This post is for the benefit of my overseas friends and followers. While not all Australians get to see this site regularly I’m very blessed to live in an area where I can see kangaroos in the wild (well, it’s a national park) and get relatively close to them – close enough to photograph them. …
I went with a group on a photowalk at Lysterfield last Saturday and we came across, a couple of times, two big old boy eastern grey kangaroos. One member obviously hadn’t been that close to a kangaroo before and was concerned for their safety. I explained that as long as the kangaroo didn’t feel cornered…
As I headed towards one of my favourite conservation walks at Lysterfield I noticed a group of young male eastern grey kangaroos at play. Gotcha!
I was walking along the conservation track at Lysterfield Park yesterday, enjoying the winter morning sunshine, a break from the rain we’d been having in the previous week. As I neared the end of the track by the gates I was looking around, listening for bird sounds, when I suddenly heard heavy footsteps come to…
While I was out walking with my brother-in-law at Lysterfield Lake Park we saw several family groups of Eastern Grey Kangaroos, some with joeys in their pouches. I think it’s cute how the joeys stick their heads out of the pouch to get a feed too 🙂
In the middle of what seemed like an early winter we suddenly have had 3 days of beautiful sunshine. I couldn’t go out on Tuesday because of client commitments (meetings) and the same yesterday but today I had all of today in my own office, after being at my weekly BNI meeting. So, I took…
If you’re visiting Australia, in particular, Victoria, and would like to get up close to a kangaroo in the wild, then I encourage you to visit Lysterfield Lake Park in the early morning hours. Anytime from sunrise till about 9am you’ll see these beautiful animals grazing in their family groups, by the lawns, carpark, even…
As I was walking back along the track at Lysterfield Park yesterday a kangaroo crossed the shared path that is used for walkers, runners and cyclists alike. Guess he figured it was for him too.
Especially for my overseas friends – thought you’d like to see what I saw last night while out for a walk. This Eastern grey female and her young one were busy watching cyclists ride on a path nearby and made a great study for me. But then they got spooked and took off – so…
I know that some who have never been to Australia think that kangaroos might roam the streets or be seen everywhere you drive. That’s not the case. However, if you drive to parks in the hills or mountains you will get that opportunity. Where I live there are several parks and mountains nearby and I…
There were quite a few fairly big roos out when I was walking at the park too. These I made sure I kept my distance from. They would definitely tower over me when standing up right and they can do serious damage to you too. So I remained alert the whole time I was walking…
Well, he wasn’t really. He was busy chewing on grass and watching me as I came closer. But he does look like he’s talking to me doesn’t he? I chose this as my ‘pic of the day’. This one stayed right on the edge of the path where I was walking and didn’t move away…
