The goal of this podcast is to tickle your ears and imaginations enough to live a little more adventurously.

#2.15 Round the Clock Care for Orphaned Roos - What It’s Like To Volunteer at a Wildlife Sanctuary

October 11, 2023 • We Are Explorers • Season 2 • Episode 15

Australia has some of the most unique (and dare we say it darn cutest) wildlife on earth from koalas, emus and long-nosed potoroos (extra points if you've seen that elusive little creature!), but our most well known inhabitant is certainly the kangaroo.

Hailey Sullivan spent her time in Australia getting to know and care for these rambunctious marsupials as a volunteer wildlife carer. We find out what it's really like to live and work at a wildlife sanctuary deep in the The Kimberley in Australia's Western State.

In this chat we cover:
