Pinki a gentle wombat dec 2016- nov 2018
Pinki Dec 2016 soft released November 2018
September 2026 update.
Pinki, who arrived at Rocklily in 2016 weighing just 3kg, was always the shyest of her nursery group. Her trouble-free soft release in 2018 was a textbook success; she adjusted to the wild immediately, and while we rarely seen in person by Dave, catching her on our wildlife cameras is always a rare treat.
Today, at 10 years old, she is a true survivor—having braved the devastating 2019/20 bushfires
Pinki Rescued in December 2016 at south Goulburn only 1.2kg by Erin, Pinki stayed with Erin and buddied up with Chilli till she was 5kg then thy both came to Rocklily and were also buddied up with Vivian, bushy and Jess to become our crazy nursery Rumble. Pinki is miss independent, first to not want her bottle and more often doing her own thing. Pinki is growing into a lovely wombat.
Pinki Started her release in may 2018 at Denis and Daves place in the perment release pen at their property, 8 kms futher into the national park/water catchment a wonderfull place no roads, and spring fed dams. and is doing really well and we continue to monitor burrows in the area for her. Pinki has released well as most girls seem to do with her fining her way in the wild quite quicklye . She knows where to come back to for help if things get tough for her
