A perfect night at Perfection Berries!
Last month we were excited to welcome back a veterinary student group from The University of Adelaide for an action packed two weeks of wildlife work. We were privileged to be welcomed back to Perfection Berries to monitor their resident platypuses. We are pleased to report that three healthy platypus were checked over and released back to their dams, ready to get on with their spring business.

We are pleased to now share it with all of you!

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

With help from these three amazing University of Sydney veterinary students, we had a record week; successfully catching, examining and then safely releasing a grand total of 28 bandicoots in just three days 🙌 The bandicoot don’t mind the colder weather, enjoying the extra hours of darkness to forage 🐛 🪱 🪲

Have you ever seen a platypus playing?
How beautiful to see them so happy and relaxed at our fantastic research partner Emu Valley Rhododendron Garden

We have been fortunate enough to be supported by Camp Clayton over the last few years in giving us access to study the bandicoots living on their very special grounds. After a November check-in we are pleased to report the bandicoot populations are healthy and thriving! We were able to gain invaluable health data on a total of 11 bandicoots over 2 days, including some new juveniles. We were also happy to reunite with old friends, including an eastern barred bandicoot first caught as a juvenile in October 2023 weighing just 350 grams, who now is an adult at nearly a kilogram and with babies of her own! We are so grateful to everyone Camp Clayton for providing such an amazing refuge for these special animals.
Keep a watch out over the next few weeks as we share some more footage of these young bandicoot

Last month we had a very special student group join us for a couple weeks of bandicooting and platypus work. As an alumni of The University of Adelaide , Dr Alex was very excited to welcome these final year vet students and Dr Wayne Boardman to get a taste of wildlife medicine in beautiful Tasmania. The students made this fantastic video to memorialize their time here, and have generously allowed us to share it here with you all
