While in Adelaide, we were super lucky to get to visit the Adelaide Koala and Wildlife Hospital where they take injured animals in to care for them and should all go well, release them back into the wild. Rae Campbell started this project and it is purely run on donations of money or more hands on/logistical support. It really is a wonderful project and has many success stories.
