Our trips into Nightcap National Park allow us to see fit an healthy wildlife, just getting on with there lives. Unfortunately on a few occasions, I've had to either rescue (and hand them over to WIRES) or move wildlife that other people had run over and left. Animals I have rescued include: echidna, tawny frogmouth and pademelon. Other less fortunate animals were dead when I found them, so all I could do was drag them off the road and check their pouches.I just spent the weekend on a WIRES wildlife rescue course, it seems that I have been doing the right thing, but now I also have the right equipment and a great support structure behind me. I just want to reiterate though, the best thing people can do is drive slow enough so that they can stop or avoid hitting wildlife in the first place. Last night whilst driving out to Minyon Falls, I avoided hitting a Bandicoot and a Bush Rat because I was driving at a responsible speed. Prevention is better that cure.
