Do you remember our post about the Koala Rescue? Well, today we got good news. The koala we found in the garden was named Nina whilst in care of the Koala Hospital. It was touch and go for a very long time, as she was completely dehydrated, but luckily with koalas things change quickly.
Today we were told that Koala Nina was ready for release. It was decided that Wittunga Botanical Gardens was the most suitable release site at this time of year because of the lake providing a water source. At release she weighed 5.37 kg and has a yellow ear tag No 098. Now we can track her movements and also have her medical history on file. The carers at the Koala Hospital told me she has a particularly gentle nature and her carers will miss her.
Here she is, back in a big Blue Gumtree.
