A Day in the Life of a Volunteer at Mandurah Wildlife Centre
There’s a certain kind of person who volunteers at Mandurah Wildlife. They’re not in it for the glory, the social media content, or the chance to bottle-feed a baby kangaroo—though, yes, sometimes that does happen (and it’s as heart-melting as you imagine). The community here is built on that kind of quiet magic. It’s a wild mix of personalities—nurturers, problem-solvers, deep-thinkers, practical geniuses—and somehow, it works.
