A mother and baby Brushtail Possum at our Karakamia Wildlife Sanctuary. Are there any in your backyard? They’re a common sight within Karakamia’s beautiful jarrah forest, but the property also protects many declining or regionally extinct species, providing a snapshot of what the Australian bush might have been like 200 years ago. If you’d like to experience the magic, Karakamia is just one hour from Perth and runs guided walks (bookings essential): www.australianwildlife.org/where-we-work/karak
