Wallaby Wanted

 
KAMLOOPS, BC- Australian developer Paul Farrell has offered up a $1000 Australian
dollar reward for the safe capture and return of the infamous wallaby currently wandering
throughout the hills of Kamloops.
 
Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Farrell currently is building Kookaburra Lodge,the
newest development at Sun Peaks Resort, where both he and other Australian owners are
genuinely concerned about the misplaced animal.
 
Worried that the wallaby may not survive the local wilderness, Farrell would like to see
the animal returned to its natural habitat alive and well.
 
“Its internal compass must be completely screwed up,” says Farrell, “We’re glad its
summer, but we still want to deliver it from whatever awful forest creatures are out
there.”  
 
Spotted by Sahali residents late Wednesday evening, RCMP responded to complaints of
the lost wallaby roaming city streets. Unsuccessfully captured, the whereabouts of the
former pet is still unknown.
 
To claim the reward, contact Paul Farrell at 319-0699 and the Kamloops SPCA at 376-
7722. $1000 AUD is approximately $971 CAD.
Designed and engineered in Australia with support from local engineers, construction of
Kookaburra Lodge began in February and is the vision of the Farrell family, active
members of the Sun Peaks community.
