This is the message that local wildlife rescuers and carers John and Sandra Lyle are trying to get across to locals.

John and Sandra have been wildlife rescuers for eight years. They tell their story from their kitchen from which you can see their “nursery”: lines of pretty -coloured pouches where eight baby grey kangaroos, two red-necked baby wallabies and one very cute baby wombat snuggle.

In the corner is the bed of a black swamp wallaby suffering myopathy - a muscle weakening disease caused by intense stress - after the wallaby wandered into Bathurst and was stressed by dogs and people. John and Sandra say it is a full -time job trying to save the animal.

This nursery is only the beginning for these babies. John and Sandra have a declared wildlife refuge near Black Springs where wildlife are taken to learn how to become wild again, before being released into the national park.

John and Sandra are urging locals to make the call when they hit wildlife on our roads, so that they can try to save the animal, or even just check and possibly save any young.

John said they take care of all wildlife, except for snakes.

John said they do not judge people when a wildlife accident happens but they ask people to contact them to let them know where to find injured animals.

“We can be called 24 hours a day. And the person who makes the call does not even need to wait around,” he said.

If you accidentally hit any wildlife, please contact John and Sandra on 6336 5286 or 0418 687 735.
