    Default Rock Wallabies

    I live on 9 acres with bush around 4/5 th's of the boundary, as well as half of our property, with a creek running along one side. So we have quite a bit of wildlife around.
    We have a rather large colony of Unadorned Rock Wallabies that are residents. They dont normally worry about us being around, but bring the camera out and they seem to get frightened and take off into the bush.
    I still manage to take a few photos of them now and then.

    To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    What could possibly go wrong.

    I just love this photo.

    We, my wife and I , because, apparently we are old and feeble, are just about to move to a smaller place in the suburbs away from our bush backdrop with birds, possums, bats, lizards ,snakes, frogs, -I mean just last week I watched a Powerful Owl bend our TV antenna out of shape - crikey, I even like the mozzies.

    This may mean a divorce, but i need a bit of wildlife, even suburban wildlife, around the home paddock.

    I aint moving unless there's trees involved.

    I can imagine how hard it will be to leave somewhere you love so much. Theres nothing better than having the wildlife all around you.
    I hope you find somewhere nice to go to.

    Thanks. They like to make themselves at home around here, we have to chase them off the verandah some days so we can use it.

    Thanks for that Ironwood. Couldn't help a little chuckle when reading that one of the Unadorned Rock-wallabys' relative is the Accompanied Pig-Footed Bandicoot
