WHERE TO SEE SEE WILD KANGAROOS IN AUSTRALIA

I never get sick of seeing wild kangaroos in Australia, and I’m an Aussie, I see them all the time. I can’t imagine how excited a foreigner would be to step on our shores and sight our beloved mascot.

Despite what you see in movies, they are not as commonly found as you think. I think the first time I saw one in the wild was on Pebbly Beach in NSW when I was 19. And at Pebbly Beach, they graze on the grass like herds of sheep.
