Roll up to the Pine Rivers Show this weekend. It's been very difficult for me, since my dad passed..... and last night I placed third, in 2 images which has helped my confidence. Thank you for your continued support in my dream and passion for photography.

Okay, one of my favourite parks and it's Tax time- so do you have $5 to donate... Click the links and share if you can't support xoxo

🙏 URGENT FUNDS NEEDED – PLEASE SAVE OUR PARK AND MARINE WILDLIFE –PLEASE SHARE! 💙

We held off as long as we could. But today, we launched a National fundraising appeal to save our beloved Dolphin Marine Conservation Park and Marine Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation facility in Coffs Harbour.

If we don't raise the funds, we may have to close.

It's too sad for words. We think about the thousands of sick, injured and orphaned marine wildlife we have saved over the past 52 years. Often, we were their last resort, but our team answered the calls for help and nursed them back to health. This year alone, we rescued 210 seabirds, 105 sea turtles and three seals! Shutting our marine wildlife rescue and rehab service and facility would be devastating.

Humans and our pollution are the greatest dangers to marine wildlife. They need us to advocate and help them more than ever. Today, more than ever, we need your help.

The good news is that if we raise enough money, we can restructure, stay open, and continue caring for our animals. Without funding, we will most likely have to close.

Closing would be heartbreaking. Our park is a sanctuary for marine animals where visitors can safely experience these beautiful creatures closer than anywhere else in Australia.

We urge you to chip into our fundraiser here: 👇
https://dolphin-marine-conservation.giveeasy.org/help-save-our-park-and-marine-wildlife

We've worked tirelessly for marine conservation for over 52 years and wouldn't have it any other way. But bushfires, floods, the pandemic, and more floods have taken their toll. Now, with the high cost of living pressures, fewer people have visited the park, so our cash flow has reduced, and our reserves have dried up. We can't catch a break!

What about the animals? If we close, our marine animals must be re-homed far away from the Coffs Coast, including one-year-old Miki and 4-year-old Hugo, two adorable Australian sea lion pups who have won everyone's hearts. Saying goodbye would be heart-wrenching.

And what about the children? Kids get so much joy from our marine wildlife park. Generations of families have visited us and share precious memories of seeing marine mammals up close. During the school holidays and on weekends, the clapping, the laughter, the oohs and aahs. The smiles on their faces are priceless. We love inspiring the next generation of marine scientists. We would miss it all, and closing the park would crush the dreams of many children who want to visit.

We must raise $1,000,000 within the next three weeks to save our park and the marine wildlife we dearly love. To get back on our feet, pay the bills, care for the animals and allow us breathing space to forge ahead with our vision to make Coffs Harbour the destination and centre for marine conservation excellence.

We can't stress how serious this is. Without the funds, we may have to close.

$5 from each of you would greatly help us. For just the cost of a cup of coffee, you will help save our precious marine conservation park and marine wildlife.

Our team have poured their lives into our park, and we want to rescue it. This appeal is our SOS.

Please donate now: https://dolphin-marine-conservation.giveeasy.org/help-save-our-park-and-marine-wildlife

And, please, please share this far and wide. We need the whole world to help us. We have to survive for marine wildlife. 🐢 Thank you. 🙏

And if you've already donated or shown your support, THANK YOU 👏 🤗 💙

Anyone can book my package but my focus is on mother's that Don't feel their bump is worthy, and You are!

Supermarket, Facebook promotions and more, so how do you make sure it doesn't happen to you?
There are so many talented photographers in your area!
1. Ask for qualifications (if that makes you feel better) I only have a bare cert 3 from high school, but years of work and reviews.
2. Ask if they have a registered business, keeping in mind that photographers that use their own names don't not have to register.
3. Make sure you are clear about the package deal you are getting, the rights to your images, digital or hard copies.
4. Look through their work, look through the reviews
5. If you get a bad feeling, walk away!
6. Competitions are usually, 1 free "this" and Scam you for $3000 later. Each print is $175 or this $1000 package. The hope is you will look at your photos and love them and need to buy them.

All our images are provided to you, and you are welcome to purchase art and canvas as you need through third party companies like Snapfish and officeworks!

ALL our charity event winners are given a Full free photo session with No hidden fees, chargers or extra to purchase. Word of mouth is valid marketing.
