A year ago we put some money to very good use in supporting a local project initiated by Sydney Wildlife for a rehabilitation facility in land they had leased in Waratah Park. While loading the rest of this week's Issue a report came through at 3.00 a.m. on all the wonderful wallabies and kangaroos this facility has saved so far and great news that this team of volunteers is now undertaking to expand the facility.
Many of the people involved in this project are residents of Pittwater and close-by areas. They undertake this work on top of full-time jobs and looking after their own families. Three a.m. feedings are par for the course.
