Being watched

kangaroo.jpgOur family has been having an amazing time at the Baptist Camp in Serpentine over the past few days. Pauline and I have been camp mum and dad. Emily and James have been campers.

I left the campsite to head to work quite early this morning and as I drove towards the gate I noticed I was being watched. There was a very large kangaroo having breakfast on the sports oval.

The roo was looking directly at me. I stopped to watch him for a while. He watched me a little longer before bounding off, followed by another, smaller, kangaroo that I hadn’t spotted earlier.

I’m glad they headed off. I might have just sat and watched them for the rest of the day if they’d stayed there.

I know that they’re not suited to suburban back yards so I’ll never be able to have a kangaroo as a pet but they really are majestic animals. Being able to see roos so close to suburbia is just another reason that I love living in Australia.
