Koala Bridget

Koala Bridget - our second research participant

Koala Bridget took a misadventure into the streets of Brown Hill. A member of the public raised the alarm and Jen Greenhalgh was able to rescue Bridget and take her to Eastwood Vets for a checkup. After a short time in care at Shanhaven Shelter, she was able to be released back to the Creswick State Forrest. 

While Bridget wore a radio transponder which allowed her to be tracked for a defined period of time post release. Unfortunately Bridget's tracking collar came off after only a short time of her release.

We are doing our best in this quest to save our future generations of our iconic Koala and that does not happen without a team from advocacy to care and release, it’s all essential!
