He’s captured the hearts of the nation, but now George the Wombat is moving on to greener pastures.
The cuddly critter has called the Australian Reptile Park home for just over a year, after his mum was hit and killed by a car.
But now, he’s ready to re-join the wild, set to be released to the Cedar Creek Wombat Sanctuary in the Hunter Valley to roam free.
He’s become a worldwide viral sensation, clocking up around 50 million views online and named Australia’s Most Adorable Animal earlier this year.
He’ll remain on the Central Coast until mid-January.
