20.01.2022 Kai Wild travelled to Kangaroo Island from Sydney to volunteer for the rescue operation, lending his tree-climbing expertise as a qualified arborist to bring in... injured koalas. He said this moment of the orphaned koala joeys in a laundry basket with soft toys was captured when they decided to relocate them from rescuers Sam & Dana's living room to be in the makeshift built wildlife hospital in Kingscote. "There's a lot of good happening at the moment but there's plenty of more to be done." Great work Kai & to all the team on Kangaroo Island helping out : @kailaswild via Instagram

11.01.2022 An incredible tribute to all the animals lost to the bushfires. Newcastle digital artist Ellie has shared this moving illustration with us. She says: "I had the... image forming in my mind all week. After seeing all of the images of the injured wildlife and thinking of all the smaller lesser known mammals, reptiles and insects etc which would have been obliterated, knowing that areas will be on the verge of ecological collapse and will never regenerate quite the same, I have a very heavy heart." "The image just kept coming to me, so I had to sketch it out. I was up until 2am to finish it, then when I posted it I saw the option to start a donation for wildlife. Im glad that people are finding this image touching and I hope that it can stir interest in protecting not just Koalas and Kangaroos, but whole ecosystems." You can donate to animal charities via the ABC Appeals page https://ab.co/35yNQnI Thank you to Elliem Illustrations for sharing her illustration with us.

06.01.2022 Close to home but not accessible at the moment for a holiday. It's an awesome place. Have you been on the island?
05.01.2022 A wet old day .. a great excuse to curl up and read.

03.01.2022 Writing - language in the written form - must have rules and they must be applied for understanding. Drives me nuts when people can't get grammar correct. Do I judge? Mmmm, possibly.
02.01.2022 Well, this is koala-ty When 1300Koalaz were called to Amanda McCormick’s home in South Australia's Coromandel Valley they thought it was a prank call. Low ...and behold this little guy had wandered into Amanda's house and tried to be the angel on top of her Christmas tree. The holly jolly Koala was safely removed by wildlife carers. : Amanda McCormick via 1300Koalaz
02.01.2022 COASTIES CREATE FOOD FOR WILDLIFE Hundreds of volunteers have come together on the Central Coast, led by Central Coast Wildlife Search and Rescue to create... food for native animals displaced by the bushfire at Charmhaven. When animals survive fire, they move to different areas, which may not have the right food available to them, particularly in drought conditions. Australian Walkabout Wildlife Park suggests these tips for those wanting to put out food: for kangaroos and wallabies, the safest food is grass pellets (pony pellets, horse fattener pellets, macropod pellets). Please do NOT feed animal pellets that contain seeds. Pellets do break down in the rain, so put them under cover e.g. in hollowed out trees or under rock shelves or under fallen logs. A range of vegetables, inclu. dark green vegetables and rolled oats are a good substitute too, don't break down in the rain, and will give them more variety. And weetbix (low sugar wheat biscuits) are excellent. Native foods (flowers, leaves, grasses) are best, but with the drought and fires they're in short supply. Different kinds of possums have different types of gut systems. Fruit is dangerous for ringtail possums. If they eat fruit they commonly get "bloat", a paralysed gut which is painful and life threatening. This is because their gut is designed for the same food as a koala. So if you are putting out food for possums and you can't find enough native food for them, only feed non-sweet vegetables (much the same as for kangaroos). Feeding nuts should be ok. Please remember fruit and birdseed are dangerous for kangaroos and possums. Please don't feed these anywhere where there may be other climbing or hopping wildlife (which is almost anywhere). Putting it high in a tree is still risky. Possums can reach it, and they can drop it on the ground where kangaroos will eat it. What birds need most desperately is water. Most birds can fly long distances to new places to find food, as long as they have water. Water, like shown in the photos (with a stick/log for animals to climb in and out) is important, too.
01.01.2022 "Stay safe, little buddy." Gavin Devine came across this koala looking to cross busy Mt Gravatt Capalaba Rd just outside of Brisbane over the weekend. "Came acr...oss a little fella needing a hand to cross the big bad road and make it safely to his next tree. I think he was happy just to have a chat in the middle of the road before he moved on ... looking after one if our national icons." Good on you, Gavin : Gavin Devine
