How does the saying go.......
You wait months to see a Kangaroo/Wallaby and 20 turn up at the same time!
I saw my first roo the other week whilst out and about cycling (he was a big bugger) Yesterday we took the kids to the Lagoon at Redcliffe and on the way back just driving past the local Bunnings store, in the adjacent field were a mixture of Kangaroos and Wallabies. Now researching on the net a Wallaby is a small Kangaroo so as they were of varying sizes I'm assuming my terminology is correct.
Thing is, the field is right next to a major road. The field does lead into a large forest area.

Ahhh, they just gorgeous Rich. One of my favourite creatures.
Met a wombat the other evening which made some noise as it wandered through the bush and right out in front of me. The dog was completely freaked!

Re: How does the saying go.......
The side of any road around Mount Gambier is a good place if you want to come roo spotting.
2 points per dead one, 50 points for a live one!
Yep.... most of the ones you see around here are roadkill!
(and i hit another wombat a few weeks ago
- makes me far sadder than hitting a roo).

We saw a couple of emu's when we were driving on the back road to Childer's on Sunday. Nearly crashed the car as it was such a shock to see them, usually just a few roos or road kill. There was a wild pig/boar (not sure of the difference) a few weeks ago. Still waiting to see some koalas that are not in a zoo.
