Join us in the Blue Mountains for World Kangaroo Day - 24th October 2023 at the Carrington Hotel, Katoomba.

To book and see the full program head to: www.bluemountainsworldkangarooday.org

A day packed with information sessions - hosted by local licenced carers, experts and advocates of kangaroos and wallabies.

Have you ever thought of what you would do if you see an injured kangaroo? Do you know why you shouldn't buy pet food made from kangaroo? Did you know that many major international fashion brands have now refused to buy kangaroo leather? Have you ever wondered why you see less and less kangaroos now? .....all these questions and many many more will be answered on the day!

There will be a number of screenings of the award winning locally filmed documentary - Kangaroo; A Love Hate Story
This groundbreaking film reveals the truth surrounding Australia’s love-hate relationship with its beloved icon. KANGAROO unpacks a national paradigm where the relationship with kangaroos is examined.

Special guest speakers include local wildlife carer and kangaroo advocate Greg Keightley, Assoc. Prof David Brooks, Elizabeth Ellis (THINKK) and lots more!
