A little note for those new to my blog:

I have wanted to move to Australia for years and have just recently made the leap across the big pond!
This blog chronicles my adventures and discoveries.
Please take the time to look through my archives and start my journey from the beginning!

Billabong Sanctuary

        A while ago I left the RSPCA and started looking for other jobs that focused more on wildlife. After about a month of no trabajo Robbie told me about a position at Billabong Sanctuary where he works! I went and interviewed on my birthday and a week later got the job as a Ranger! It's been really fun and even though it's been packed for the busy season, I still enjoy working with these wonderful animals. Here are some pics of some of my favourites:
Doing a mobile exhibit holding a croc with Ash on the perch.
Chilly morning hanging with Jacko the sulfur crested cockatoo.

Tonka the bare nosed wombat cuddling his wombat teddy.
Roos are always bouncing through the park.


Danni, a real gap volly from the UK and Ash, the red-tailed black cockatoo.

Me and Mojo the Galah





The first echidna I've ever seen, so cute!


 Houdini, my favourite koala riding around on my back while I clean his enclosure.

Robbie flying Yasi, the whistling kite.
Three week old red-tailed black cockatoo now being hand raised by my boss!


        Some major improvements in my life as you can see! Not that what I was doing before wasn't any fun, just that I am better suited and qualified for this line of work. New things are always happening at Billabong and especially after Yasi many new enclosures and exhibits will be popping up! I have a new animal adventures everyday and will continue to update you as the fun continues!
