Grampian Fires Rescue Efforts and Volunteer Work
For several weeks now, our volunteers have been working tirelessly in the Grampians bushfire disaster zones - rescuing, treating, and caring for wildlife caught in the devastation.
Wallaby release – rescued from fire zone
Many weeks ago, Dr Audrey and darter Oliver came across a little wallaby in the fire zone – her burns were minor, but she had a painful toe infection. She was our first beacon of hope after so much devastation.
