Thank you to Newscorp and the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal. The grant is greatly appreciated by the Raymond Island community.

03.01.2022 Saturday 25th July saw the return of the first four Mallacoota fire Koalas - Joe, Alex, Connie and Cuddles. They were so little and injured when they left and ...now such strong healthy girls and boys all released onto our property into totally unburned forested area. They are all ear tagged with three having green ear tags and one having a pink ear tag. If you do happen to see any of them, could you please let us know. Southern Ash Wildlife Centre did an amazing job caring for and bringing these babies back to full health. See more
