A WALLABY REMAINS missing in Co Tyrone after it escaped from Glenpark Estate on Sunday afternoon.
Two of the small, Kangaroo-like animals arrived at the estate in Omagh on Sunday. One jumped over a fence and escaped a short time after.
It was last seen on the Gortin Road in Omagh on Sunday evening – around 8km from the estate.
Richard Beattie, owner of the Glenpark Estate, said the search has been ongoing for the past two days for the missing marsupial.
“The biggest problem we have is just we’re so close to Gortin Glens Forest Park and there’s thousands of acres of trees,” Beattie told RTÉ radio’s Morning Ireland.
He called on anyone in the surrounding areas who spots the female wallaby to contact the estate or local police so it can be returned to the enclosure.
Beattie described her as around two feet in height with the “exact same” long tail and jumping style as a kangaroo.
He said there’s a possibility the animal could have hidden in long grass.
He added that she will be fine to survive on her own and that she poses no danger to the public.
“If anyone sees her or sights her, don’t go near her. Stay clear of her because if you move in on her, she will move off again,” he said.
“So if anybody sees her, stay well back and just contact Glenpark Estate or the police.
“We want to get her back. She’s a part of the open farm areas and we want to try and get her back into enclosure again.”

What a depressing article. I’m over 30 and I’m still having a good time.
Journal, do you not have any pictures of building sites or does every employee in Ireland work in an office?
Go wild and start a pension!………….said no one under 30 ever!
Completely lazy writing , looks like it’s cut and paste from a US website. Getting fired is not a good career move for anyone!
I’m 31,I’m back in college doing a masters in a field completely unrelated to my undergrad. I had a permanent and pensionable job in a stable establishment, health insurance, life insurance, a decent wage, my partner and I had saved enough to buy a house and had our mortgage approval. Then we packed it all in, took the money and went travelling. Have barely a penny to my name and in debt to pay for my course, I’ll almost be 33 by the time I’m finished and back in the work force starting again. After reading this tripe do you think I regret anything? What a load of bull. Live whatever life you want to f-ing live, do whatever you want to do with your life whenever you want to do it! The only thing I’d agree with is leave a crap job. I loved my job but I wanted something new. Life is too short to stay in a job you hate or is unfulfilling or with people who are monsters and you are unhappy. Age is a number, it’s meaningless. If someone isn’t willing to give you a chance because of it then take the chance your self. Enjoy life, whatever that means to you, it can end very suddenly.
Look at George Hook as an example,his career only began at 58.Whats with the panic at 30 about.
Fine….but do we really have to look at him?
Nonsense; do people get paid for this rubbish?
When you say get fired, you mean be made redundant?
To get fired is is a very serious matter that this Mr.Kerr chap surely can’t be advocating.
Misconduct or harassment are not accomplishments.
There’s a mad rush off it though…
How about living a real life. Is your tedious career in business, economics, marketing etc going to leave you with a sense of accomplishment when you’re on your deathbed. For an accountant; Are you going to look back on your life and think those 50 years of trading, profit and loss accounts were a life well spent? People’s views of a successful life are so skewed.
All seems very girly to me. Buy a guitar and migrate to west cork. \m/
Number 5: the elevator pitch. Has anyone ever listened to someone explain how what they do is the most amazing thing ever, and not come away thinking they’re only a self agrandising pr*ck?
Anyway what’s an elevator… it’s a lift
Wear sunscreen
I’ll be 30 in November, I have an Arts degree, got fired from a minimum wage job a year ago now I’m back in college!! So no.
This type of garbage telling me what rules and limitations to put on my life.
Piss off!!
“15 things you should accomplish in your work life before turning 30″
Before turning 30 you would be 29

I try my best not to get fired, no way am I changing my attitude on that, type of thing that will always come back to haunt you.
Ah what a load of shite. Dont be a lick arse, speak your mind, be sound to your colleagues and go for pints with the ones you like. Have a buffer of cash so you never feel trapped in an undesirable situation. Try make money from what you enjoy either in or outside your work and Dont burn your bridges.
The response to this BS article gives me confidence :)
What a load of absolute bollox. If someone ever makes an ‘elevator pitch’ to me I’ll throw them down the stairs.
Does the guy who wrote this realise its all pointless? Having a big successful career means nothing when your dead. Your not on the is planet for long, try to enjoy it as much as you can and try not to be a total nob about it. Life is too short to spend every hour working or thinking about work.
What a sh1r article
Anither Stupid Article from The Journal.
