Sunny was the first wombat rescued from floodwaters in December. She was found by some wonderful people who were grabbing their belongings. They grabbed Sunny too. The houses you see in the video were under water within hours. Her survival is a miracle! Here she is in her new home in our main sanctuary 😍 | Wombat Awareness Organisation

It’s strange the turns life takes. When Wombat Rescue was founded it was primarily about the work out there. In the field. The rescue side of things that includes mange treatment. And although I now get average 5 callouts per week I find myself looking at this little girl (and Raye) and think this is right. I was meant to be her carer. Something like destiny😊 she is so trusting.. and Raye is not just such a great diplomat (or DiploBat) for her kind but she’s such a gentle and calm girl. Jemma s

Canberra-based wombat rescuer Yolandi Vermaark of Wombat Rescue is on the frontline of fighting mange in wombats. Here, Australian Geographic follows her on one of her typical weekends, which involves looking for joeys in roadkill and treating a small population of wombats with cydectin that helps get rid of mange. It's a hard story to watch, but Yolandi believes all Australians need to open their eyes to the incredible suffering wombats with mange endure. | Australian Geographic
