Wildlife carer Margit
Cianelli with Nelson, one
of four tree kangaroos
currently in her care at her
personal sanctuary on the
Atherton Tableland.

This northern barred frog, detected on one of Alan
Gillanders’ night-time wildlife tours at Mount Hypipamee NP,
is camouflaged perfectly to blend in with the decaying leaf
litter where it lives on the rainforest floor.


Mother and son
Kimberley (at left) and
Monty in the forest at
Lumholtz Lodge, which
Margit runs with her sister
Karin Semmler. Both women
are trained zookeepers.
