Like we mentioned- you never know who is going to turn up where this week!
Today we have a special interview with our very own up and coming celebrity! Daisy! She has done an amazing job interviewing her dad and helping put together this YouTube clip..
Ranger Daisy and her dad, Ranger Matt, have prepared heaps of cool facts and footage about kangaroos.
Daisy’s dad has worked as a real ranger at the Royal Botanic Gardens. He has worked as Safari Guide and Camp Leader at the Werribee Zoo and a Camp Leader at the Melbourne Zoo. He has also worked at the Melbourne Aquarium.
Thanks very much Ranger Daisy and Ranger Matt for putting this together for us to enjoy!
