Roos!

We arrived in Canberra at about 5:30pm, and it was already getting dark (it is winter, after all). Twilight is the best time to see kangaroos, so we drove straight to the golf course for a view of the roos. I thought there might be a couple bouncing around, but I wasn’t quite prepared for this…

There must have been about 30 of them altogether (called a mob, not a herd), just roaming around, minding their own business. I moved in for some closer shots (a huge shout out to Kathleen and her AWESOME lens – not sure if she’s getting it back!).

It was such an incredible sight, and I was quite moved by it all as I came to the realization that I was a really, really long way from home. The roos here are very much like our deer back home. They’re very common, they’re shy, they come out at night, they eat grass, and they can kill you if you hit one with your car.
