About the Story

This story is about a female wallaroo and her joey who faced much pain and life threatening issues due to human lack of care and appreciation for our famous icon. Those of us who care for these wonderful animals we do all we can to help them survive.

Meet Sara and Jacob

Sara and Jacob are such survivors, who have healed and have remained on the property. Jacob now nine years old is huge, buff, bad boy with many joeys and ladies in his harem. Sarah still has a slight limp but it doesn’t stop her leading a full and productive life.

The Message

I hope this story helps the young readers and their parents understand what happens when we carers look after our joeys. We have to look after our wildlife, the environment and their habitats, but most of all we need support for our carers to do this vital work.
