I was at the computer when I heard a kerfuffle in the back garden. My work desk is
Anyway, the source of the noise was two adult Lumholtz's tree kangaroos on the ground. Despite the racket, they picked up the sound of the screen door sliding open, so they bolted. I managed to photograph the slower of the two when it was still on the track.
They clambered up the nearest tree and are still there as I type this. I love this place.

You love that place?
I can't imagine why, I'm sure!
I know. It's unfathomable. *shakes head*
Hmph. Can't see the attraction, myself :P
*wipes drool off keyboard*

Your piece of our country is a wonder :)Thanks for sharing.
Lovely set of photos - what a treat!
Thanks for sharing. Really. I mean, all that green and all those 'roos and all that ruckus. What's that compared to... let me look... a current temp of 0 F? It's quiet here because anything that pauses longer than, say, two seconds, will remain there indefinitely. Makes bird watching easier, but pretty boring since it's the same bird in the same place for days on end.
Good thing I'm not bitter.
What do they taste like?
Oh comon, I'm joking!
Belinda, Swampythings, it's just amazing. I can't believe my luck in finding this place.
Sherrie, next time you visit Queensland, you know where all the best subjects are ...
Sebastian, you know the answer to that --- they taste like chicken!
Hi Snail
It will be tough to match this post, next time round!
Great sequence of shots.
Cheers

Denis, I might have to stay away from mammal posts for a while and concentrate on plants and inverts. Then, when everyone's forgotten ...
Hmm. 15 paces out my door are squirrels getting into the dumpsters!
I didn't know squirrels did that. So it's not all acorns and pine seeds then?!
Nice shots snail. This is natures way of compensating you for those freezing cold high altitude temperatures you get in the dry season!Your little paddy was cute too!
Not only the dry season, Russell. I've just put on a jumper!
I may start strapping pademelons to my feet to keep my toes warm.
Oh,oh!
