Seven Roos at Canberra Centre

I had to do a catch and release of a roo that was in a back yard in Curtin. He had cornered himself and wouldn’t leave. Approached slowly, wrapped him in a blanket took him to a green alley leading up to the hill and let him go. He promptly took off down one of the streets, back into the houses.

Ya know… many foreigners believe that they would get to see kangaroos hopping around once they step outside an Australian airport. Just think about the disappointment of many tourists.

So when is Canberra airport going to become an international one?
Kanberra, the Kangaroo Kapital.
Roos yourself in Canberra!
Kangas: Cuter than sheep.
Canberra. Skip’s favourite Getaway.

I saw a big one crossing Melrose Drive just before Corinna St during peak hour. He didn’t seem remotely bothered by all the cars as (I assume) he left the library and was crossing the road to get to his Phillip apartment.

Also, the one that found it’s way under my car on the Parkway one rainy afternoon. Silly bugger.

Japanese tourists will photograph anything, even a copper booking a car at side of road for being illegally parked!

I once saw a big male roo out where the Carillion is located. It was the middle of the day. He looked a bit stressed, like he had found his way out there but seemed trapped. He was’t being impressed by some Japanese tourists who kept approaching him trying to take photos.

Eventually he found the bridge back and took off in a real hurry.

I’m just thinking now. I wonder if the Roos were spending their Rudd Christmas Bonus. I mean to save the stockmarket, why limit it to humans?

I had one in my kitchen…. Tasted beautiful too..

I wonder what the strangest place is that people have seen a roo?

I had one on front lawn in Charny one morning. Guess he’d been to McDonalds…

I saw one once while I was waiting for a bus on Tillyard drive (at the stop just near the underpass about 100 meters past the top shop – but on the Charny shops side). It was about 730am in the middle of winter. Broke the monotony.

The wife reckons she once saw one a few years back heading up the ramp towards Parly house on Commonwealth Ave.

A girl at work crashed into one on her push bike in Braddon a couple of years ago.

She was quite cross because all the passers by rushed up to see if the kangaroo was ok, and left her lying on the pavement!

I have seen kangaroo road kill twice on Commonwealth Ave Bridge.
