[QUOTE="Australian, post: 603562, member: 8793"] If you were lucky or unlucky you could see some of the listed animals in our part of the world. Kangaroos and Wallabies are very common. Goannas are about as are echidnas. Echidnas are very clever they can burrow into extremely hard ground with their small claws. They roll themselves up into a ball with their spines protruding. You don't evre want to run over an echidna on the road. They will puncture car tyres. We get koalas,kookaburras and magpies here as well as cockatoos (although generally cockatoos don't belong in our area,they are found by the millions out west in the grain growing areas and the drier parts, they came here with the galahs when it was drought stricken out west. they love our rain and climate so they stayed.) We don't get Tasmanian Devils. They belong in Tassy. A little story that will give you the creeps. Following the Port Arthur killings near Hobart Tasmania (35 innocent people were killed there by an idiot) Guards had to be stationed near each body till the coroners came so the Tasmanian Devils didn't get to touch the bodies. Possums are common,they often eat my father in laws vegies. Thanks for posting the pictures. Thankfully my brakes worked well on my new car the other morning whilst off to work. A mob of roos thought they would like to go across the road as I went past two went across the other 10 stayed there after I'd stopped.They can do a lot of damage to a car and have caused many deaths over years because of drivers swerving to avoid them.
