Another feel-good story -
I've mentioned Richard Glover before, he's the radio DJ who doesn't wash his hair any more (with shampoo). He's also a newspaper columnist, a very entertaining man. But also deeply caring. He's been down to Healesville (wildlife sanctuary, fabulous breeding zoo of Aussie native animals and birds) to see how the wildlife is going at the sanctuary, he reported on it on the radio this afternoon. There is a link to the mp3 of his report. husband suggested I share it with you.
Also on the link are some photos of a recovering koala. In the photo you'll see a common way they try to support these animals emotionally - they actually give them a toy koala to cuddle. They have found it greatly improves their survival.

Enjoy!
by the way, sadly the death toll has now risen to 189, with the likelihood of still more to come as the search for bodies continues.
