The deep interactions between humans and other creatures are captured as we spend some time at a wombat rehabilitation centre and meet the wombats themselves, hear about how a tiny kangaroo joey helped heal a family and community after unimaginable loss, and make the acquaintance of a very unusual bird for this part of the world – a southern giant petrel. We hear from:

Lyn Obern, wombat carer: Mudsey’s rescue and happy ending, June LePla OAM: Dodo’s Story. Dorothy Henderson: Why we don’t have Mondays anymore.
