Kangaroo Haven — Attraction in Kununurra

For the last 2 days Pascal Pläschke and myself have had the privilege of working at Kangaroo Haven, an amazing wildlife sanctuary for orphaned or hurt wildlife. The first thing we learnt is how important it is to have roo shooz on your car as these can reduce road kill. We were amazed by the commitment from Mandy and how the cost financially,  and physically to her as she is not subsidized.  These include 4 hourly feeds for the baby orphaned wallabies, wallaroos, and kangaroos. Mandy is up at 4.30 am feeding and cleaning the animals before she heads to work, then runs tours after school so she can raise the $2000 + a month required too feed the orphaned and injured animals.  She was incredibly grateful to receive our help and any voluntary  support or donations to fund the animals. I was so blown away.  It was informative and one of the most beautiful experience. Thank you Mandy WatsonMandy for being such an...

I loved this! If you’re an animal lover this is a must. Mandy basically started with one kangaroo and went from there. Now she has so many! All different ages, all different injuries. And she had different animals too, from wallabies to snakes, very interactive too got to hold the snake and feed a little kangaroo! It’s just adorable, you leave just feeling great and amazed at how some people dedicate their lives to this. Good on you Mandy. Just 10 mins from town, very cheap I thought too for what you get. She showed us around the property, went to the different animals and gave us a little run down of their story. Inside we saw the baby kangaroos hanging in a little harness type thing....

Although this is called Kangaroo Haven, Mandi resues and nurses, so many different animals. Wallabies, walleroos, geese, Pythons, birds and even a couple of emus and a brogla. Giving over her house and gardens to the care of all.

The tour starts in the kitchen where you are able to bottle feed the joeys and roos. You move over to the various enclosures to see them at different stages of recuperation. The end point being the release of the animals. Then to the the many other animals, many with interesting stories.

Mandy's love and passion for wildlife is...
