Short term visitor. Stinker-more commonly known as a Swamp Wallaby or as I like to call them not-kangarooaby. Very different to a kangaroo, like a brushtail possum mated with a kangaroo. With their tiny heads, beady eyes, chunky bodies and weird smell that is cross between leaves, something sweet and wee.

In all the years here and the thousands of kangaroos I have rescued, only 3 rescues were wallabies and I have never had one in care. Don't intend on having another any time soon either 😁

She has been transferred to Eva, somewhere she will be appreciated for the weird specimen of Macropod that she is!

Tonights visitor. Southern boobook owl. My camera could only adjust so much to the darkness.

Not going to read anything into the fact he has appeared on Halloween night. Hopefully just looking for food and is not a messenger....

💚 People’s Choice Winner – In Loving Memory of Nigel 💚

Our heartfelt congratulations to Sue Johnston, winner of this year’s World Kangaroo Day People’s Choice Award, for her deeply moving photo of Nigel — a kangaroo who touched countless hearts and became a true local legend.

Nigel was known to many in Rowville. He became an unexpected internet celebrity earlier this year, but to those who really knew him, he was far more than a fleeting headline. He was gentle, kind, and full of quiet strength. He brought calm to the community and reminded everyone who crossed his path of the beauty and spirit of kangaroos.

Through Sue’s words and photographs, we see Nigel not as a story on social media, but as a sentient being with personality, resilience and heart. His memory will continue to inspire compassion and respect for all kangaroos.

🦘 Vale Nigel. You were loved, and you will be remembered. 💚

WORLD KANGAROO DAY

Although it is Kangaroo day every day here, today is an opportunity to raise awareness for our Kangaroos.

Every year 100's of thousands of these animals hit by vehicles, killed for pet food or culled by land owners. The Government who use them as a National emblem, are happy to promote them for tourism during the day but kill them at night. These beautiful and loving animals are treated like rubbish.

It costs Wildlife carers approximately $2000 to raise one orphaned joey to release. Once released it can then be shot for $15.

Please help to protect them by
*Refusing to buy Kangaroo products.
*Drive carefully where Kangaroos live and encourage others to do the same.
*Approach your local Council/or road authority to install virtual fencing, warning signs or wildlife overpasses.
*Follow your favourite Kangaroo page. Learn about them.
*Reach out to your local rescuer or Wildlife Shelter. They may need volunteers to help or supplies like blankets, cleaning products, food, milk etc.

Reaching out for another wildlife shelter in need.

South Oakleigh Wildlife Shelter has had some major expenses recently. All at the same time, the washing machine, dishwasher and kitchen tap stopped working. With so many animals to care for, washing their bowls, giving them a drink, washing their pouches, making formula etc became impossible.

She bought a new washing machine, the plumber has installed a new kitchen tap, she now has a new dishwasher in a box in the kitchen but since she has just had to pay for all of the above, her funds are depleted and cannot have it installed.

🙂
So... I am looking for someone who would be kind enough to get the old dishwasher out of the kitchen and install her new dishwasher please.

There is still time to vote for my pic of Nigel in the peoples choice award for the world kangaroo day competition. I don't think he will win the $1000 main prize judged by Steve Parish now the professional photographers have submitted pics but the peoples choice prize of $50 would be good!

POST #2 - To the group chasing kangaroos on motorbikes in the Powerline easement (between Hallam North Rd and Churchill Park Dr):

THIS IS THE RESULT OF LAST NIGHTS RIDE. You drove a mob of terrified kangaroos straight onto Hallam North Rd and this little girl was hit by a car. She was 18 months old.

Every single time you take your bikes out there, the Police will be notified. Every single time your actions result in death, injury, or displacement of the kangaroos, I will be posting on Facebook.

Even if the community think what you are doing is harmless and isn't paying attention now, they will eventually get sick of seeing posts like this and they will start calling 000.

You will be caught.
