I was playing tourist guide this week (between the rain anyway!) and generally came up with the goods.
These are Eastern Grey Kangaroos. We found them in Wilson Promontory National park, in southern Victoria - which is just about as good a place to find them as there is. The guests were well impressed - and also slightly surprised at how un-phased the 'roos where as we watched them from the car. But once the door opened off they went.
You can find some more words and pictures from an earlier trip to The Prom here - it really is a remarkable place.
You can find more images from around the world here at Our World Tuesday.
Enjoy the pictures (and if you have time, take a trip over to my wordy blog!)
lovely photos of the 'roos Stewart and your visitors would've really enjoyed the experience. It was many years back when I was there last; a truly beautiful part of the world. I especially remember LOTS of wrens hopping around..
ReplyDeleteWow! Lovely pictures. Some day I would be in Australia to see these wonderful creatures!
ReplyDeleteLove the 'roo pictures. You obviously are a great guide. What did you say you were doing next month?

ReplyDeleteWow, having 'roos looking at you that close must be a wonderful feeling. I love animals in the wild..

ReplyDeleteIf only I had a magic carpet -- or even an airplane that took less than a gazillion hours to get there -- I would just love to visit your National parks. amazing stuff.
ReplyDeleteI love how they seem to be posing for you!
ReplyDeleteLove the way they posed in that last shot.
