Queen Abi, as she is fondly known, arrived at the sanctuary when she was just five months old and just an orphaned baby, full of cuts and scrapes. She was desperate to find a home and someone to love her.

The staff at the Kangaroo Sanctuary immediately fell in love with her and she became known as the queen of the sanctuary.

Brolga's long-term plan for the sanctuary is to build an animal hospital on the premises so that he can take care of all the injured and sick kangaroos that come live with him. You can help him achieve his dream and support other kangaroos like Abi, by making a donation here.
