Removed from Unnamed collection

Nestled in the heart of Alice Springs, The Kangaroo Sanctuary is home to Brolga and his lively mob of kangaroos. If you're a fan of the BBC/Nat Geo documentary "Kangaroo Dundee," you've already had a glimpse of this remarkable place. Here, the spotlight shines on the majestic Red Kangaroo, a true symbol of Australia.

The story began in 2005 when Brolga set up a rescue center for baby kangaroos. By 2011, this dream had evolved into a full-fledged wildlife sanctuary. The mission here is simple yet profound: educate visitors and inspire them to help rescue and care for kangaroos. It's a place where passion meets purpose, and everyone is encouraged to get involved.

Exciting news for wildlife enthusiasts: Brolga is currently working on Central Australia’s first wildlife hospital. Thanks to generous donations and support from sanctuary visitors, this vision is becoming a reality. Every contribution helps support the ongoing care of both baby and adult kangaroos at The Sanctuary. While you're there, don't miss the chance to explore the stunning landscapes surrounding Alice Springs. The area offers breathtaking views and a chance to connect with nature in a way that's both exhilarating and serene. From the rugged beauty of the outback to the vibrant local culture, there's something for everyone to enjoy. It's an experience that promises to leave a lasting impression.
