Oi Koala, over here mate!

Phew!

Thanks, Wombat!

Good thing you have this great big burrow, otherwise I'd have been a goner.

Oh, I see him not the only one hiding out in here.

There's a platterpuss in itchardina, good aye, a dingo, hoo, a wallaby and a trusty narrator.

Oops!

Hey, smarty pants!

In July 2019 and February 2020, catastrophic brush fires burned approximately 46 million acres

of southeastern Australia.

About the size of Washington State, it was the driest year on record, so the fires just

kept burning and danger homes of both people and animals.

While the RFS or rural fire service made up primarily of volunteers, worked bravely and

tirelessly to rescue as many people and animals as possible.

It was actually the Wombats who saved a lot of critters, selflessly sheltering them in

their extensive underground burrows where the fire couldn't get them.

Aw, shucks, guys!

But I am being given too much credit.

I was scared too.

Luckily, I had safe space to share.

It was an emergency after all.

But what exactly is a Wombat?
