Latte Loving Tree Kangaroo An Extraordinary Animal Encounter

She's the former zookeeper from Germany's Stuttgart Zoo, they are one of Queensland's most elusive creatures, together Margit Cianelli and her tree kangaroos share an extraordinary bond that has to be seen to be believed.
Visit Margit's house Lumholtz Lodge at Atherton in Far North Queensland, and you not only get to see a tree kangaroo, but even have the chance to share a coffee with one in her kitchen.
Margit's marsupials also have the run of the house - so guests staying in her B&B need to be prepared to share the sofa with a tree kangaroo - or even the dinner table (Margit says one of her charges jumped up onto the dinner table and into the dessert platter one night - to her distress but the hilarity of guests)
Kimberley the tree kangaroo is a young female who was abandoned as a joey, Margit has become her mother and will spend up to three years teaching her how to climb trees and select the right leaves to eat.
The former zookeeper says being one of only a handful of people in Queensland helping to care for injured or abandoned tree kangaroos like Kimberley is a privilege and joy every single day.
