00:00On our way back, Billy tells me to look out for eyes and I begin to realise just how much
00:06other life there is in this wildlife sanctuary.
00:09Over here, that's a common wombat walking through the long grass just there.
00:12They're huge.
00:13Massive.
00:14They're like little tanks, mate.
00:15Gee, look how fat that guy is.
00:17Now, is he also a marsupial?
00:18So, he's a marsupial.
00:19So, he's got a pouch, a backward-facing pouch, so when they're digging, the dirt doesn't
00:24actually fall into the pouch.
00:25So, when you see mums walking around with the joeys, their heads, when they get big
00:29enough, they're hanging in between mum's back legs facing outwards.
00:32Check at this guy.
00:34What is that?
00:35So, he's just...
00:36That's a long-nosed potoroo.
00:37Looks like a tiny little kangaroo.
00:40Yeah, so, he's essentially a macropod.
00:42So, he's got a little pouch and they bounce around on the back legs and they're just this
00:45tiny little...
00:46Almost looks like a rodent.
00:47Yeah, they do.
00:51See this fellow up here?
00:52Yeah, yeah.
00:53So, that's a palm wallaby.
00:54It's a really unique species.
00:55So, they were thought to be extinct and then in the mid-1960s, they found a population
01:00on the Central Coast.
01:01What made them extinct?
01:02Feral cats and foxes just hammered them, absolutely wiped them out.
01:06So, they found this population, they acted really fast and they trapped a bunch, they
01:09got them into captivity and they started breeding them.
01:12So, then we jumped on board with them and we've been breeding them for the past few
01:15years and we've got about 40 of them in the sanctuary these days and year after year,
01:19we're seeing joeys with mums, so it's a really good result.
01:24Just an amazing variety of animals here as a result of just fencing out all of the predators,
01:30all of the foreign brought in animals, all of these feral cats and foxes and everything
01:35thriving as a result.
