Clermont's Wombat Festival saves endangered species

The Wombat Festival in Clermont, Queensland is a free family market day raising funds for the critically endangered Northern Hairy Nose Wombat. The species nearly became extinct in the 1980s with only 30 individuals remaining, but conservation efforts have increased their population to approximately 400. The festival features wombat-themed art, mini wombat races using guinea pigs, and various market stalls to support ongoing conservation initiatives.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
