In for a Big Surprise

As we were walking along the Baldwin’s Bluff Nature Trail at Serpentine National Park on the weekend, we were hoping to see some kangaroos. Along the trail we saw plenty of insects, including this beautiful Monarch (also known as Wanderer) butterfly. The kangaroos must have been hiding Somewhere Else, since we didn’t see a single one. However when we got back to the grassed picnic area at the car park, we found:

 

 

There were five kangaroos, one male and four females with joeys (babies) in the pouch. You can just see a joey peeking out in the photo above. Most of the kangaroos were chomping on the grass, but one seemed to think that the nearby weeds were tastier. Don’t you just hate it when someone takes your photo while you are eating?
