the real kanga and baby roo
Image Posted on Updated on
Kanga and her baby Roo, from the infamous Winnie-the-Pooh books by A.A. Milne, lived with Pooh in the Hundred Acre Woods. The appearance of a home-grown native animal in an English story book, while being raised on the English Canon, served to reinforce my love for these Australian animals (as a city-bred child I rarely encountered them myself outside of Sydney’s Taronga Zoo). Kanga’s character in the book reflects the characters of the wallabies/kangaroos that now surround my house at all hours of the day/night. Like Kanga they are pretty, observant, loyal and unequivocally devoted parents. Also like Kanga their one Dislike is … Any Threat to Roo!

Because sometimes you just need a cute roo hiding in a bush nibbling a stalk of grass.

This wallaby certainly displayed some attitude when I ventured up the path into ‘its’ domain. She seems to be saying, ‘see these nails darling, see these nails’. 😀
here’s looking at you…
