We hope you’re enjoying the school holidays this #WombatWeekend Because #SchoolHolidays = wombat #adventures

Riley #wombat wandered through the #bush, following rumours of hidden #caves. After climbing rocks and pushing past ferns, Riley spotted a dark opening in the hillside. Feeling proud, Riley returned home with a new #adventure achieved. #WombatWednesday Vid:#StickybushArmSanctuary

#EasterWombat waddled through the bush at dawn, leaving painted gum‑nut eggs at every #burrow. When the #wombats woke to find their sparkling surprises, he simply smiled and vanished back into the eucalypt forest, proud of his quiet magic #HappyEaster #WombatWeekend #WomSAT

Boppa the #wombat eased out of his #burrow as dusk settled over the #bush. The cool air carried the scents he knew well - fresh shoots, damp earth, and the quiet stir of nighttime #creatures. #WombatWednesday #WomSAT #WombatConservation Video: #StickybushArmSanctuary

This #WombatWeekend, we celebrate and observe #EarthHour's 20th year 🎉 A global event encouraging individuals and communities to turn off non-essential lights for one hour, promoting awareness about #climatechangeand #sustainablepractices. #WWF #WomSAT earthhour.org.au

A beautiful sight: SBL, approx. 30 years old, alongside her striking black #joey. Seeing long‑lived, healthy #wombats raising the next #generation is a wonderful reminder of the #resilience of these incredible #marsupials. #WombatWednesday #WomSAT. Image: Sue Pridmore.

Happy #WorldWaterDay from the #WomSAT team. Today is a reminder that protecting our #water resources is #essential not only for healthy #ecosystems, but also for the wellbeing of #wombats. Clean, reliable water supports the #landscapes wombats depend on, helping them #thrive.

This #InternationalDayofForests, we spotlight the #BareNosedWombat, that hold a special place in #forest #ecosystems. Let’s #celebrate the connection between #wombats and their forest homes. #WombatWeekend #WomSAT

Thank you for sharing this wonderful #footage of a mum and her #joey in Gisborne, VIC. Moments like these remind us just how special our #wombat populations are and why monitoring their movements and wellbeing matters so much. Video: Nicole Crouch. #WombatWednesday #WomSAT

The Green Wombat A #wombat named #Finnigan woke up bright #green after nibbling a magical #clover. Instead of hiding, he #waddled into town and joined the parade, delighting everyone. From then on, Finnigan became the town’s beloved green mascot every #StPatricksDay. #WomSAT

Happy #InternationalDayofActionforRiversthis #WombatWeekend! Healthy, free-flowing #rivers have always been critical for #people, #wildlife, and the #planet. #BareNosedWombats have even been observed #swimming in #rivers: NSW: youtu.be/WW2lUw7V83c?si… TAS: instagram.com/angesonners/re…

Happy #internationalwomensday 2026! We shine a spotlight on the incredible #women dedicating their lives to combating #mange and protecting #wombats. These inspiring women play an essential role in ensuring these #marsupials continue to thrive for generations to come #WomSAT

Have you ever wondered how a newborn #wombat can make the epic journey into its mother’s #pouch? In this episode, we explore #joey development, the incredible science behind marsupial milk and the #immune system. #WombatWednesday #WombatProtectionSociety facebook.com/share/1BXvvFW9…

Happy #WorldWildlifeDay from team #WomSAT. Celebrating the incredible #species we work to #protect every day – our incredible #wombats and their #habitat!

🦠 Wombats & H5 Bird Flu While wombats aren’t the primary species affected, disease can move unpredictably through stressed ecosystems. H5 bird flu has not been detected in Aus, but we must ‘avoid, record & report’ any unusual signs of sick/dead wildlife, including wombats.

🐾 Big win for wombat carers in NSW! After a major review revealed burnout, funding gaps and limited vet access, the NSW government has announced a $9 million boost for wildlife rescue, a huge step forward for the people who care for injured and orphaned wombats💚

Two wombats met at their favourite clearing, where one placed a single rose at the other’s paws. They touched noses, blushing beneath the gum trees, and spent the night waddling side by side. Sending warm, fuzzy wishes this #ValentinesDay from team #WomSAT🌹Image: Blaire Vallin

Happy #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience! Today we’re celebrating the incredible #women driving progress in #wombatconservation. Their dedication and expertise strengthen the fight against #mange, #roadkill, and #habitatdestruction. #WombatWednesday #WomSAT #STEM
