World’s Largest Hospital for Wild Animals in Beerwah, Australia

Lisa Marie Williams is the Australian photographer who won the first place at the 2009 Sony World Photography Awards in the Fine Arts and Natural History category. Her amazing photos were taken in the world’s largest hospital for wild animals in Beerwah (The Sunshine Coast, east coast of Australia). Opened in 2008 with money from the Australian States, the hospital is now capable of treating up to 10,000 animals each year. These images are simply amazing. Thanks Lisa Marie! [via SWPA]
