Righto, so puppy dog has decided that the vacumn cleaner was a foe and has made it redundant. Thanks Bella!!! Guess who is going shopping for a new one tomorrow - not Bella! Would be good if I could send her. Remember how I said that you never have to plan a weekend out here? Yesterday, a quiet day was not quiet at all, today was the same. And tonight will be interesting as there are storms about which always means more wombat activity on the deck. Woke up to a wombat peering into the bedroom window 2 nights ago, not sure that I knew this one. It ran off quite quickly once the sensor light came on. There is more activity than normal about but that could be because of the rains and amount of food in and around the creek. Still no sign of Barney although....judging by the cubes near the enclosure area, he might be around.
I know it is not everybody's cup of tea but watching an animal that you have raised and rehabilitated, 7 years on down at the creek is quite humbling. Wombats (and all wildlife) have such a damn hard life, for them to survive and thrive is just the best feeling. When the sensor lights come on at night, it normally means somebody is about and I go out and see who it is. All the wombats rehabilitated here are dehumanised as the final stage so you cannot get close but you can observe from a distance. Its great.
Sleepy Burrows is where humans and wombats inhabit the area. It's a place where you never plan anything, life does that for you. You can of course plan your day, but you would have the wildlife laughing at you from afar:).
