Wallaby gone walkabout in Gortin

A WALLABY is currently on the loose near the Glenpark Estate after escaping a temporary enclosure at the hotel’s open farm at the weekend. 

Two wallaby’s were delivered to the estate that were meant to be part of an exhibit at an open farm on the grounds of the hotel.

One of the animals was able to escape after hopping out of an enclosure with a five-foot fence that was used to house wallaby’s in the past.

The wallaby was last spotted a quarter of a mile from the estate on the Gortin Road going towards Omagh. The owner of the animal has said that if you spot the wallaby while out and about it is safe, but do not approach the small marsupial in case it becomes startled and runs away.

Richard Beattie, who owns the Glenpark Estate, has urged the public to contact him or the Glenpark if anyone comes into contact with the Aussie animal.

If you see the wallaby you can contact Richard at: 07984 694616 or the Glenpark Estate directly on: 028 8299 0004.
