Lana Allcroft

Chasing geckos across the ceiling and keeping mice in the freezer are two of 
the occupational hazards for voluntary wildlife carers like Townsville’s Lana 
Allcroft. 
The geckos and the mice are part of the dietary requirements of “Summer” the 
Blue Winged Kookaburra, which has been in Lana’s care since being found 
abandoned and completely helpless, when it was just a few centimetres long with its 
eyes still closed.

North Queensland Wildlife Carers is always on the lookout for more volunteers 
and Lana says taking part in the groups’ basic training course is a great way 
for young and old alike to get involved.
