💔 YOUR SWIMMING POOL COULD BE A DEATH TRAP FOR KOALAS. 🐨

This is Pixel's story. And it's one we desperately wish had a different ending.

Pixel was just a young joey when he was rescued with severe conjunctivitis. He received treatment, went into the loving care of a wildlife carer, and eventually graduated to koala kindergarten at Moggill.

After so much care, dedication and hard work, Pixel was finally released back into the wild. ❤️

Like many young male koalas, Pixel was dispersing, exploring unfamiliar territory in search of his own home range.

Sadly, his journey led him into a backyard swimming pool.

We believe Pixel fell in sometime last night. The homeowner found him this morning, still alive.

We rushed to help and transported him to the RSPCA Wildlife Hospital. Tragically, despite everyone's efforts, Pixel's condition was too severe, and he had to be euthanised.

💔 After everything he had overcome, this is how his story ended.

Pixel touched so many lives. So many people worked to give this little boy a second chance. To lose him this way is absolutely heartbreaking.

🐨 POOL OWNERS — PLEASE READ THIS!

Koalas CAN swim, but they often CAN'T climb out of swimming pools. Smooth, slippery walls can trap them until they become exhausted.

✅ Install a thick, securely anchored escape rope with a float in the water.

✅ Provide a sturdy, non-slip wildlife escape ramp.

✅ Consider koala-proof fencing or a properly secured pool cover.

✅ Check your pool every morning.

✅ If you find a koala in your pool, call wildlife rescue immediately. Even if it gets out, it needs urgent assessment.

A simple escape route could save a life.

We share Pixel's story not to blame anyone, but to prevent another tragedy.

Pixel survived illness, rehabilitation and made it back to the wild.

He deserved to grow old there. 💔

Please, if you own a swimming pool, make sure wildlife has a way out.

🐨 For Pixel, and for the next koala that might not be so lucky.

💚 PLEASE SHARE. IT COULD SAVE A LIFE.

🚨 URGENT — PLEASE CHECK YOUR YARDS, ALEXANDRA HILLS 🚨

Further to our last post, vets have confirmed that this female koala has a joey.

We now know she wasn't hit by a car just once — she was hit twice.

Once a couple of days ago, and again this morning.

There is a very real possibility her joey was separated from her during either of these impacts, and may still be somewhere in the area.

We urgently need residents in and around 280 Finucane Road, Alexandra Hills to check your yards, trees, fences and anywhere a small joey could be hiding.

👀 If you see a joey alone — on the ground, low in a tree, or anywhere without mum — please call immediately.

📞 24/7 — 0435 504 222

Mum is now safely at the wildlife hospital. We need to find her baby.

🙏 Please share this with anyone living around Finucane Road and surrounding streets.

HIT A KOALA? CALL SOMEONE.

This girl was lucky.

A keen-eyed member of the public saw her safely cross Finucane Road and disappear into a nearby yard.

They could have thought, she crossed the road, she’s fine.

Instead, they recognised it as a red flag and called a wildlife rescue service.

And thank goodness they did.

She had been hit by a car.

Not that morning. Sometime in the 24 hours before that call.

She had survived the impact.
She had kept moving.
She could still cross a road.

She was not OK.

She is now where she needs to be — in the care of a wildlife hospital.

Please, if you hit a koala, make the call.

Don’t decide they’re OK because they ran off, climbed a tree or disappeared into the bush.

You wouldn’t hit a person with your car, watch them get back up and drive away without calling for help.

Why would you do it to a koala?

And this doesn't just apply to koalas. If you hit any wildlife, please call a wildlife rescue service.

One phone call could be the difference between an animal suffering unseen and getting the help it desperately needs.

Hit a koala? Stop safely. Make the call. Every time.

Cute? No. Heartbreaking.💔

At first glance, this looks like an adorable photo — a koala curled up asleep on the arm of a patio chair.

But this image paints a much bigger picture of how we are failing one of Australia’s most iconic endangered species.

This is a healthy female koala trying to disperse and find her place. With fragmented habitat, poor wildlife corridors and increasing development, she has nowhere to go but through our backyards, across our roads and between the spaces we have built around what remains of her habitat.

Tired and hungry, she eventually found somewhere she felt safe enough to stop and sleep — on someone’s patio chair.

She is running the gauntlet.

This time, she found a chair.

Next time, it could be the jaws of a dog. An unfenced pool. A busy road.

We love seeing koalas in the wild. Residents stop and smile when they see one. Tourists travel here hoping to see them. They bring so much joy simply by still existing among us.

But if we want that to continue, we need to start thinking differently about how we coexist with them.

Better wildlife corridors. Smarter development. Safer roads. Wildlife-friendly fencing. Pool escape options. Responsible pet ownership. And backyards that allow wildlife to move safely through the landscape.

Coexistence cannot just be something we talk about. It has to be something we build into the places we live.

Please share this.

Not because the photos are cute.

Because what it represents is heartbreaking.
