078 – Roo Gully kangaroo experience

Linda talks to James Dunbar about his experience volunteering at Roo Gully Wildlife Sanctuary. Sure, it’s mostly kangaroos but there was a lot more to it than you might expect.

Roo Gully is in a small town in Western Australia, run by founder Carol. A typical day varies according to the season – when there are joeys it seems you spend a lot of time being a surrogate mum, though otherwise you spend your time feeding and cleaning up after the animals.

The facility can accommodate up to eight volunteers so if you’re interested in working there, get in touch with them. You pay $20 a day to cover food and accommodation and any extras are your responsibility. You can also find Roo Gully on YouTube
