’ve spotted Sparrow please don’t approach or attempt to catch her.

Instead, note the exact location and time, take a photo or video if possible, and contact our team directly:
📞 9am–5pm: (07) 3378 1366
📱 Outside office hours / text: 0437 876 759

Please don’t rely on comments or social media messages to report a sighting, as these may not be seen straight away.

A huge thank you to everyone who has kept looking, sharing and sending through possible sightings. We just want to get Sparrow home safely.

Please share this post, especially with people in Kenmore, Chapel Hill and surrounding suburbs and if you repost it elsewhere, please include our contact numbers too. Thank you 💚

Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is diagnosed when children fail to acquire their own language for no obvious reason. This results in children who have difficulty understanding what people say to them, and struggle to articulate their ideas and feelings.

Did you know that Developmental Language Disorder affects 1 in 14 students? That means in an average classroom, two children are navigating school while struggling to understand and use language.

Though DLD has been around for hundreds of years, it was historically called specific language impairment, language delay, or childhood aphasia. Today, using the consistent name Developmental Language Disorder is crucial for bringing visibility to this common yet hidden disability.

Help us shine a spotlight on DLD! Join Mancel College at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary on Friday 16th October from 9am to 12pm for a fun-filled day of awareness. 🐨

What to expect:

• Discounted entry with tickets starting from just $20

• Up-close encounters with iconic Australian wildlife

• Face painting, interactive photo booths, and fun giveaways

• Resources and insights to help you learn more about DLD

Every ticket purchased helps raise awareness and supports our school community.

You don’t need wildlife experience to work with wildlife. 🐨

We’re looking for a veterinarian to join our onsite veterinary team at Lone Pine. If you are passionate about the opportunity to work with Australian wildlife, have a strong ability to problem solve, think outside the box and adapt your knowledge, then working with us might be the role you are looking for.

Your experience could be in general or mixed practice, or another area of veterinary medicine, we’d love to hear from you. You’ll work alongside our highly experienced team caring for a diverse range of Australian wildlife, including koalas, kangaroos, wombats, reptiles, birds, with some livestock thrown in for good measure.

Wildlife experience is welcomed, but it isn’t essential. What matters most is a genuine interest and commitment to animal welfare, adaptability, working well within an experienced team, and being able to have a multilayered approach to cases which is often required in a zoo setting.

The role is available full-time or part-time, ideally four days per week.

Think this could be your next move? 🐾
