Bonorong Wildlife Centre

Bonorong Wildlife Centre are now hitting the streets in a new breed of Mini, the new Mini Clubman which will be known as the Wombatmobile.

Stunningly designed this funky Mini will be used to help transport injured wildlife to veterinary centres in the Hobart region and raise awareness about the conservation needs of Tasmania's native animals.

This partnership between Hobart Mini Garage and Bonorong Wildlife Centre will help expand the services available to native animals whilst presenting the practical advantages of this versatile little car, says Barry Lack, Manager Hobart Mini Garage.

The Mini Clubman will greatly assist the work of a network of volunteers transporting injured animals for veterinary treatment or transfer to volunteer carers Dr Sally Bryant, Director of Conservation at Bonorong Wildlife Centre said.

The growing problems caused by roadkill, loss of habitat, people and pets etc. mean that so many animals especially marsupial pouch young are left without any hope of survival or eventual release back to the wild. Threatened species like quoll, bandicoot and many birds or prey can now get more timely assistance.

The Mini Clubman is smart and enviro-friendly, designed to minimize fuel consumption and to maximize driving comfort and carrying capacity and it's great fun to drive....

A perfect conservation partnership said Barry.
