I counted more than 100 kangaroos here
International tourists love seeing kangaroos. They're so iconically Australian.
The thing is, we love seeing them too, even though we've both lived here most of our lives.
But at home in Brisbane we don't have 'roos' (as we call them). We have two different species of wallabies, but they're much smaller and more timid.
These kangaroos, especially the adult males, are BIG.
And we saw more in one spot today than I've ever seen in my forty-something years.
I counted, as best I could, about 95 in one area, then walked a handful of steps and saw another dozen or more, and then across a road there were another handful.
It was wild! Even for me, an Aussie, who has seen her fair share of roos over the years.
Where are we?
Queanbeyan, NSW.
And where were all the roos specifically?
Queanbeyan Golf Course, with all its lovely, tasty, green, green grass 😊

That is wild. Are they naturally herd animals like that?
yes a herd of Kangaroos is called a mob, I did not think the mobs got that big but it looks like they have pretty good conditions at the golf course plenty of water and grass. The noise of the golfer hitting the ball did not worry them at all.
That is neat. I did not know they were herd animals. I bet the gold course owners don't appreciate them eating the grass and pooing on the course. LOL
I don't think they mind, looks like they just nibble and probably leave good manure. !LOL

yep! they sure are =)
Dear friend,
It is fascinating how nature can surprise us, even in places we think we know inside out. The thrill you feel at seeing those majestic kangaroos, despite having lived in Australia all your life, reflects a deep connection with the beauty of our surroundings. The ability to be amazed by the everyday is a gift we often forget to appreciate.
Queanbeyan seems to have been a magical setting for your encounter with these iconic animals. The sight of so many kangaroos in one place, enjoying the golf course, is a reminder that nature always has something new to offer us, no matter how many times we have been there.
That moment is not only a visual delight, but also an invitation to reflect on the importance of caring for and valuing our natural environment. May every encounter with the local wildlife be a reminder of the wonder that surrounds us and the need to protect it. I hope you continue to enjoy these moments and share your experiences! 🌿🐾💚
