Kangaroo Dundee &#; The Man Saving Orphaned Joeys in the Outback
In the heart of Australia’s Outback, one man has dedicated his life to rescuing and rehabilitating orphaned kangaroo joeys. Chris “Brolga” Barns, affectionately known as Kangaroo Dundee, has become a local legend for his tireless efforts to save and care for these vulnerable animals. This article explores his incredible journey, the establishment of the Kangaroo Sanctuary, and the impact of his work on wildlife conservation.
The kangaroo: symbol of Australia
This cute and impressive animal is the largest marsupial in the world. The kangaroo is native to the Australian continent, the only place on earth where you will find it in its natural environment. Despite its large population, many of these animals are injured and also killed each year &#; approximately 3 million die each year. The main reasons for these deaths are slaughter (which is allowed) and road accidents. Chris Barns works to save these animals for whom he has developed a special attachment! He looks after them and takes care of them on a daily basis (feeding, walking, playing and cuddling…). This is his story.

Say Goodaye to Brolga, the &#;Surrogate Mom&#; to Orphaned Baby Kangaroos
Say goodaye to Chris Barnes, a local Australian hero who has devoted his life to rescuing orphaned baby kangaroos in central Australia. The caretaker, who is nicknamed &#;Brolga&#; after the Aboriginal word for the mighty Australian crane, acts as a &#;surrogate mom&#; to nearly 30 kangaroos, including little joeys whose mothers were struck and killed by vehicles. For the past decade, Brolga has worked tirelessly to rescue, raise, and care for these precious babies before safely releasing them back into the wild.
Brolga first established a baby kangaroo rescue center in Alice Springs back in after finding one too many joeys still alive in their dead mothers&#; pouches on the side of the road. After years of cleaning buses and stacking shelves in order to earn extra money, he was finally able to open the acre Kangaroo Sanctuary in It wasn&#;t long before BBC contacted Brolga with the goal of producing a documentary series about his life, titled Kangaroo Dundee. Since the hit series began airing, Brolga has received international attention for his selfless work caring for kangaroos.

Once you get a look at these adorable babies, you'll probably agree that he has one of the best jobs in the world. However, there is a tragic side to his job, as well, most of these joeys come to him because their moms have been hit by cars and killed, leaving their babies still alive within their pouches. Barns now has his very own custom built sanctuary, thanks to generous donations from the public, which is currently home to 28 kangaroos and one camel. Here's what Barns has to say about his calling&#;
“My first experience with an orphan kangaroo joey was in when I was a 17 year old Zookeeper at Pearl Coast Zoo in Western Australia. Her name was Josie Jo – a beautiful Western Grey joey being raised at the zoo staff quarters where I lived. The adventure of having a joey in the house and helping raise her made me realise that all I wanted to do in life was be

The man nicknamed Kangaroo Dundee after devoting his life to saving orphaned joeys, has revealed how two years since springing to fame in a BBC documentary - and finding love with his now wife - his first priority in life is still to care for orphaned baby kangaroos.
Chris Barns, who is set to return to TV in the ABC documentary series One Plus One: The Road To Alice, says finding the joeys still alive in their dead mother's pouch is like 'winning the lottery' for him.

The handsome wildlife rescuer was inundated with marriage proposals when his story was first shown on TV in and he was living in a tin shack on the ground o
