Native Animal Rescue: Broome

19/10/2026

A little over a week ago, this young Silver Gull came in very unwell with Botulism. The bird was unable to stand or fly and was given supportive care with subcut fluids and good food. Released today and couldnt wait to wash the human smell away in the ocean. Thank you to Annie Scanlon for bringing the bird in for care.

A big shout out to our supporters at Animal Rescue Craft Guild (ARC). We've had a busy year with wildlife rehabilitation, particularly with possum joeys. We put in a request for some extra possum palaces and the ARC Team came through with some much needed replacements. Thank you ARC, we are most grateful for your continued support.

Monty (our juvenile Barking Owl) must have had a really hard night 🤔

With 9 marine turtles currently in care, we received a call from Jan and Rainer at Coconut Wells this morning advising that 4 large turtles were stranded on the beach near the entrance to Willie Creek, near Broome.

With an outgoing tide the turtles would be high and dry for approximately 4 hours before the incoming tide would reach them. The weather forecast was sunny and temperature of 30 degrees.

The turtles were large Loggerhead turtles weighing between 35 to 45 kilos. We were able to contact Rob Banfield and his team at Willie Creek Pearl farm who responded on our behalf. Fortunately they located the turtles and carried them to the water’s edge where they swam off safely into deeper water.

Thanks to Jan and Rainer for calling it in, and Rob and his team for safely getting all 4 turtles back to the ocean.

A great team building exercise

It’s amazing what can come out of a social chat with the local OIC of Police, Senior Sergeant Blair Smith.
I was chatting about our turtle centre and explaining about a small problem with moving a rather large circular fibreglass pond into a new position at the centre. Solution offered was a team building exercise with a number of Off duty Police.
On Thursday nine Off duty officers arrived at the turtle centre and with a well thought out solution using pipe rollers and muscle moved the tank into its new home with little effort and no injuries.
Great job, well done and the assistance was very much appreciated.
