A refuge for endangered bridled nail tail wallaby near Rockhampton is seeking donations from the region to help its wish list become a reality.

Project Kial was born from Tina Janssen and her partner Peter Brooks’ passion for the welfare of the species.

Using their own money, the couple established a refuge on their property 'Kial', near Marlborough.

There they work with the support from Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, CQU School of Chemical and Biomedical Sciences, the Work for the Dole program and a variety of overseas volunteers, who come and stay for varying lengths of time.

The numbers of bridled nail tails (Onychogalea fraenata), are down to only a little over 100, all in the Central Queensland area. About 70 of those are to be found on 'Kial'.

Recently, Tina’s dream of having a stainless steel examination table was made a reality with a donation from Adnought Sheet Metal Fabrication at Parkhurst. They also received large cooking pots, sleeping bags and blankets donated by CQU Community Program visitors.

"I am overwhelmed by people's generosity.".
