Waterholes Wildlife Sanctuary Specialising in Koalas & Kangaroos
Caring for sick, injured, orphaned and abandoned Kangaroos & Koalas.
Today was World Kangaroo Day.
"Happy Kangaroo Day"
We pray one that one day Australia's iconic Kangaroo is respected and protected from the cruelty they are subject to.
On this day we would like to pay respect to the Kangaroos delibrately killed by the Farm Management at East Gippsland Water earlier this year.
And more recently, the Kangaroos that have died by negligence from Resi Ventures Shearwater Estate Paynesville.
Kangaroos deserve better...
Australia can do better.
Thank-you to those that care and show love, kindness and respect.
The love of a Kangaroo is like no other.
Teach your children to love our wildlife.
Teach your children to be kind....
I would like to celebrate the life of all the Kangaroos I have raised and released and to those I have sadly lost, your memory lives on, forever in my heart.
Each one is special, each one has their own unique personality, of which I have been blessed to be apart of.

Absolutely gorgeous 🥰🥰🥰
My beautiful Sarah wild and free.
Sarah along with Ally, are the oldest and first female Kangaroos released here.
They are the only original Kangaroos still alive, having survived the 2019-20 fires.
Very special to me 🙏💗🦘

Bless this beautiful angel and all her kin 🩷💖❤️💛💝
Stunning. The beauty of these animals warms my heart 🫶
She is beautiful
Please help, donate and share, every cent counts.
Too precious to loose, Friends of Gippsland Lakes are asking for the local wildlife residents and environment to be respected.
Green belts must be apart of developments and conditions adhered to. This development has failed so far and its only just begun....
This area where the kangaroos died and Latham Snipe are, is a small part of a huge development. Ideally this area should be protected for a green belt for this precious area. Its on top of the World renown, Ramsar Wetlands.
Please help.

Eight kangaroos died. A threatened migratory species is next.… Friends of Gippsland Lakes Inc needs your support for Eight kangaroos died. Are threatened migratory species next?5 CommentsComment on Facebook
Funding is for legal action.
I also would like to know why funding is needed. Surely it should be more likely people power needed to put pressure on the powers to be.
Funding is not going to help! Get onto the media and say that wildlife-corridors need to be implemented for the wildlife to disperse!
Its about time Australia protected its Kangaroos.
Tell our Australian Government to stop the cruel killing of Kangaroos.

Just a quick update on the Shearwater Estate, to ask for everyone's support. We urgently need people to write a short, polite email to The East Gippsland Shire Council requesting the council uphold the permit conditions.
It is councils' responsibility to enforce conditions that are not being adhered to. There is a council meeting this week.
A few points to high light
8 kangaroos dead from the resident family mob that locals have watched and lived with for many years.
Dead because of a fence erected that is not compliant with the permit Resi Ventures (owner of Shearwater) has been issued.
Council must enforce the current permit 5.2022.344.1 and enforce the conditions, including the mammal management plan.
Council must remove the fence and make the site safe for wildlife living there. It does not comply with permit conditions.
EPBC protected Latham Snipe a migratory shorebird listed as vulnerable, have now returned to the site.
5 are on site now
East Gippsland Shire Council are about to sign off on an ecological survey that decides how much habitat can be cleared.
Once it's done, its locked in.
However, the survey was done by the developers own consultants. The permit conditions state that it requires a genuinely independent ecologist. This hasn't been adhered to.

Video is taken from the walking track between Paynesville and Eagle Point. This track is where the kangaroos cross to return to the saftey of the wetlands and covered area during the day. You can see the fence has been erected in the wrong location and does not adhere to the permit conditions. It has completely blocked the kangaroos natural throughfare. There are now panels opened up and no more deaths as yet🙏, but it still isn't good enough to ignore this wrong doing. It is still causing distress and the site still is unsafe for kangaroos.
We are requesting council enforce permit conditions.

Can we use all this information that you have written in this post as part of email to council?
Lot easier and cheaper to get the local kangaroo shooters in.

Speak up for Kangaroos demand government end commercial shooting and properly regulate ATCW permits.
At the moment there is no protection for Kangaroos from suffering from Kangaroo shooters.
It is all self regulated, no one but the shooter, is present during killing.
No regulation whats so ever.
If you eat Kangaroo meat or buy products made from Kangaroo, most people will not be aware, that it is supporting cruelty to kangaroos.
Please do not buy any Kangaroo products.
The cruelty is abhorrent.

This is Sarah with her fifth baby, a little girl I've called Kelsey.
Out of the five babies, only one has reached adulthood.
I pray this little one survives 🙏🦘
Sarah is our only remaining bushfire survivor, from the 2019-20 fires.
She's now 9 years old.
The love they have is immeasurable 💓
