| Rocky today 18 months |
Rocky, our first koala joey raised, was soft released 3
weeks ago and now lives between our property and the neighbours. He is enjoying
his new found territory. Our resident old male koala, Buster has accepted him
and sometimes they even share trees.
Little Nell our baby koala is 13 months old, growing well
and now lives fulltime outside. Nell is still on a small bottle of milk each
day and is in the process of being weaned. Nell spends her daytime climbing
freely in the eucalyptus and Boobialla trees. At night she is in a secure pen
to keep her safe. She will be soft released around 17 months. We have nicknamed
Nell 'monkey' as she can swing and jump extraordinary distances, up to 3
metres.

A young female koala in very poor body condition was rescued
after being found sitting on the ground. Unfortunately she passed away in care
2 days later. A middle-aged male koala was also rescued after being found
sitting on the ground and, unfortunately, had to be euthanized due to severe
kidney infection.
Ali, our baby kangaroo joey, is growing and is now 11 months
old. Ali still requires 5 bottles of milk each day. He spends most of his time
in his pouch but is now venturing out and confident to stay out of his pouch
for longer periods of time. Ali’s pouch is open front and he has his head out
most of the day. He enjoys grazing on fresh grass roots and dirt. Ali loves to
go for huge hops and can jump quite high now.
Please keep dogs on leash at all times. At night when koalas are on the move, keep dogs restrained - most of our dog attacks have occurred during the night. We ask residents to please be mindful of your dogs and the koalas. Remember we share our homes with the wildlife and they share theirs with us.
