Ruins Way Baz

Baz was a juvenile koala who had more than likely recently left his mother’s home range.  He was found after the 2019/2020 bushfires by 2 firefighters.  He was quite badly burnt with partial to full thickness burns on his hands, feet and nose.  The extent of his burns has resulted in permanent loss of claws on his hands and feet, plus scar tissue on digits and his chin.  Ruins Way Baz is able to climb trees with very narrow trunks but would not survive in the wild.

Maria River Road Jan
In late summer of 2019 a small male joey was found curled up in the middle of the road and was lucky not to have been hit by a car.  Jan (pronounced Yarn) responded to treatment despite several setbacks and is now a permanent resident at the Koala Hospital.  He has a lovely nature and the volunteers enjoy looking after him.
