Well, they looked at the photo ID, but determined that all roos look the same! So decided not worth the bother. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good many Australians have probably never seen a wild Red Kanga. They can stand over 2m tall. Most commonly seen are Eastern Greys and various Wallabies all of which are rather to very much smaller. And a different colour. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw plenty of big reds mainly in WA and NT but since settling in the Fleurieu Peninsular (SA) I can vouch for the fact that Eastern Greys can reach 2 meter plus. We had one residing on our property a few years back, stayed for a couple weeks and presumably made its way back to the scrub. Also had a close encounter with one on our track, totally destroyed the front end of my ute four grands worth of damage and I was only travelling around 25 Kmh, the blOOdy thing came out of nowhere.

Mike Sometimes go for a jog to Euroka Clearing over lunch time, quite a mob of Eastern Greys there - tamish because many tourists stop there on their way through the Blue Mountains and feed them. There are some large ones among them , one called Bruce is huge and built like Arnie. Had a quick google of Euroka Clearing and found this image, if thats not Bruce then its his twin brother.

It is the ones hiding under the seat that you have to worry about. Thankfully for those in North Queensland they usually have to move a green tree frog out of the bowl cooling off, after eating any nasty biters hiding there. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
