Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park is one of the many tourism businesses who has suffered great hardship as a result of the catastrophic summer bushfires, so it was wonderful to see them featured on The Project last night as part of #WildTurkeyWithThanks. This important initiative, creatively directed by Mr McConaughey, seeks to shine a light on inspiring local legends who lived through the bushfires to emerge with their communities stronger than ever.
