Koala mini fair

The Raymond Island Koala & Wildlife Shelter held its annual mini Fair on December the 28th 2014.

The day was a huge success with $4100 raised in total. The money  will go to medical expenses and towards a new Fly Proof enclosure.
Many people attended tourists, visitors and locals. The day was warm and sunny just perfect.
