An incredible lucky day for this wombat. Its 1.5 hours drive for us to get here and softly raining. We expected to put a camera up with a flap as this sick wombat lives under the house But as soon as we were on the access road I spotted a wombat shape in the garden She was out and about and we got a dose on her quickly before she bolted What made it harder was the wind was blowing on my back so blowing my smell directly towards her. I could see her sniffing the air as she became aware of me so I

I’m so relieved we finally found the wombat that had severe mange and living in the drains at Lake Tuggeranong near Drakeford drive He disappeared for a few weeks and then popped up this week. The community portal was in overdrive as so many saw him and reported him. It’s a very unsafe area with lots of off leash dogs, a major 4 lane road next to where we was and nowhere except a wet drain to live in We caught him last night and thanks to collaborating with the RSPCA ACT we have him in a safe en

Another wombat treated for mange early this morning. We suspect it’s Stu, a wombat treated once last year before he disappeared. One dose Bravecto is not enough so it’s starting from scratch again and hopefully we can give him two follow up doses. Lucky for him he has most of the fur on his back but his front legs and torso is covered in thick plaques If you want to support us in helping them please do. It costs us an average of $250 per wombat for treatment. You can donate at www.wombatrescue.c

Canberra-based wombat rescuer Yolandi Vermaark of Wombat Rescue is on the frontline of fighting mange in wombats. Here, Australian Geographic follows her on one of her typical weekends, which involves looking for joeys in roadkill and treating a small population of wombats with cydectin that helps get rid of mange. It's a hard story to watch, but Yolandi believes all Australians need to open their eyes to the incredible suffering wombats with mange endure. | Australian Geographic
