Bundling 15 wombats into three cars as a bushfire threatened an Adelaide Hills wildlife sanctuary was a nervous moment for the centre's boss, Brigitte Stevens, but it was the 72 others she had to leave behind she feared for most.
This has been the case for other native animals injured in the fire, including possums taken to Minton Farm Animal Rescue at Cherry Gardens with burnt feet.Nowhere to go Ms Stevens considered Wallis Cinema at Mount Barker, which had opened its doors to people and pets as an air-conditioned sanctuary, but it was a no-go for wombats.
Thank goodness, poor darlings what a terrible time for everyone there. So greatful to the rescuers and carers 🥰
My heart breaks with hers.
Australian of the year!!
Wombats are my favourite animal. A huge thank you across twitter to the people on the ground rendering assistance to all the wildlife impacted by this bushfire. There are so many good people out there.
