Chris brolga barns biography of barack obama full

A quirky, humorous and touching film. This captivating, smash hit BBC Natural World Special, is told by an extraordinary man called Brolga who dedicates his life to saving, mothering and teaching red kangaroo orphan joeys in preparation for release back to the wilds of the Australian Outback. This then is Horn Free. As if to prove that human contact with nature can be less intrusive than the crazed travelling circus of a celebrity TV programme, Kangaroo Dundee BBC Two brought us a tall Australian hero called Brolga.

A long way out in the outback, Brolga looks after infant kangaroos, known as joeys, that have been orphaned on the highway after a speeding road train hit their mothers.

Brolga (aka Chris Barns) is the 6 ft 7 strong but sensitive Aussie star of the extraordinary BBC series Kangaroo Dundee.

What the joeys must have, if they are to grow to maturity, is a convincing substitute for motherly love. Brolga provides this. Snuggling up to Brolga, the two joeys, Ruby and Rex, are soon thriving. Rex, however, is quite likely to grow up into a big and burly male aggressively keen to protect his girlfriends; and in that case he had better not remember you for having once been so eager to swap saliva with him.

He might rate the exchange of bodily fluid as a reflection on his manhood. But until that day, Brolga and his trainee kangaroos need each other. This might have sounded mawkish if you had never seen kangaroos bouncing around in the open air. When I was young it was still a universal sight. They were magnificent, and when tiny they were deliciously cute.

Deep in the heart of Australia near a town called Alice Springs lies a sanctuary for orphaned Red Kangaroos. Run by an unlikely mum, Brolga - AKA Kangaroo Dundee - this series follows the realisation of a dream to build the first wildlife hospital within km of Alice Springs, in the shape of a Kangaroo, naturally! This two-part film follows Brolga as he expands operations by opening his doors to a whole new bunch of animals, including a trio of camels, a southern hairy-nosed wombat called Pete and three emu chicks, as well as building a wildlife hospital.
