Animal Hospital



Continuing the theme of Australia Zoo, there is the Australian Wildlife Hospital there and for a $2 donation you can have a quick look. There is the most amazing sculpture out the front.

This poor koala is recovering from surgery. It had been attacked by a dog, a common problem for them where suburbia has encroached on their environment. They are slow moving on the ground and tend to go in their chosen direction without detour. It may involve crossing back yards, over fences, paddling across the backyard swimming pool and across roads. Not a good mix.
