A Journey of Compassion: Beth’s Wildlife Rescue Mission



Early Saturday morning, as the first light of dawn broke over the horizon, a journey of compassion was about to unfold in the vast landscapes of Western Australia. Beth, a seasoned wildlife carer and medic, embarked on a mission from Tambellup to Munglinup, a quaint town nestled in the Shire of Ravensthorpe.

First stop was to meet Esperance Roo Haven's, Lynn, who waited with four precious joeys in need of a new sanctuary. The air was crisp, and the anticipation was high as Beth prepared for the day ahead, knowing that the lives of these young kangaroos were about to change forever.

Maddie and Noelle, two resilient girls weighing around 10 kg each, were destined for Karlup Animal Sanctuary. There, they would embark on the next chapter of their lives, preparing for a future release back into the wild. Their journey was not just a relocation but a step closer to freedom.

Meanwhile, Katie and Kenny, two delicate pinkies, found their temporary home at Amaris Wildlife Sanctuary. Under the watchful eye of Jaffa, who would soon become their babysitter, they would spend the next 12 months growing into healthy and robust kangaroos.

The day’s adventure continued as Beth made her way to Ravensthorpe to meet Aletta and pick up Mr. Squiggles, now affectionately known as Noah. His new carers had traveled a staggering 600 km round trip from Bunbury to welcome him into their hearts and lives, a testament to the lengths we go for the creatures we love.

Despite some challenges with sedation, the transfer of the larger girls was a flurry of activity. Quick thinking and swift action ensured they were soon on their way to their new sanctuary. 
Sandy, with her nurturing touch, warmed milk and a heat pad, ready for the next leg of the journey, grabbed Noah and was soon on her way.

As the sun dipped lower in the sky, marking the end of an eventful day, Beth’s exhaustion was palpable. Yet, it was overshadowed by the satisfaction of a job well done. Cool, calm, and collected, she had once again proven to be the ideal person for this mammoth task.

Beth’s unwavering confidence and level-headed approach to every challenge make her an invaluable treasure to Amaris and the wildlife community. Her dedication to transporting joeys from Perth and Esperance is a beacon of hope in the world of wildlife conservation.

So, here’s to Beth, a true champion of the wild, whose heart beats in unison with the land she loves and the animals she vows to protect. Thank you, Beth, for being the guardian angel of kangaroos.

This post is a tribute to the unsung heroes like Beth who dedicate their lives to wildlife care. Their stories inspire us to appreciate the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of preserving the natural world for generations to come.
