Broken Hill kangaroos

kangaroos

Broken Hill is a city however, you might be surprised to find some kangaroos in town  which is what happened to me the other day.

I was driving along a street on the edge of the city and there were a couple of kangaroos enjoying some grass on a local's nature-strip. Naturally I had to stop and take a photo.

One thing to remember about kangaroos however is that they have no road sense at all, which is why you will often see dead kangaroos on the side of country roads.

Just after I took the photo, the smaller of the two kangaroos decided to hop off, across the road, and right in front of a car. It flew up over the SUV's (four wheel drive's) bull-bar and hood/bonnet, then luckily jumped away, seemingly unhurt.

It is a reminder however, that it makes sense to be careful around wildlife as native animals can be very unpredictable.

It's not the first time I've seen kangaroo's hopping around the outskirts of town so you never know what might be around the corner in country Broken Hill.

Cheers, Jane D
