1. Boink Boink Boink Ever since my first visit to the Australian continent I have been in love with these funny creatures called kangaroos. They may be pesky and a plague in some regions, they may be road kill and loosing the battle against roo guards - I don't care. To watch them bounce all over the place, to see a joey do a 180 after jumping into mama's pouch, to watch them curiously explore every pocket or bag in sight - they are a joy to be around. I do eat them off the barbie, I do like them cooked the Aboriginal way - they are always and everywhere part of my Australian experience. Photo Data: File ID - 17004.
