Andrew and Kirsty Black are the owners of Kangaroo Tales, a property situated in Midge Point, approximately 300km south of Townsville, Queensland. The property is a dedicated wildlife sanctuary and rehabilitation site, also used for education. Andrew and Kirsty wish to continue managing the land for these purposes with the goal of building a hub for wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and public education in the community. The property is additionally registered with Land for Wildlife, and hosts campsites for visitors.
Kangaroo Tales spans 2.25 hectares across a secluded bush block close to the coast. Vegetation is comprised of eucalypt woodland, featuring grass trees and other native species. The property forms part of a habitat corridor through the region and is a wildlife rehabilitation and release site.
