Eastern Grey Kangaroos

These Eastern Grey Kangaroos (Macropus giganteus) were loafing about in a paddock behind my accommodation when I stayed at Glenrowan recently.  There were about 45 of these iconic animals spread over the paddocks that ran alongside the driveway up to the caravan park.

I never get tired of seeing these remarkable creatures.





As you can see, that last picture is of a female with youngster on board!

  3. They are magnificent. I assume they're in a paddock to keep them safe?

    1. Hi Marcia - these are free roaming, wild animals that just happen to be using the paddocks to feed in and loaf about on - when you see the ease with which they bounce over normal stock fences, you would understand why a kangaroo can go almost anywhere it pleases! cheers SM
