Happy Mother's Day from Blackbutt Reserve. No matter the species, there's nothing a loving mother won't do for her babies/joeys.

The information kiosk will be closed on Mother's day, the Public Reptile Show will be on at 11am.

I’m very fortunate that Blackbutt Reserve is only a 10 minute walk from home. I love walking to the Bat 🦇 Colony. It was lovely to see thecreek flowing after the rain.



As a longtime vegan I don’t believe in keeping animals in cages or enclosures. But I do believe in Animal Rescue Sanctuaries where abused, neglected and animal saved from slaughterhouses have found a place to live out their days. The closest one to us is Where Pigs Fly Farm Rescue Sanctuary located in Laguna, Lower Hunter Valley.
