Hi Micheal sorry to reply very slowly, just busy working.
I do not want anything to do with wires, too much red tape and other issues I have personally faced.
But appreciate the thought about their rescue work...
They have all been released with the help of a private conservationist at his beautiful wetlands near Gunning.
We can only hope they have a chance to survive there and breed into the future.
Thankyou & appreciate this amazing website
