Granny Ratty's Bar

Granny Ratty’s Bar is in honour of the late Granny Ratty who was an Australian Water Rat or Rakali we had in our care back in 2015.

It is located at our home in Sandford Tasmania for our friends and family to come and have a drink

For those not aware, Granny Ratty’s Bar is inspired by the late Granny Ratty who was an Australian Water Rat or as they are now more commonly known a rakali (which is the traditional indigenous name for them).
Granny came into our carer on February 18th 2015 after being found at the Save the Tasmanian Devil breeding facility at Cressy in Tasmania’s north.
Granny was suspected to be a juvenile female rakali with a head injury for some time before it was discovered she was a senior citizen.
She lived with myself and Josh until she passed away in July of the same year and is now taxidermied above our bar at home.
She has been the poster child for Rakali Awareness Day for the past 4 years creating a lot of attention both on Facebook and in the media. We have had several radio interviews, a podcast and an Australian Geographic article about her.
If you are interested in learning more about Rakali or the Australian Water Rat, please check out the Rakali Awareness Day and Sightings page and get involved on February 18th when we celebrate the day but sharing stories, educational information and our experiences with this amazing species.

We all love otters and the rakali is essentially Australia’s otter!!
