Kangaroooooos!

One of the first questions people ask when they hear we are in Australia is "Have you seen any Kangaroos yet?" The answer... YES. I spotted the first one while we were on the train from Sydney to Canberra. A few days later we saw the ones below while we were out trying to find a house to live in.

This kangaroo tried to attack me and Tara beat it to death with that stick. OR Unfortunately for this 'Roo he got hit by a car and we saw him on the side of the road. Our first roadkill sighting.
We didn't see any for quite awhile but the weather has started warming up which means we and the kangaroos are out a lot more, therefore we have more opportunity to run into each other. We bumped into these ones on Campus at Tara's school.
They had Joey's in their pouches but we didn't think it wise to get any closer for a picture.
Walking home the same day we came across this group only 5 minutes from our house. They just watched us as we went by.I have been back past the same spot since and saw even more kangaroos in the same clearing. If you come and visit we can take you to see them. We wanted to get a video of them hopping but the slow creep was all we could get on this day.
