Let me tell you mate....... Unfortunately, we have benefited from the european human invasion into our land and our numbers have run riot. There are professional hunters that cull our numbers regularly and our meat is sold in supermarkets, same for our emu friends.

This is really a feel-good exercise, not a conservation one.

I've watched the series from day one, the blokes a hero for the Kangaroos, and not many people would want to live in a shack like that in the bush.

trt....I agree....we need more Brolgas in the world today,,,what a nice chap !

Lovely chap, great programme. I could watch him forever with the babies. I'm glad he's found himself a wife who shares his passion.

I think Mrs Brolga must be a very rare lady indeed !

I think Brolga himself is rare too mikey.

I think Ive missed a couple of prog with his wife, is it being repeated?
