A WOMBAT spotted stranded on a half-submerged tree stump in a lake near Yarrawonga in Victoria’s Central Murray region was given an impressive rescue last week by a former Hamilton resident and Monivae College student.

Dutch Thunder Wildlife Shelter owner/operator, Kylee Donkers, was called out to help the marsupial off its precarious perch in Lake Mulwala on the Victoria/NSW border and could only speculate as to how it ended up between 500 metres to a kilometre off shore.
