Sinossi
Brolga (aka Chris Barns) is the 6ft 7in strong but sensitive Aussie star of the extraordinary BBC series Kangaroo Dundee. Brolga lives in a simple tin shed in the outback where he raises orphaned baby kangaroos. It is a sad fact of life that kangaroo mothers are at the mercy of speeding cars in this part of the world—killed on the road, their young still tucked up in their pouches. These young joeys are given a second chance thanks to the kindness and dedication of Brolga, who carefully retrieves them and nurses them back to health. Brolga has been rescuing these special creatures for years, slowly and painstakingly creating a kangaroo sanctuary for the many kangaroos he has saved, reared, and loved. He has dedicated his life to observing how kangaroo mums care for their babies and does everything he can to replicate this. The baby kangaroos, traumatized by losing their mother so early, are tucked up into pillow cases and kept warm and comforted next to Brolga at night. We see him getting up at 4am to bottle feed them, washing them in a little tub, taking them to the supermarket, and generally mothering them with heartbreaking tenderness. Charting Brolga's life with the joeys and honing in on his relationship with one or two in particular, Kangaroo Dundee tells the heartwarming, sometimes funny, sometimes poignant story of one man's unique relationship with a group of extraordinary animals.

Cloth. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Kangaroo Dundee. When Chris Barns, AKA Brolga, stopped at the roadside to tend to a kangaroo lying there, he found that she was already dead - another victim of speeding cars in the remote Australian outback. But as he genetly moved her body, he discovered, still tucked up within the pouch, a tiny pink baby kangaroo, injured but alive. So began an extraordinary and life-changing hourney. Brolga's deep liove and respect for animals went back to childhood, but for years he had led a nomadic life drifting from one job to the next, never settling. This moment was a turning point. Brolga tenderly nursed the baby joey back to health and realised that if he could same one orphan then he could save another. Over the years Brolga has watched how kangaroo mums care for their young. He now uses what he's learned to give these helpless creatures a second change; feeding them, bathing them, doing everything a mother would. Living simply in a one-room tin shack in Alice Springs, this tough 6'7'' Australian has dedicated his life to painstakingly caring for his kangaroo 'mob' before releasing them into the sanctuary he has created. Here, Brolga describes life with the joeys and how, through his care and love for them, a lifelong bond is created. We meet Roger and Ella and the other kangaroos, and come to understand how this unique relationship between one man and these beloved animals not only saved their lives, but gave purpose to his. Illustrated. 290 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
