Sophie Sweet's Someplace When...

KANGAROO ISLAND, SOUTH AUSTRALIA Sophie was one of the first to purchase our map of Kangaroo Island that we drew to raise funds for the bushfires that tore through the beautiful South Australian island back in January. For most of us around the world we watched on with fear and sadness, feeling helpless to do anything but raise the little money we could. Sophie was on the Island for a month as part of her 6th year veterinary placement at the Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park in Parndana at the time. She was part of a team that was fundamental to the survival and rehabilitation of the Island’s koalas and other affected wildlife. Sophie’s family also has a house on the Island, so to say this was a distressing time would be an understatement. https://someplacewhen.com.au/

I still remember the day I drew this map. I closed my shop as soon as I heard about the fires to get started, knowing it was the only way I could raise some much needed funds. As I passed my pencil over every town, farm, business and conservation park that could have been affected, I was heartbroken. My thoughts were and are with those who fought and who are recovering. https://someplacewhen.com.au/
