wildlife adventures in Australia from an inner city dweller who normally only sees pigeons & cockroaches etc.

When I was in Bendigo last week (regional city 1.5 hours northish of Melbourne, Australia's second largest city of several million people) we saw a wallaby on the side of the road at dusk. This is normally the time when moving animals become roadkill, but this one was just grazing on the side of the road.

We also saw a dead kangaroo later that night & our driver pulled it off the road.

Same trip we saw emus, but they weren't wild as they lived in an animal park! But they aren't tame, either & I once saw one chasing a tourist in another park! This was the same park where I spent so long in the nocturnal house that nocturnal animals came to the glass to look at me. That was my best animal adventure.
