Happy World Wombat Day..

21/10/2026

Good evening, everyone.
Sorry for the very lack of updates, I'll fill you in with a few things..
As you know, I had surgery on my wrist, well .. because I can't behave myself and not use it, I've had to move on a fair few of our babies.. Drs orders.. I really don't want more surgery.

So.. 4 Baby magpies & 4 Brushtail Possum joey's were taking up to Beechworth.
Ellie-Mae, our gorgeous Wallaby joey, Vienna, Winnie, Yuki & Zee Kangaroo joeys have gone to their forever home near Yea.

We currently have Robbie & Usher still with us as they still need rehab. Robbie is really starting to get this hopping happening (2 breaks I his leg), and Usher, who had the brain bleed, is just zooming ahead.

I decided to keep the boys together as buddies plus Usher encourages Robbie to explore and develop his muscles.

We also have 2 Galahs plus 1 baby Galah, a fledgling magpie that is soooo noisy, a Blue Tongue Lizard dog attack.

We've had some very sad cases. A Pinky Koala and Wallaby that were just too small for this world.
A magpie with what looks like Magpie pox, a King Parrot who had been picked on by other birds, possums that had been attacked by cats or dogs, New Holland Honeyeater with unknown injuries and other critters that unfortunately had to be humanely euthanised or have passed away from their injuries.

We have released back to their territory..4 Kookaburras, 2 Turtles, Kingfisher, Pigeon, Ringtail Possum, SugarGlider

Being a Wildlife Rescuer, Carer and rehabilitater is not for everyone, it can get quite emotional but at the end of the day you have to remind yourself that you've done the best you can to help our beautiful Australian Wildlife.

Interesting morning...
Barb rings at 8:30am saying "We have a problem!!"
There's a Wombat in a doorway at "Sussans " clothing store in Murphy Street Wangaratta..
"A WHAT??"..HOW??
I arrived just before opening to find a store table on its side which is where the Wombat was.. I panicked thinking where us he?
Rosie from Sussans opened the door and said she let him into the shop as he was getting scared of all the noise and movement.
He made his way into the change rooms, Rosie turned all the lights off so he felt safer.
Barb arrived and the challenge began.
This Wombat was huge, no injuries, just lost and not very happy.
A few grunts and kicks and some awkward angles by us to try and get him into a crate.. did I mention he was huge... Rosie went next door for an apple as an enticement, he was trying to dig and bite through the plaster.
Barb managed to get the ketch pole onto him which helped guide him. Once in the crate..
Rosie brought over a clothing rack on wheels, to use as a trolley to get him out to the car.
It was certainly a team effort.
He has now been relocated to a much safer bushland area.
Thanks Rosie and Barb for the laughs 😃
