Beyond the bushfires: A koala doctor's story

Outlook

Available for over a year

Cheyne Flanagan is the clinical director of the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital in New South Wales, Australia. When the bushfires started raging across the country in 2019, her team mounted a huge rescue operation to save as many animals as they could. Zoe Carmichael is no ordinary cake baker. Her creations so far include a horse's head, a pile of toilet paper and a disco ball. Her baking passion began after a particularly painful breakup. What started as a way of distracting herself has now become a mini-baking movement. (Photo: Cheyne Flanagan tending to Paul the Koala. Credit: Nathan Edwards/Getty Images)
