A moment in time, that changed my life. Years ago I worked at a publicist at an Australian wildlifepark.
As my job involved working with Australian and overseas media, journalists, film crews...I needed to learn a lot about our incredible animals. One day I walked in for a chat...and the wildlife carers introduced me to our first ever wombat...an orphan joey called Wilson. His mum was killed in a road accident.
β€οΈ
Part of the purpose of choosing a wombat as the narrator 4 my kids book...was to raise awareness about how to help Australian wildlife.
All of us can help.
One key thing is don't travel at night or dawn..and always keep an eye out 4 animals when driving. Many animals...including wombats...are out more during the day in winter.
Look out for animals. Slow down, stop, and report sick/ injured / deceased animals to a wildlife rescue crew. Thanks 4 helping our incredible animals.
