Adelaide Koala and Wildlife Hospital

Anna Heusler (the cyclist who's instagram account when viral after she posted a pic of a koala climbing up her bike for a drink of water) decided that she would like to spread the donations that she received. We had pledged the funds we raised towards her campaign at Adelaide Koala Rescue. In the last few weeks Anna has been talking with 4 groups of koala and wildlife centres in Adelaide and decided it was best to spread the huge amount she raised (Approx A$60,000 - including A$7900 from the Serk Community) between all 4 groups and as such suggested we donate directly to Adelaide Koala and Wildlife Hospital.
