Baby Joey

I unfortunately was unsuccessful at getting her to feel safe with me. I had to keep away while Kate(the�wildlife carer)�fed her and put her to bed. They are such beautiful creatures. Kate usually had a few little ones to look after at the same time. If she felt overloaded, she would palm off a new joey to another carer she has trained. It was a full time job looking after these little rascals.
Usually when they are this size, they have a good chance of surviving.

Rayya The Vet

I was born overseas and grew up in Lebanon. About 9 years ago, I left my family and friends behind to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian in Australia.

I have now been out in practice for the past 5 years. I absolutely love being involved with all types of animals and consider it my "calling". Whilst my job can be quite an emotional rollercoaster ride, I cannot fathom doing anything else for as long as I am living. I simply feel blessed every day that I am practicing what I truly love.
