Emu named Charlotte
One of Wondai’s most famous feathered residents was a beloved emu named Charlotte. Known by a number of names including Eric, Emmy and Moo, Charlotte became a local icon, strolling through town on a regular basis. Unfortunately, Charlotte was injured in a car accident in 2014 and had to be put down as a result of her injuries. But the big beautiful bird’s legacy still lives on through her statue in Coronation Park on Mackenzie Street. Back to top
