A Special World Kangaroo Day Poem by Noël Sweeney

Every World Kangaroo Day, we are privileged to receive an inspirational poem from Noël Sweeney, acclaimed barrister, author, poet and passionate advocate for animal rights and human rights.

Noël has dedicated much of his life to challenging injustice and giving a voice to those whose lives and rights are too often disregarded. Through his powerful poetry, he reminds us of our responsibility to respect, protect and coexist with all living beings.

His annual contribution has become a much-loved part of our World Kangaroo Day celebrations, and we are eagerly looking forward to sharing his 2026 poem with you.

Thank you, Noël, for continuing to inspire us through your words and your unwavering compassion for animals.
