Continued our scouting along the Murrumbidgee river to assess the damage it’s done to our wombat populations after the massive flooding last week In this area though the riverbanks are much wider and gentler sloped so the river didnt push up as high although it was still a good 4m higher than it was tonight which is an enormous amount of water We found 3 wombats grazing and one had early signs of mange so I gave her a direct treatment She is just gorgeous and gave me hope | Wombat Rescue

Hope the wombat has officially left the building and moved to her new home in the wild at Cedar Creek Wombat Rescue Inc and Wombat Hospital! It was a pleasure for us to hand raise Hope after she had a rough start to life and we're so excited to see her grow up at Cedar Creek! Hope brought a lot of joy to us during our closure and happiness all over the world to those who needed it most. We love her and can't wait to visit her in the wild! | Australian Reptile Park

Canberra-based wombat rescuer Yolandi Vermaark of Wombat Rescue is on the frontline of fighting mange in wombats. Here, Australian Geographic follows her on one of her typical weekends, which involves looking for joeys in roadkill and treating a small population of wombats with cydectin that helps get rid of mange. It's a hard story to watch, but Yolandi believes all Australians need to open their eyes to the incredible suffering wombats with mange endure. | Australian Geographic
