Where it all began
Mandy and her partner Marc hit a red kangaroo on the road and rescued the baby from her pouch, their hearts melted and they knew they had to help, so they took her in and named her Midnight. After that day, up to 20 babies crowded their 2-bedroom apartment, the youngest ones in the house, and the oldest in the yard.
In 2011 they moved to a 10-acre block just outside of Kununurra and built large enclosures for all the joeys. They built a large shed with different sections which include undercover areas for the different enclosures and a preparation/kitchen area. We put all our energy and time in caring for the animals, so that we can release them back into the wild. It is not a hobby it is a passion and a great feeling to see them going back and have a second chance to be out in the wild where they should be. And you can help us too. You want to learn more? |
our success proves us right
15 years on and we have been taking care of 30 to 50 joeys at a time, feeding them and caring for them until old enough to be released into the wild. To date we have successfully released over 650 joeys back into the wild.
We work closely with The Department of Parks and wildlife. They have helped to secure us a safe and secluded area to release our beautiful babies which has a constant natural supply of water and food.
Our mission is to help animals and they come first. We not only take care of kangaroos, at our private property we also look after birds, emus and every animal which needs help. It is our passion and we like to share it with you. Education and the right handling of wildlife is important in Australia and we are more than lucky to share our experience with you. How?
