How you can help with
bushfires in South Australia
W
ith the CFS and the Kangaroo Island Stall now respectfully declining the
donations of clothes and goods due to logistical operations. To follow
are a number of different causes you may like to consider to support those
affected from the recent bushfires. There are, of course, many other causes you
may wish to support, these are simply a few suggestions that may appeal to
you.
The SA Bushfire Appeal
The South Australian government has launched the SA Bushfire Appeal to
raise funds for people directly affected by bushfires in Cudlee Creek and on
“
Kangaroo Island. Every dollar goes to people in need and the South Australian
government absorbs all administration costs. Every donation, big or small, can
make a difference to those mostly affected by these tragedies.

We lead by example,
treating all in our
community with
genuine respect and
equity.

The Kangaroo Island Mayors Bushfire Appeal Fund
The money raised through the Kangaroo Island Mayors Bushfire appeal will
go directly into the hands of islanders that need it most. This will help those
directly impacted by the devastation caused by the fires and will help them
face each new day with financial assistance to rebuild their lives, homes and
businesses. This is the official donation appeal for Kangaroo Island.

Hanson Bay Wildlife And Koala Sanctuary
Kangaroo Island's beloved Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary was sadly decimated
by the bushfires. The 5,000 acre property was home to thousands of native
species including the incredible population of koalas that were free to roam
wild on the property. The Koala Walk alone which was 200 metres long was
home to 100 koalas including newborn joeys. Their home, habitat and all their
infrastructure has gone so their Go Fund Me page has been set up to help
rebuild and regenerate the land so when the koalas that are being cared for at
the Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park (see below) are ready to be released into the
wild, they have a home to return to.

Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park Fund
The Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park fund has been set up to care for the
significant number of koalas and other native species that have been injured in
the Kangaroo Island fires. The park has been treating new koalas as they come
in each day with pain relief, antibiotics as well as building new infrastructure to
provide a new home for the wild animals as they are rehabilitated before they
can be released back into the wild.
