Kangaroos, wrapped in pink and blue bandages, have filled the paddock behind the clinic, since brush fires swept through the town of Yarloop and scorched 76,000 acres in early January.
The fast moving blazes struck the town with only 25 minutes warning. Hundreds of people were forced to flee so quickly, they had to leave pets and livestock behind.
Genuine heroes, Dr. Ronald Schneider and Dr Rebecca Flegg have traveled to farms and ranches around the region, taking food to surviving livestock and rounding up strays that needed medical attention.

Communities across the region have rallied to donate food for the animals, and the clinic has a stockpile of everything from dog food to cattle feed, which they are offering free of charge to anyone returning to Yarloop.
