TAHYA

Picture
Little Tayha was
trying  to cross a very busy road at Salamander Bay.
She was helped by
a  young girl and her mum.
The girl attends a
local  school who are very aware of koalas and their plight.
I have spoken to
the  entire school and they introduced me to their "resident koalas" great to
see the  students and teachers so involved.
They also have
planted  many, many koala food trees and plan to plant more.
Well done
SOLDIERS POINT SCHOOL !!
Back to Tayha (the
  koala), the  girl and her mum stayed with Tayha and made sure that while she
  crossed other roads and scanned non food trees she was  safe, until we got
  there. Tayha had been taught by her mum to cross the road. We were getting a
  number of calls about a mother and baby crossing the road around Christmas
  time. Now we are getting calls about a small koala crossing the road in that
  area, no doubt not just Tayha. Problem is really good food trees on opposite
  sides of the road.
So Tayha is a very
  healthy little girl. We micro chipped her, told her to please stay safe and
  released her in some bush away from the road but she will be back ... our hope
  is that other people help her, and the others cross ... so far they have been
  lucky.
Now I didn't tell
you  the little girls name did I ? Can you guess ?
Our thanks to these two  doesn't seem enough, it never does, but -Thank YOU
