Wombats have been allowing other endangered animals into their homes as they flee fire-torn bushland.

Animals have survived the bushfires by fleeing into underground tunnels set up by wombats.

The tunnels have become a refuge for species like wallabies and echidnas, as they shelter from the fires.

Documentary filmmaker Peter Hylands has been visiting the firegrounds of the devastated Cobargo Wildlife Sanctuary.

Mr Hylands told Yahoo the landscape is almost completely burnt and the devastation to the local wildlife is incredible.

But he said he believes some survivors managed to escape because of the ground work put in by wombats.

'You've got animals that are completely unscathed and those must be the animals that have been under the ground, it's the only explanation when the fire zones are so extensive,' Mr Hylands said.

'There are quite a few wombats in that region, and there's quite an extensive network of burrows.

What was particularly amazing is it's clearly not only wombats who are using those burrows in the firestorm,' he said.

Wombat Rescue Manager Yolandi Vermaak told the Daily Mail Australia she has witnessed other animals taking advantage of these networks.

'At most, there would be animals fleeing into burrows. I've seen echidnas going into burrows- lizards, and skinks, rabbits- those sort of things. I have even seen a small wallaby,' she said.

'The burrow systems are quite complex- and these can include tunnels up to 20 or 30 meters long with several entrances and interconnecting tunnels lead to sleeping chambers.

'Wombats don't do herding. I guess of their own accord these animals would flee into the burrow systems.'

Wombat Rescue has partnered with the Sleepy Burrows Wombat Sanctuary on a mission to provide support to the wildlife affected by the fires around Tallaganda, 50km southeast of Canberra.

Wildlife carers have been conducting weekly operations to drop off food and water supplies in the bushfire ravaged countyside, and will continue doing so until a significant rain event.

Ms Vermaak has been strapping on go pro and head torch and physically crawling through wombat burrows to check on surviving wombats.

She said she hasn't found a single burnt wombat during her search and rescue missions.

During a recent food and water drop crews uncovered a series of survivors- includng two water dragons, wallabies, skinks and wombats.

The group captured a video of a wombat and butterfly keeping cool with a caption of hope.

'Nature is so resilient... it clings to life,' the post said.
