The three girls were originally looked after by a friend of ours, Maree. She and her hubby Dan moved onto an acreage at Eudlo last year and didn't have an aviary to keep the girls in, so we looked after them until they were ready for release.
We took a drive up to Eudlo today to release them. It was our first visit to Maree and Dan's place and we'll definitely be visiting again. If you've heard of Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo, Maree's place is basically past there and turn left. It's nearly all bush, seventeen acres of it.
Anyway, we picked a couple of trees and out came the ladder. I don't really like heights, despite the fact I have a pilot's license, so I made sure the ladder was securely lashed to the trees before hoisting the possum boxes up.
The picture below shows the second tree that we put the boy up in. It was the lower one, so the photo doesn't look as impressive and I don't look as brave.
Just before we left to come home we noticed that there was some activity in the boxes. The possums had already started exploring their new surroundings. It's always good to see them having a look around like that.
Maree and Dan are both musicians, so I just had to photograph this. It's their Treeano.
