Staff and volunteers at the Cooberrie Park Wildlife Sanctuary at Yeppoon in central Queensland, have rescued more than 150 injured and orphaned wildlife animals in the midst of recent bushfires.

Ranger Kieron Smedley, the sanctuary spokesperson said they had a Noah’s ark-style bus on site to evacuate the animals from the natural disaster.

As the animals have been away from the sanctuary for 48 hours, Mr. Smedley said the park is planning to get them back soon to avoid stress on them under the relocation.
