It's amazing how our line of work can take us anywhere 🌎
Dr Alana has spent a few weeks with the University of Melbourne, providing veterinary health care and desexing to indigenous community pets in regions of Arnhem Land, Northern Territory. 🐕 🐈
Arnhem Land is a beautiful region of the north east of the NT, with some remote communities needing a charter plane to fly in, where the weather has been humid and often 32°C! 🌞
Outback indigenous communities sadly don't have readily available access to veterinary services, and such vet visits may happen once or twice a year, if lucky.
Alana has spent her time with locals, their pets, including dogs, cats, the occasional pig and the wonderful veterinary team. And like any vet a side of nature spotting of crocs, snakes, cane toads, geckos, wild horses, buffalo and beautiful brolgas 🐊
