HAVING dedicated my whole life to wildlife and the environment, I now find myself back in my home country of Australia, studying and looking after our own incredible unique, wildlife species.

In recent times, my daughter Samara and I had found Laos home, where we cared for the beautiful and majestic endangered elephants.

Now, although not in my home town of the Sunshine Coast, I am based in northern Queensland, near the Atherton Tablelands, to help Harry Kunz and the Eagles Nest Wildlife Hospital move forward to their next stages. You may have heard of Harry, who is a pioneer in Australia in wildlife care and has built his own wildlife hospital and sanctuary where he rescues, rehabilitates and releases sick, injured or orphaned wildlife. Thousands of animals have come through the doors here, many of which have been released.

However, there are a few unreleasable animals, including five amazing wedge-tailed eagles that can also live out the rest of their days here in peace.

For years, Harry has been looking for someone to continue his legacy as he cannot continue to do all that is required any more.

More recently his plight to find new managers also went international through different media outlets, which resulted in thousands of applicants.

I heard about Harry's plight in October, along with the rest of the world, and after venturing up here to volunteer for a week, I found the need for help was more urgent.

Within two weeks, I was back as interim manager to get things in order and run the hospital, take control of the beautiful overgrown gardens and lawns, continue with rescues and rehabilitation of wildlife, and oversee a steady stream of helpful international volunteers.

We have had to cull the applicants to less than 20, and will be putting them through their paces towards the end of July to find the right management team.

It certainly is an interesting time to be here at Eagles Nest as it transitions to a new era.

For Harry, it's all about the fight to advocate for wildlife, so I have been writing articles and organising media releases.

I'm also helping him look into his next adventure in regards to building a dingo sanctuary to help the dingoes which are sadly one of our misunderstood vital apex predators.

Then, as I continue to progress alongside my own company Earth FX International, I hope to help oversee the new managers under Harry's trust, continue my passion of filming documentaries to educate the public about conservation and the importance of our world, continue to move forward in building wildlife hospitals, wildlife sanctuaries, research and education centres internationally, and keep up my study.

There is never a dull moment. Each day is always different, and even with the ups and downs, I wouldn't have it any other way.
