Many people aren't aware that Charles and Motee Rogers were well known Musicians, as well as generous benefactors of the Highfields Reserve named in their memory.

Lovely to see this award in their hour still continuing today.

Koala “Kylie” was not keen on being rescued after she ran through a busy petrol station on sunday morning! She then crossed a busy road and took refuge in a street tree on a very busy corner Thankfully she eventually complied and we got her to safety.

Thanks to those who offered help especially Greg from Parks and Wildlife Twmba and the lovely Petr for staying with the koala to make sure she was safe while we arrived! This one little feisty koala took 3 of us to get her down!
