My favourite view of the morning commute 🎈 We' My favourite view of the morning commute 🎈 We've moved to Melbourne, and I've been doing some locum work in the suburbs. . This is the 6th vet clinic I've worked in while in Australia, and I do find it quite different to the clinical vet work I'm used to in Scotland. . If you've got any questions about locuming as a vet in Aus, please get in touch anytime. Otherwise I'll be posting a bit more info on how to register and work here, so stay tuned!

Sometimes, I pick a locum job because for the clin Sometimes, I pick a locum job because for the clinical experience. But more often, I choose a job for the location! . My most recent locum role was in Queensland, Australia, with some of the worlds most amazing beaches right on our doorstep. . Locuming is such a great way for vets and nurses to travel while they earn! . Have you been a veterinary locum? Where have you worked?
~Port Macquarie Koala Hospital~ What an awesome p ~Port Macquarie Koala Hospital~ What an awesome place! The Port Macquarie koala hospital rescues, rehabilitates and releases koalas from across the state. They have full veterinary facilities on site for treatments, and once animals are recovering they are moved into beautiful outdoor enclosures and gradually released back to the bush. And they take volunteers! Both local and international vet students and animal carers can apply to join them in a number of roles. The hospital was well worth a visit and left me feeling so inspired by their amazing conservation effort!
The Shark and Ray Rescue Centre, on the Port Steph The Shark and Ray Rescue Centre, on the Port Stephens Peninsula, was such an interesting stop on our roadtrip today. . The centre rescues and rehabilitates marine species that are caught up the by-catch of the local fishing industry. . These animals are rehabilitated at the centre, allowed to grow to a safe size, then go on to educational institutes and aquariums around the country to help more Australians learn about marine conservation. . Unfortunately, the animals rescued can never go back to the wild as they become habituated and risk spreading disease back to wild populations.

They say Australia was built on the back of a sheep, and this big guy, nicknamed Rambo is doing some pretty heavy lifting. He was built in 1985 to celebrate the Merino wool industry!
