On our final day at Rocklands Reservoir, this mother kangaroo finally let me see her joey.

I’ve mentioned before how, on dull days, the kangaroos stay nearer the houses for longer. This morning, the sun came out and caught them by surprise.  One of the gates is shut, and these fellows prefer to go around the long way instead of jumping fences.

I didn’t notice this pouched joey until I’d upload the images to the laptop. What a treat.
