Members of Pakenham Probus recently visited Locky’s Legacy Wildlife Animal Shelter in Pakenham.
Owner Lyndel Chalmers maintains the property as a shelter and a conservation area, with wildlife on the property including kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, echidna and lyrebirds.
The Probians enjoyed their morning there, with those interested encouraged to hold a wombat and seeing a ‘pinky’ (baby) wombat following an informative talk from Don Smith.
Don was also accompanied by a small duck, who spent all her time either on his shoulder or following him around, to the amusement of the visitors.
The Probus Club of Pakenham meets on the first Thursday of the month at the Cardinia Club in Racecourse Road.
To find out more about the group or to make an enquiry about becoming a member, contact secretary Pat Sherwell on secretary.pakprobusinc@gmail.com or 0459 977 400.
