The team was meeting at Waratah Park with a view to being on the road within the hour. They left in a bit of a convoy as they had the van, 2 or 3 private vehicles, 6 veterinarians, 3 rescuers, 3 joeys, a crew from SBS and a trailer/truck loaded with hay and water stations. The Sydney Wildlife volunteers on board were Lynleigh Greifg, Joan Reid and Toni Barnes.
The drive took them approximately 3 - 4 hours and once they arrived in the fire grounds, they set up at Adrina Selles’ property in Wandandian. Some of team stayed for 1 night, some for 2 nights, others for just the day.
With 6 vets on duty, there was plenty of rotations so they wouldn't get too exhausted and they got some time to rest up again.
A film crew from SBS joined them and created this beautiful video you can watch here.
There was also a small gathering of Terrey Hills locals and Sydney Wildlife rescuers congregating along Booralie Rd in Terrey Hills near the shops to wave us off.
