Kangaroos
Animal Rescue
There's a special place in Heaven reserved for those who dedicate their lives to taking care of orphaned joeys. Fauna Rescue Of Queensland is at http://www.fauna-rescue-qld.org.au/index.html. Their site is dedicated to providing information and advice on the various species of wildlife found in the area and what to do in the event that you find an animal in need of help and who to contact if this happens and much much more.
Native Australian Animal Rescue at http://members.iinet.net.au/~vturner/w5.htm will give you an idea of what's involved in looking after joeys and other native Australian animals. It includes a photo gallery.
Another volunteer-based organisation that fosters orphaned and sick native animals. The Fauna Rescue of South Australia Inc website at http://www.faunarescue.org.au/ will provide valuable information about looking after wildlife in need.
Protection
I was reluctant to include this group on my links of kangaroo protection sites because I'm very conscious of the criticism of foreigners telling us what to do with "our" kangaroos, but quite frankly, they are the most active organisation in this field and it doesn't really matter where the message comes from as long as the message gets out there. Savethekangaroo.com is sponsored by Viva, the UK animal rights group.
You can sponsor fostered kangaroos on this site, but she is also dedicated to helping to protect kangaroos in the wild. This site contains the most intelligent defence of kangaroos I have read on the internet. You can find it at: http://www.sponsoroo.com
The National Kangaroo Protection Coalition is an alliance of Australian wildlife and animal protection groups, who are committed to closing down the commercial and non-commercial kangaroo kill. Currently 22 wildlife and animal protection groups make up the Coalition.

Other Animals
It's still under development, but Marsupalia.com already has some great photos on it.
Computing
In late 2001, I discovered the joys of open source computing. I manipulate my photos in The Gimp, edit my pages in Vim and upload the results using NcFTP and Cyberduck, all running over Darwin, Apple's open source BSD-based platform for Mac OS X. This site is made (mostly) using open source software.
Go to the Darwinian Poetry is an experiment in getting a computer to write poetry, with us voting on the poems we prefer. It's easy, it's fun; get to it!
Fanzines
Tales of the Tai-Pan Universe is a fanzine for which I eagerly await every issue. It combines some of the best fan-based science fiction writing you are likely to find in a shared universe with funny animals. Check it out at: http://www.taipanproject.org/
Being the former co-publisher of South Fur Lands, I know you'd expect me to say good things about it, but this really is a worthy furry fanzine, which has been compared favourably with the top US-based furry fan publications. Go to http://www.furry.org.au/sfl/ to find out more.
Visit Wolfie's Den at http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~wuff/ for his thoughts on life, and fiction. He's only writing Harry Potter fan fiction at the moment (with his own twist) but his narrative really flows. Not only is he a good friend, but he shows a lot of promise as a writer.
Web Comics
I read more online comic strips than I should. Here is a (non-exhaustive) list of my favourites.
Unicorn Jelly is a truly magickal comic strip (and I don't use the word lightly). There are over 600 strips of an ongoing story, so you have a lot of catching up to do, but it IS worth the effort.
This creator is so talented I'm surprised he's a man. :) Lots of fun sillyness from the animals of Mynarski Forest.
Ozy and Millie is at once innocent and cynical. Recapture your lost childhood there.
Catharsis Comics is the latest web comic to be added to my list of regular reading. It is about a woman (sometimes girl) and her dragon.
