Launch of "One Potoroo: A Story of Survival"
Join Gilbert's Potoroo Action Group, Paperbark Merchants and Dr Tony Friend, DBCA Research Associate for the launch of "One Potoroo: A Story of Survival" by Penny Jaye. The book is for young children and is delightfully illustrated by Alicia Rogerson. It tells the story of Gilbert's Potoroo, the world's rarest marsupial, and was inspired by the real life events surrounding the rescue of a potoroo after a catastrophic bushfire destroys its home.
The event will include a reading of the book by Billie-Jo Whitbread from Paperbark Merchants followed by an informal discussion with Dr Tony Friend about his personal experience of the 2015 fire at Two Peoples Bay and its aftermath, including the rescue of suriviving potoroos.
Light morning tea refreshments will be provided.
