Kangaroo and Joey

Kangaroo and Joey, originally uploaded by Ladymaggic.

Kangaroos are here in Burrum Heads, and driving at dusk and night can be dangerous as Kangaroos may be on the roads.

These photos were taken at Sandy National Park where I stayed a week.
The Kangaroos would come out in the evening and in the early morning.
They were quite happy to graze the grass, and some even let the children pat them, but they are wild and not tamed at all.

This joey was quite large to still be with his mother.
He was very nervous and timid.
