On the way home from work tonight, spotted these kangaroos on a vacant block. It is a fairly usual sight to see one or two about at dusk, but I haven’t seen this many on this particular block by the road for some time. I immediately did a u-turn, pulled over, and fished out the phone.

Vacant block, horses & kangaroos

I approached the fence, keeping behind a big concrete power pole. The horses came over and that helped keep the kangaroos in place. None moved until I reached the fence-line. The red brick building in the background, behind the trees, is the St Mary’s Catholic Church and Manse. Pity the weather was so gloomy! It was about 6:00pm.

These two have been wandering around for a few weeks now. Between them and kangaroos, don’t need mow our front yard!
