*Avanti* Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I saw this on the news tonight. This dear old girl was rescued from a mine shaft somewhere near Ballarat today. I hope the owners have been found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinabean Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Dear old girl. Loved her waggy tail when she could see people coming down to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mita Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 The tactful comment that she was fortunate to be carrying a few extra pounds....for 'inner' sustenance. :) Bless the rescue blokes. Those old mine shafts sure are lethal. A man pointed to another one, so deep that the lab wouldn't have survived if she'd fallen there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Sheer coincidence! Googling to see if any update on the lab finding her owner. Up came a video from last year, where Ballarat university students rescued a koala that'd fallen down a deep mine shaft. They lowered a long branch down....for the koala to climb out. One heart-stopping moment, tho'... http://video.news.com.au/2279895304/Koala-stuck-in-a-mine-shaft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving my Oldies Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 How smart was that Koala, though? Didn't keep climbing the second time, but jumped onto land asap and made off to another tree. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pebbles Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Those open shafts can be deadly. Friends Gordon Setter fell down one in the Latrobe Valley, half full of water and was drowned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
