Six-month-old Caroline is one of the newest additions to Our Haven Wildlife Shelter in Gippsland.

The sanctuary is the home of Theresa and Tony Matthews. They care for more than 30 joeys.


Caroline was taken in after she was found next to her mother, who had been killed by a car.


According to the sanctuary, she needs to be bottle-fed every four hours until she is 18 months old.
