Meet the kangaroos in the Sponsoroo program The kangaroos in the Sponsoroo program are only a handful of the kangaroos living at Narimba. There are constantly new joeys coming in to care or kangaroos being released here. Some of the kangaroos who have been sponsored in the past are now in the wild and have families. It is so wonderful to observe them out there in the wild with their mob - happy and free. That is what we want for them afterall! We have removed the fences so they come and go to the house area as they please, bringing their family and friends with them. Through your sponsorship of a kangaroo and through donations, the other kangaroos benefit and we all very much appreciate that. Thank you! Once you have joined please email Susie to ask about your kangaroo and the others. Please read the Narimba page so you get a picture of how we are creating a better sanctuary for the kangaroos and other native wildlife. Your sponsorship helps to contribute to this.
All the Red females have a soft and gentle nature. They hop so gracefully, they look so dainty, their bones are so fine and fragile looking.
Viva is Blitty’s first born. She was named after the organisation Viva!
in appreciation for their constant campaigning to help kangaroos. Even
though she wasn’t raised by me she usually appears out of nowhere when
I call her. Eastern Grey Kangaroos - Pip, Mim, Elsie,
Mim is a very special Grey who is one of these twins! Roowena, Mim's mother, came home to show me she had twins in her pouch. But then, a couple of months later they were very squashed in there and it was obvious that Roowena would not be able to carry them both, so she asked me if I could take one. Mim has grown into the prettiest kangaroo. Elsie is named after a dear friend in Sydney who does an incredible amount of work for animals. She is a great supporter of Sponsoroo. Western Grey Kangaroos - Harry
Kangaroos are all very special in their own way. If ever you have had dogs or cats or a few of any other species of animal, you would know how each varies from the others in differing ways. It is the same with kangaroos. They are each individuals, with their own uniqueness, their own traits. Those from the one species may all look the same (rather like humans from an unfamiliar culture appear so alike to some people) but once you start to watch them or get to know them, or especially raise and live with them, you become aware of their individuality. |

" Since my unforgettable visit in February, 2007 in Narimba I am longing to come back. Rarely have I seen a person as devoted to the cause of kangaroo care, protection and survival as Susie Rowe. She has true love and great respect to what was here before us. "Nick

Humans need to wake up, realise, comprehend and embrace the pure, unequivocal depth and beauty of kangaroos.
