Little Grace was handed over to us by a lovely family who noticed that the joey's mother had slipped from a high embankment and passed away, inside was this beautiful little girl.
YOGI BEAR

Slowly he is gaining his confidence, baby steps for this little boy. Another road accident.

This little sweetheart was handed in to a pub one night by tourists that hit her mother and had the heart to check the pouch.
NINA NINA (the little ballerina)
Bare-nosed wombat
A tiny girl with a huge heart. Thank you to our local Alpine Ranger (Nina) and our council workers for checking the pouch of her deceased mum.
IGGY BEAR
Bare-nosed Wombat
Found all alone, wondering aimlessly in a paddock full of cows, Little Bear was petrified and exhausted, covered in scratches tics & bites. The little pink pads on his hands and feet were worn and dirty. Mum was no where to be found. Sadly Bear is now an orphan, although his journey is far from over. With the assistance of ROWA's foster care program, Iggy will be well cared for until his release.
PETER PARKER
Ringtale Possum
Meet Peter Parker, a dear little Ringtail possum.
Peter weighed only 65gr when he came into our care, he was also found on the ground all alone. We're happy to see his little face light up when he is with MJ!
VIOLET
Eastern Grey Kangaroo
Violet was found in the pouch of her mother on the roadside. We don't know much else about her, except that she is a very loving and confident little miss. she is thriving and loves to hop around the yard. She has recently gone to be with her new mob getting ready for the day that she becomes a big girl and goes back to nature.
BARBARA STRIESAND (Babs)
Bare-nosed Wombat
This beautiful little girl was found tucked tight in the pouch of her deceased mother. Sadly, months later, we found out she was born with a type of renal failure that was irreversible and she had to be put to sleep. RIP beautiful girl xx
MJ
Ringtale Possum
This is MJ, a close friend of Peter Parker (below). MJ weighed 95gr when she arrived, she was found all alone at the bottom of a tree, unfortunately her mother was missing. MJ has been an absolutely delight to the ROWA tribe. Full of curiousity, she is quite the little miss!
PATSY CLINE
Eastern Grey Kangaroo
We don't know much about Patsy, but what we do know about her is that she was a victim of road trauma and lost her mummy. She is very gentle and often likes to hide and cover her eyes so she thinks no one can see her.
SKIPPY
Eastern Grey Kangaroo
This little guy was found out of his pouch. Sometimes the mothers throw the babies if they fear danger or threatened by a predator they actually throw their babies out of their pouches to help protect themselves or older at foot joeys.
BETTY
Bare-nosed Wombat
This cheeky little girl was found wondering on the road by a passer by.
She was covered in ticks, sores and bite wounds.
She is doing beautifully and her good friend is Iggy Bear.
