25.01.2022 WARNING VIDEO CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGES This lovely short-eared rock wallaby was just minding her own business... Where was your tabby cat last night?

23.01.2022 WATER FOR WILDLIFE With a few days of hot weather our wildlife suffer. Luckily its really easy for you to help: - Leave shallow dishes of fresh water outside wi...th sticks/rocks placed inside so smaller creatures can get in and out. - If you come across a heat stressed or injured animal, please safely contain and take to your nearest vet. For more information or to raise an emergency request please visit our website or call on 03 8400 7300. - Keep your pets inside where it is cooler for them and they are less likely to come across vulnerable wildlife outside.

22.01.2022 What should you do if you encounter a snake?

22.01.2022 Friday fact! Did you know that we don't remove or relocate healthy echidnas, even if they are in yards or the suburbs? This is because Echidnas have a special k...ind of built in GPS signal in their brain and if you move them it can make it impossible for them to find their way back to their burrows where their young is kept. For this reason it's really important to never move an Echidna unless it is sick or injured. See more

18.01.2022 Just stumbled across this, pretty neat. A crow pulls ticks from the wallaby while it casually drinks. Anyone hear about this before?!

14.01.2022 My son's video of a quoll in Cathedral Rock NP near Dorrigo, seen yesterday.

14.01.2022 Koalas being culled in SA has been a hot topic in the news but the Department of Environment and Water has confirmed that will not be happening. With the m...ajor bushfires in QLD and NSW recently we have had lots of people asking why our koalas can't be moved to help the more struggling populations in other parts of Australia So we thought it was a good time to share this poster again. Whilst koalas are considered to be only 1 species, their characteristics are different to cope with the varying climates in our beautiful country. #SameSameButDifferent #Notthesame #SouthernKoalaRescue

13.01.2022 Now THIS is love Seven tiny feathertail gliders were found in a storm-damaged log in NSW, but sadly only four have survived. They are being hand-fed specific... possum/glider milk by carers with baby puree six times a day. : D. Colbert from Wildlife Rescue South Coast Inc

09.01.2022 Nest boxes - a way to improve habitat for our hollow-loving native animals The Victorian State Government has recently compiled some informative data on the us...e of nest boxes, plus some handy best practice guides. Many species of wildlife rely on natural tree hollows for nesting, breeding, and shelter. Hollows provide a safe haven from the weather and predators. Different wildlife have different requirements, and that's why it's important that nest boxes are designed to best suit animals and their conservation needs. There are thousands of nest boxes right across Australia, and they're being used by species such as possums, phascogales, and lorikeets. If you're a citizen scientist using nest boxes for conservation or thinking about installing one, check out these new helpful resources: https://www.wildlife.vic.gov.au//nest-boxes-giving-homes-t : Annette Muir and Jess Lawton

01.01.2022 Fledgling Magpie Season If you see me on the ground, hold tight, my parents are likely to be somewhere around! They may be out collecting my food or cha...sing away predators that are likely to intrude. Please give them time, and wait and see, they're extremely likely to return to me. As my legs wobble, I clumsily plummet to the ground. I’m just learning my bearings of how to get around. An exciting new world for me to see. Out of the nest and free as can be! Although I may not yet be able to fly, please don’t worry as I’m bound to get by. I can usually flutter and jump to higher ground. I can also communicate with my parents by emitting a sound. If you see me in immediate danger, please help and don’t be a stranger! If I’m injured, I need your assistance. Call your local animal rescue shelter to help secure my existence! Please don’t be tempted to take me home, and try to raise me on your own. I require experienced care, and a nutritious diet like my parents would prepare! I know you mean well, and truly thank you for caring. But when it comes to raising me, even my own parents can find it overbearing! If I’m too young and unable to be returned to my nest, (refer to flowchart) here’s something you can try to ensure I progress... Constructing a makeshift nest is easy as can be. Octopus straps, a hanging basket, leaf litter, then securely hang it up in a tree! Make sure you wait until my mum or dad return. If you see a parent attending to me, then there is no reason for further concern. If you’re EVER in doubt, do not fuss. Ring your local wildlife shelter and they’ll be able to help us!
