In 2009, Belinda Gayle from Chum Creek managed to save a few animals including her goldfish as bush-fires attacked and burnt her animal shelter to the ground. In her care was a three-month-old female Eastern Grey Kangaroo which couldn't be saved. 11 years on, Australia is again on fire, and early estimates believe over a billion of our wildlife have died as a result of the ongoing inferno.
