Wendy wombat is not at all the same as Harry, since she will never be part of a human neighbourhood or bring delight to so many people, but she is a reminder of the other side of human behaviour. Elizabeth Compston and I met Wendy during a walk the day before Harry was killed. She had been found and nurtured by a couple from Byron Bay after her mum was hit by a car. The couple had made her a pouch out of a thick pillow cover and were feeding her and carrying her everywhere. Outrageously cute as most babies are, she seemed happy enough and was being taken to a wildlife centre yesterday. I'm posting Wendy at Elizabeth's suggestion as a small example of the positive aspects of human nature, the kind that Harry used to enjoy.
