Reader Robyn in Australia sent me this picture the other day, and I just loved it. This is her little grandson feeding an orphaned kangaroo a special bread treat. I’ve heard from my Australian friends that kangaroos are really no big thing and kind of a pest sometimes, but to my American experience they are just magic. Imagine! A kangaroo! With a little fuzzy pouch just right there in front of you!
What a pleasure to have the world shrink to the size of an email.
Freakin' awesome. Love it!
We have a park in KY where you can pet kangaroos- well they're actually wallabys- but close enough. The boys love it, but I of course freak out because they try to climb all over them and they say don't touch their head- that's the first thing they go for
We're not in rural Australia so spotting Kangaroos is pretty special for us still, the joeys are so cute. We don't have to travel far to see some though, about half an hour north, south or west will do it 🙂
