How Miniature Kangaroos Took Over The U.K.
The Bennetts wallaby (a subspecies of the red necked wallaby) has been existing in the wilds of Great Britain for years now.
Already there’s breeding populations of them everywhere from Scotland, to Britain, to even the Isle of Man.
Let's have something that isn't political!!
Macropods (literally "big feet") are the coolest of cool.

Change of pace...
Good luck with that - join the VERY small club.
Hhuuuhhh....they gave us their rabbit they can have our Wallaby...
I think wallabies should take over the whole world.
Lol and cats, antelope, fire ants, cane toads, squirrels, camels and a bunch more
Ahh no just the rabbits and cats ...we don't have squirrels here, nor antelope..
Camels came from Afghanistan, Cane toads from South America fire ants from the US gee thanks for that....
I just returned yesterday from two months down under, almost all of it in small mining and cattle stations. Roo’s and wallabies rule the day and have the unfortunate habit of running across the road at night where is is no light at all.
Broken Hill, Australia is a gem history galore and the where BHP stated and now one if not the largest mining company in the world. My grandson lives there and is a ‘’deep mine rescue’’ expert and is sent all of the world when tragedy strikes.
About 100k’s sw of there is where his brother law and sister law run a cattle station of 2500 acres. When we showed up they had a huge picnic area ready in full progress, cold beer, games ‘’two up’’ and BBQ of every thing imaginable, roo, emu, goat, etc the goat stew curry was excellent and little did i know that half of the side of the family is mixed, aboriginal and Scot or Pom. I’m not sure how long it lasted but I know that I did not wake up with a sheep.
We stay out there 3 days. It was wonderful.
We stayed in Orange most of the time it’s is mining town as well. My daughter and daughter in law are nurses, one is a PA the other is a RN in cardiac, both their husbands work in the gold mine and one grand daughterand her husband run a mobile lunch/candy truck and the final one is teaching at the disabled school for children.
To be an American in Australia right now is interesting to say the least.
I am s-o-o-o envious!
Sounds like you had a great time, congrats
Morning...glad you had an excellent time in the Great Southern Land..
You were certainly in a wonderful part of the country and true salt of the earth people..
Yes being an American anywhere at the moment would be interesting....but probably more so here as we love poking fun at you Yanks and with Trumpet running around even more so...
Good on your grandson re the mine rescue, certainly not my cup of tea but glad someone can do it..
I just came back from Qld had a great time and Towoomba is certainly a lovely city and place to visit...🦘🦘
Thanks Shona it was a wonderful trip and being in the real outback, to include the Blue Mountains was the best. The word I got from almost everyone is that you’re a mate not an American, You can throw a rope, ride a horse handle cattle, and raised some steady kids, hell you even eat goat, good on ya mate.
I’m very proud of my grandson and mine rescue, I could see the respect that he got from his mates and others, there was more than one life in the mob that he saved.
And to think it was five generations all together at the same time, simply overwhelming
5 generations that's not a bad effort at all..
Sounds like you have one heck of a bunch of rellies Kavika and all to our advantage living Down Under..🐨
I’m going for six generations, cheer me on.
They are great kids, Shona. I am a very lucky man to have such a wonderful family. All of them where around us every day wanting to know this or that and most every day my great grandson, Falcon and I would head out for ice coffee with at lest two or three of the others trying to join. Kaj and his partner in crime, Lailani or Fox tagging along.
I felt like the Pipe Piper of Australia. LOL
Happy that you had a great time in Queensland. I just saw some of the destruction there from the floods, sad.
Good for the Wallabies
