It seems we have hit the jackpot with good neighbours🏡

Yesterday our neighbour Kim came over with his skid steer and graded the area for the new aviary precint and we are now ready to mark out the aviary bases, gardens & pathways. Tomorrow the first lot of border rocks is scheduled to be delivered and in good Beaufort fashion, the rain is here right when work is to be done... We are happy though, as the dam is filling and and there's plenty of food for the wildlife that relies on this land for survival.

Behind every community organisation are local businesses quietly making a difference through their generosity, encouragement and willingness to lend a hand.

We encourage everyone to show these businesses the same support they so generously give to others.

Whether it's choosing to shop local, recommending their services or simply spreading the word, it all helps.

It takes a village to build something special, and we're incredibly grateful for ours!💚🦜

🌿🦜 Sanctuary Update🐾💚

Hello everyone!

We thought it was time to share an update on how things are progressing here at Musical Gully Wings & Wildlife Sanctuary.

As we've been setting everything up, we've encountered a few setbacks. As much as we want and need the rain, it has turned the area we'd planned to build our permanent aviaries into a complete mud pit! Unfortunately, it's just too wet for machinery and construction to begin safely, although we have managed to redirect the drainage for now.

Another challenge has been the clay we had planned to dig out of the dam for the project. With all the rain, it's no longer accessible. The silver lining? The frogs certainly seem to be enjoying it—they've been putting on quite the chorus down there! 🐸

Even more exciting, we've had some wild ducks start visiting the dam (aka the puddle). Seeing wildlife naturally discovering the property is incredibly rewarding and reminds us why we're creating this sanctuary in the first place. We can't wait to see what other native visitors decide to call Musical Gully home. 🦆💚

We're also excited to share that our new property is now registered with the Humane World for Animals Wildlife Land Trust and the Trust for Nature Wildlife Land Trust.
This is an important milestone in protecting the habitat on our property and helping ensure it remains a safe haven for wildlife well into the future.

To top it all off, we've got a full week of rain ahead, so it looks like the mud is here to stay for a little while longer! While it may slow construction, we're making the most of it and continuing with all the jobs we can do in the meantime.

We're currently setting up temporary aviaries to ensure the birds in our care have safe, secure and comfortable accommodation while we wait for the ground to dry out enough to build their permanent homes.

We're also still in the process of moving our birds from our old property, which settles on 3rd July. There's still plenty to do, we have around 20 parrots, along with our chickens and ducks yet to be relocated. It's a big job, and we're taking every step to make each move as calm and safe as possible for all of our feathered residents.

To be completely honest, we're feeling the pressure at the moment. Between the weather, setting up temporary aviaries, preparing the new property and moving the birds before settlement, it's been a challenging few weeks. But we know it will all be worth it, and we're keeping our eyes on the bigger picture.

A huge thank you to everyone who has been helping us with the move. Whether you've given your time, equipment, trailers, encouragement or practical support, we are so incredibly grateful. We simply couldn't do this without our amazing family, friends and supporters.

We can't wait to share more updates with you as this dream continues to grow.

With gratitude,

Jasmine & The Musical Gully Wings & Wildlife Sanctuary Team💚🦜🐾

💚 Sponsor Spotlight - Alans Home Maintenance Service 💚

This sponsor post is a little more personal than most because Alan isn’t just supporting the sanctuary… he’s my dad.

Dad and I will work together building much of the sanctuary infrastructure and enclosures ourselves. He’ll be donating a substantial amount of time, labour, skills, tools, and patience to help make this dream a reality.

Over the years he’s taught me many of the practical skills that will allow me to coordinate and physically help bring a project like this to life. A lot of what I know about problem solving, working with my hands, and just getting stuck into things came from working alongside him.

I guess when you raise a daughter who’s a bit of a free thinker, and the type to turn “helping a few animals” into building an entire sanctuary… this is the kind of thing you end up dealing with 😅

It’s probably not always easy getting phone calls that start with:
“Dad… I just need help with a couple of things.”

Because historically “a couple of things” has somehow turned into renovating multiple houses… and now building a sanctuary.

He may begrudgingly help at times… but he still shows up anyway, and this sanctuary genuinely would not be possible without that support.

Thanks Dad 💚

🌿 We’re proud to welcome another local supporter to the sanctuary journey 🌿

A huge thank you to Shane from Pyrenees Real Estate for officially coming on board as a sponsor of Musical Gully Wings & Wildlife Sanctuary Inc.

Just over 3 years ago, before we made the move from Melbourne to Beaufort, I first reached out to Shane to share my plans for the sanctuary and our search for the right property to make it all possible.

It was a long wait, plenty of planning, and a lot of hard work along the way… but we finally found the perfect place to begin building the sanctuary.

Support from local businesses like this means the world to us as we begin bringing the sanctuary to life.

We’re incredibly grateful to have Shane from Pyrenees Real Estate supporting what we’re building for Beaufort & its surrounding communities. 💚🐦🦘
