KANGAROO ORPHANAGE AT COOBER PEDY.mpg
KANGAROO ORPHANAGE AT JOSEPHINE'S GALLERY IN COOBER PEDY.
Our wonderful friends, Terry and Joe are always looking for volunteers to help look after their kangaroos. Their labor intensive job has them tied 24 hours a day to their orphanage and its endearing collection of kangaroos. But as they both admit, 'Sometimes, we simply need a little break on our own. We aren't getting any younger, yet the needs of these little ones remain consistent. And as beautiful as these little guys are, it's still a tiring and endless job, day and night, week in week out, which really takes it out of you.'
To run their orphanage, Terry and Joe rely predominantly upon money that they earn from their gallery. Therefore, your donations are also very much welcome -- even if it's just a few dollars, every little bit helps.
Mother kangaroos are either getting hit by cars, shot by hunters or killed by dogs, so up to 3 new arrivals are brought in every month. Each baby kangaroo requires around $50 per week to maintain until they are ready for release. These costs cover the special 'lactose free' milk mixtures and disposable dippers. The little kangaroos also use about 5 disposable dippers per day. Furthermore, this covers the water and electricity bills for the washing machine, which seems to be constantly running, washing soiled blankets and bedding. Quite a costly exercise for an arid region like Coober Pedy. Petrol expenses and the occasional vets bill are not included.
So for those of you who were touched by these adorable and playful youngsters and are interested in lending a hand, or donating some money, contact Terry and Joe on: +61 8 86725931 josephine@josephinesgallery.com.au

Coober Pedy: Would You Live Underground? - Black Pepper Abroad Ep. 048
The folks here actually live underground in what they call dugouts. What better way to look for opals than to dig a hole into the side of a cliff and call it home. When you stop to think about it, it does make a lot of sense. Coober Pedy is hot and dry nearly all year long. Underground the temperature remains a constant 20C to 25C degrees and very little building materials are required when you dig out each room. This lifestyle is not for everyone which Agnes makes very clear :)
Coober Pedy is an odd mining town which has grown into a huge tourist attraction. Movies about distant planets have been filmed here (Pitch Black), you can play golf in the desert and attend church underground. If you're into opals, then this is the town for you. There are plenty of opals for sale and you can learn all about the mining process in Coober Pedy. It was a great place to turn 32 years old in!

Hot Deserts - Secrets of World Climate, Episode 4
THE HOTTEST PLACES on our earth. Endless expanses of bare rock and dunes. And yet also the location of amazing cities, and rich cultures, both past and present. Separating the tropics from the temperate latitudes, these are the climates of the hot deserts of Planet Earth.
See this part of the planet like you've never seen it before in a new and original Earth documentary written and produced by GeoDiode.
The fourth episode in a series exploring all the major climate zones of the world, here we show this part of the world in its full beauty, and uncover the secrets of why it is that way and show you the cities that lie within its influence.
From the Mojave, Sonora and Chihuahuan deserts of south-west United States (including the hottest place on Earth - Death Valley) and northern Mexico, through the arid coast of Peru, and the Gran Chaco of north-west Argentina, the Americas feature unique biomes of aridity and heat.
The largest of all deserts, the Sahara, spanning the vast northern stretches of Africa, and continuing east into the Horn of Africa and the Middle East and beyond into southern Iran, Pakistan and western India - the central continents of Earth have the greatest areas of hot and dry lands anywhere on the planet.
In southern Africa, the Namib and Kalahari deserts offer a counterpoint to their much greater northern brother.
Lastly, the majority of the island continent is covered by the endless plains of the Red Heart of Australia, and the Outback - the Great Sandy, Victoria and Gibson deserts.
Once home to incredible civilisations of the past, and highlighted by the ancient Egyptians of the Nile, Petra of Jordan and the Mughal Emperors of Agra and its stunning Taj Mahal mauseleom, the deserts are now home to incredible, almost near-future looking cities like Las Vegas and Dubai that glitter in the clear desert night.
Countries that feature deserts in this video:
United States (California, Nevada, Arizona), Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Morocco, Egypt, Jordan, Sudan, United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Namibia, Pakistan, India, Australia
Cities featured in this video that lie within the hot desert, mild desert, semi-arid and steppe climates:
Las Vegas Nevada, Phoenix Arizona, Monterrey, Lima, Marrakech, Cairo, Baghdad, Dubai, Khartoum, Mogadishu, Karachi, Alice Springs.
