Do you know why Kangaroos played a huge part in the naming of the island? It is not only for their presence on said island, but for their delicious taste. The founders of the island were hungry when they landed and kangaroo was their food of choice. Recently, John threw a little Kangaroo on the Barby and it was good, a little gamey but surprisingly did not taste like chicken.
During our trip we saw a lot of wildlife: koalas, goannas, seals, wallabies, Galahs and even a few kangaroos, but one would expect to see a lot of Kangaroos coming to an island of its same name. So on our way to catch the ferry, Grandpa spotted an entire field of Kangaroos. John quickly turned around and we all hopped (ha) out of the van to get a little bit closer. There were a lot of kangaroos close to the water.
But, John chose to hop (ha ha) a fence to see a lone Kangaroo...it was amazing to see how close we were able to get.

It is like seeing the deer running in the streets of Springville...they are everywhere. We are used to seeing them around the house, I wonder how the Aussies feel about seeing the herds...ho hum same old everyday kind of thing. No matter what, I think it is exciting that you get to see them when ever you can.
Keep on exploring the world where you live. We love the updates.
