October Donations

A very big THANK YOU to everyone that came to my recent Wildlife Exhibition. For those of you that missed it- i made a short guided tour video to show you around. I am still working on it and hope to upload it soon. 
During the 3 weeks of my exhibition i spoke to LOTS of people and got the message about ways to help save our wildlife, out there. People were surprised to learn lots of things- from a wombats pouch that faces backwards, that a "sprayed" dead animal does not mean that council are coming (it means that it has been checked for a pouch or young baby), how wombats are treated for mange and most importantly- that koalas need our help and are listed as a VULNERABLE species. 

I was also lucky enough to raise $1,233.70 for my 3 koala groups.  Since my exhibition closed I have also raised some more money and tonight- I donated $1,801.98.

You can help me to raise money for these groups by donating to my online fundraiser-

Here are some updates from my 3 groups​

Janet- MacArthur Western Victoria

Janet is super busy with a number of joeys in care and older koalas. She is also working on fitting out her shed and converting it into her own koala treatment hospital. With the help of local group- MacArthur Mens Shed- its looking amazing! 
The money that I donate to her will help with so many things including- formula for the joey's, a medication cabinet and other items to make her shed complete. 

Dutch Thunder Wildlife Shelter

Dutch were very lucky to have recently received a grant BUT, they still need to raise $30,000.00 towards getting researchers to come to the area to study how scabies is affecting the koala population. There is NO treatment or cure for Sarcoptic mange (scabies) in koalas and they are dying in alarming numbers from this.  They are working really closely with Melbourne University, Sydney University and Tooronga Zoo's Infectious Disease Department.  Read more about Dutch Thunder HERE

They have started a Koala Sighting page to try and keep up with their koala populations and hopefully their health. ​MURRAY RIVER KOALA SIGHTINGS  so if you are along the Victorian/NSW border and happen to spot a koala- share your sighting.

Australia Zoo - Wildlife Visionary Warrior

This video says it all really- I LOVE Bindi Irwin and her family. They help save thousands of animals every year, especially koalas. If I can help them in any way- I am happy.
