VOLUNTEER PROFILE: Shirley

"Participation in koala return missions created feelings of both sadness and happiness within me. Sadness was seeing Koala Samson leave the hospital. Happiness occurred when we reached his home site at Lighthouse Beach.

Samson seemed to delight in his independence as he carefully selected his tree and began eating leaf. Another successful mission was completed but a new admission would be arriving shortly..."

"One morning I heard Peter call to me that a koala was near the gift shop. Apparently a koala from the nature reserve nearby came to purchase a gift for his sweetheart. I saw the koala standing in front of the gift shop but it was too late for a Kodak moment.

Needless to say, I‘m already looking forward to my 2011 return to the koalas that have made my life richer."
