We set off on a walk and immediately came across a mob of kangaroos. They were quite relaxed though the big male watched us intently. A mother had a big baby in her pouch. Great to see.

We were incredibly lucky to stumble upon this huge beautiful bird. It was a bit startled and annoyed but it tolerated us for a few minutes.
