Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

And, um, yeah, it was a bit of a hike from where I was living in Brisbane at the time, and wasn't, uh, very practical.

So eventually I got a role at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary on the Gold Coast, which was a lot closer to home.

And I just took, yeah, just the first job that they had, which was, like, uh, they used to do tours at nighttime.

So we'd take tour groups through at night, which was really fun.

You're about to meet one of the world's most adorable animals, the quokka.

These two are the first to ever call the Gold Coast home and the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is the only place you can see them.

Yes, starting today, visitors have the chance to visit Quokka Corner where they can take a selfie and even have the chance to name the two happy marsupials as well.

Joining us now is mammal supervisor Alice Rosa.

Tell us a bit about your new Quokkas.

What are they like?

Yeah, so we're really excited here at Grumman over the holidays and we've got our beautiful little quokkas here who have arrived and they're here to show off to everybody.

So they're native to WA.
