'Every resident in Potato Point has a story to tell about their most unusual
neighbours.
The little town on the NSW south coast, population 159, is home to one of the
only thriving emu colonies on the Australian east coast.
Local WIRES volunteer Rachel McInnes didn't know Potato Point, 8 kilometres
east of Bodalla, had emus when she moved to the area 18 years ago.
"It's a joy to go out your back or front door and see a couple of emus walking
down the street," she says.
"It's hilarious when you look down on the beach and think: 'What's that? Is
that a person? No, it's an emu.'
"That's just more icing on the cake of living in such a beautiful area."'
Via Muse, who wrote "It’s always great to read a heartwarming conservation
story!"
