Morning grazing.
We finally managed to drag ourselves away from birds, family and domestic duties and got down to Tinchi Tamba Wetlands in northern Brisbane for a walk along their quiet riverside path. Luckily also it was slightly rainy so it was peaceful and quiet. A few of the large number of kangaroos that live peacefully in the wetlands reserve were out grazing on some grass as we passed by on the boardwalk.
On the way back through the forest we came across the biggest male Eastern Grey Kangaroo (which these are also) we have ever seen. Now kangaroos in this place and the wild are usually docile and while watchful will generally retreat. But this one didn't, he stood his ground and watched us, showing off his huge muscles and appendages. So luckily we had trees between us which prevented me gettIng a shot but when they are a bit alarmed it's just best to keep a distance. Just being cautious! They rarely get unhappy with humans but on the extremely rare occasion it's best not to push boundaries. As usual, humans are far more dangerous to them.....far more than vice versa.
