Thanks! Fingers crossed we all get more rain - without going from one extreme to the other! Unfortunately the likely solution will be a cyclone...

Originally posted by Sailor Rob, I like this combination landscape-wildlife shot - puts the kangaroo in context. Nice job.
Thanks Jer! I could have got closer, but I wanted to underline his isolation in the dust and dead grass.
Originally posted by slowpez With the bears it is the ladies you have to worry about when they have cubs.
They say that the female of the species is the more deadly.
Not kangaroos though.
Originally posted by SkipperRi Good shot. If you want rain to come down under, just let me know, here is rainy over a month now, I'll be more than happy send you some of that...
Please do if you can!
Originally posted by Bob Harris I like how you captured it in the darker shadow and the sweeping light in front. Nicely done Rob.
Thanks Bob!
Originally posted by Bruce Clark He is a big'un alright. Look at those forearms. Nice shot.
Yeah, I don't think I'd try going a couple of rounds against him!
Originally posted by j2photos I can imagine being mauled by a bear is worse than being mauled by a roo. Not that I would want to be mauled by anything. Always carry a large bottle of pepper spray when in the remote wilderness.
Interesting idea! I wouldn't want to get mauled by anything either. I understand that a kangaroo can do a lot of damage with a kick of one of those hind legs. So in the case of Kangaroos, "mauling" isn't really the right word. I'd like to put a smiley here, but it's a pretty serious topic.
The most dangerous large animals in Oz are generally feral - cattle, horses, pigs, camels, dogs. Having said that, I've spent a lot of time out in national parks and never had a problem.
