Chris Barnes is the hero of the day in Australia.
Automobiles, however, terrify kangaroos. They are usually in a hurry and hit them. While waiting for their parents, the cubs starve to death. Chris takes care of these animals. He opened his clinic in Alice Springs in 2005, bringing live infants in backpacks. After years of cleaning buses and laying floors, he was able to acquire 90 acres of property and build a private sanctuary for healing and developing dogs.
Chris is known as the Australian Crane. BBC documentary “Kangaroo Dundee” was filmed on him. Many people grew to admire Chris after watching the miniseries, which was well-received around the world.
He is still a quiet man who lives with his “Joeys,” as he refers to them. They are cared for by Nanny, who covers them in blankets and spoon-feeds them. He is chased down and treated as if he were a real mother. As he sits on the front porch at twilight with a drink in hand, he enjoys watching his enormous kangroo family play on the grass.
In such a straightforward and lovely manner, he assesses his addiction. His veterinary clinic-shelter is the first of its kind on a private property. It’s a great concept that others are attempting to copy.
