A pair of young wallaby joeys are getting a fresh start in life after being rescued and taken into the care of North Queensland Wildlife Care. The tiny marsupials, still dependent on bottle feeds, are now receiving the nourishment, warmth and attention they need to recover and grow.
The joeys will remain in care until they are strong enough to be released back into the wild, where they will eventually hop freely once more. For now, dedicated carers are providing round-the-clock feeding, comfort and specialised support to ensure each animal has the best possible chance of survival.
The organisation relies heavily on community generosity to continue its work, with donations, volunteer involvement and the purchase of food or supplies all helping to cover the cost of milk, feed and essential care items.
This small act of compassion is one of many carried out by North Queensland Wildlife Care each week, reminding the community of the difference everyday kindness can make in protecting local wildlife.
