If you spot a Greyhound wearing one of these coats you'll know that he or she has been retired and lovingly prepared for adoption by Jo and her family. He/she will be eager to meet you and will beg a pat or two :-)

PLEASE CALL COUNCIL TO COLLECT THE BODIES. 1300 692 247.
We do not (and cannot legally) move the bodies.
If you see a blue mark on the bodies, you know one of our volunteers has checked the pouch to see if there’s a live Joey. That’s our role and service. We have also reported it to council (all our volunteers know to do this). Although not our role, we do this as a way of helping the community & council.
If bodies are continuously there for days, we’ve likely already reported them multiple times. You can help do this too.
We’re sorry the bodies from the dog attacks last week are still there. We know this is upsetting. Hopefully they’ll be removed today.
Please remember to be kind to our volunteers who run the 24/7 hotline. There’s only so much we can do. And same goes to showing understanding to the people who answer Council’s number. Kindness and respect should be shown no matter how frustrating a situation is.
The whole Niche Gallery space is filled with Melanie Hava's 9 metre painting Bugan Mungan. Her signature style of birds and animals creates a surreal world which is complemented by the calls of rainforest creatures.
On until 18 Feb
Open 7 days, no booking required
This exhibition has been supported through a Cairns RSL Club Artist Fellowship Award

This month's film is Tanna. Set on a remote Pacific island, covered in rain forest and dominated by an active volcano, this heartfelt story, enacted by the Yakel tribe, tells of a sister's loyalty, a forbidden love affair and the pact between the old ways and the new.

We're very lucky to have Dr Annabelle back in Cairns to present this course, so we're hoping you can come along to learn from her knowledge and experience in this wildlife field!
In Cairns we are very fortunate to have lots of rescues working to save and rehome animals in need. Adopt a Rescue Pet Cairns and Surrounds features albums of animals available at each rescue in our region. As I am not always able to keep the albums up to date I have decided to create this album which contains links to each rescue group's fb page.( or website if they are not on facebook)
