WE ARE THE LUCKY ONES!

My name is Jimbo and I am an eighteen month old wombat who was rescued by a caring member of our community after my mum was killed on the road by a car.
 Our new mum, Marcia and dad Chris from Bayview Bush Babies, Lake Leake Road, Swansea, Tasmania, Australia look after us 24/7 feeding us every 4 hours until weaned.  She gives us all the love and care we need to grow big and strong.  She does not cage us and we get to mix with our native cousins who teach us all the bush skills we need to be able to survive in the wild.  We stay with mum until we feel we are ready to go off into the bush to live.  We always miss her so we usually visit each few weeks or sometimes months to show us we are well and introduce her to our new friends or partners. 
My mum and dad have been volunteer wildlife carers for 12 years in Tasmania who devote their lives to our welfare without funding or assistance from anyone.  They have not had a holiday for years because they would worry leaving us with someone else in case something happened to us.

 Wow! are we the lucky ones.  If anyone feels that they would like to fund one of our keep until we go into the bush I am sure she would appreciate it.  She is not doing it for the money and would probably appreciate some help but would never ask for it.
