A rare and remarkable visitor
NRWH. One of our most extraordinary patients this month was a spotted-tailed quoll, a species listed as threatened in NSW and endangered nationally. The quoll was first discovered by a Pimlico resident who believed they had found a wild cat trapped in their chicken coop!

Dunoon United Football Club women flying high
Simon Webster. Dunoon United has a women's Premier League team for the first time in the club's 32-year-history.

A medicated spa day for one lucky echidna
NR Wildlife Hospital. Thankfully, not every patient journey begins in crisis. A crowd favourite on our socials this month, this little echidna came in bright eyed and alert, but a little too smelly for our liking!
