Joeys released after SA bushfires

Six joeys have been released after three months of intensive veterinary treatment after the major bushfire in the Adelaide Hills in January.

The young kangaroos suffered severe burns, smoke inhalation, dehydration and malnutrition in the fires and arrived at the Adelaide Zoo vet centre in dire condition.

Vet centre manager Di Hakof says the joeys received round-the-clock care and have now been released onto private land.

"It was our goal to give these little fighters a second chance at life and we're over the moon to see six released," she said.
