Red-Necked Wallaby

[gus]

Also called Bennets Wallaby....well...at least i recon it is. I didnt grow up around this area & 0zzie animals do change their colours from region to region.

This is a strip of bush only 15klms (9 miles) from our CBD. These blokes live happily in the middle of 2 million people/cars/dogs/ etc. Unfortunately there are more dead on the side of the road than i see walking in the bush.

I was actually bushwalking looking for koalas but didnt see any.

I got him in mid chew...its a young male.

I saw a bunch of Kangaroos last weekend when I went just outside of town too..... Kangaroos are about the easiest thing for us Ozzies to find hu :rofl
There are usually a lot of Koalas around the same area, and I didn't even thing to look for any :scratch well usually they are so far up the trees, they are not easy to get a photo of.

The Melbourne Zoo is where I wanna go, but its been so dang cold and wet down here, and my trip to USA is just two more weeks away, and I still have things to do to prepare for that.

Hey Gus........ I had a trial pack of my Crumpler and I am thrilled that I can fit in my camera, all my lenses and my flash, filters, batteries etc, about the only two things that I didnt get in the back were the two battery charges and a couple of cables...........so I am rapt to the eyeballs :clap

Thanks for sharing your Kangaroo & Kangabutt too :rofl

Thanks skip...plenty wallabys around here but the roos are out a bit further. There is a golf club nearby though that has to chase them away from the japanese tourists....they like 'em in parks but not out in the open :lol3

The crumpler is fantastic. Mine is cockers & weighs in at about 10kg. You need comfort for that weight. Than damned 400 does the damage...take it out & its light.
