1307 Tidbinbillia Wildlife Reserve, Canberra, ACT, Australia

While bushwalking at Tidbinbilla this morning I captured this female eastern grey kangaroo posing for me.

 

The eastern grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) is a marsupial found in southern and eastern Australia, with a population of several million. The Eastern grey kangaroo is the second largest and heaviest living marsupial and native land mammal in Australia.

Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, on the fringe of Namadgi National Park, is a short drive from the city of Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia. The reserve covers an area of approximately 54.50 km. Tidbinbilla Mountain is believed to have been used for initiation ceremonies. Tidbinbilla has a wide variety of bushwalks - ranging from 30 minutes to over 6 hours. It is also a native habitat for kangaroos, wallabies, platypus, koalas, lyrebirds, emus and other wildlife. On 7 November 2008 The Park was added to the Australian National Heritage List as one of eleven areas constituting the Australian Alps National Parks and Reserves.
