    Forget the religion part, hot crossed buns heated up with melted butter or margarine is something to die for!
    Glad you enjoyed your stay guys,..lol! I've heard the notion of Kangaroos jumping down the street in Australia and thought yeah that's BS!
    But after moving up to the far north coast of NSW,...yes it is true I've had Kangaroos on my front lawn, so it is true depending on where you live in Australia.
    The same goes for Koala's, there was one rescued from a main street in Port Macquarie which is about an hours drive south from where I am.
    Also we actually had a wallaby in the house at my parents place at Port Macquarie before I bought the place at South West Rocks and moved out.
    I heard a short scream from my mother that there was a wallaby in the house and I thought BS! But when I walked out from the computer room there it was a bloody wallaby in the house!
    My first thoughts where how the bloody hell did that get in? Under close inspection I realised that it had jumped in through the wire screen door some how?
    Anyway I'm glad it was only a small one, trying to capture it and put it back out side was a handful,,,. so strong and powerful that little bugger was!
    But I got it outside in the end by holding on to it's tail and trying to guide it out the door,...few! Wasn't expecting that after checking my emails. 🤣

      Yeah even when I tell other Aussies that story they look at me in disbelieve.
      Even at the time I thought Mum might need to go into a retirement home, she's seeing wallaby's in the house?
      Yeah we thought it was probably being chased by a dog or kids or something as wallaby's don't usually come crashing through your front door lol!

    Even better (but not quite so close) in the wild. Most of my early morning bike rides have kangaroos and wallabies crossing the roads and tracks, which means you need to be pretty careful, because they have zero road sense. Or I can go a few minutes up the road to my son's house, and nearly always find koalas and other interesting critters on his property. Great life.

    Y'all were lucky to see the tazmanian devils so active! It was obviously a feeding time. I spent over a month there years ago and toured many nature parks and never saw one awake. The wombats were always asleep too. Lone Pine was my favorite though. We actually took a boat from Brisbane. I got hold a northern koala named shadow... that was 17 years ago. Eventually the kangaroo became commonplace ( they are so much like deer) and feeding them yams got a bit old... but I never tired of watching the koalas.

    Pretty sure the US is the only place that has peeps for Easter & Aussies don't associate marshmallow or jellybeans with Easter. It'll be chocolate, smarties, chicks, bunnies, sugar eggs & sweet breads like Easter buns.

      @@nathanmontgomery4330 Its classified as Native under Australian jurisdiction, and you could say that about any dog breeds considered native and just say theyre all the same since theyre all the same because they decended from Wolves.
      But either way theres enough genetic seperation from other dogs that they can be pin pointed to Australia, making them endemic to the continent

      @@HappyHoppe For the most part if you ever found one, they rarely ever get seen in the wild, they avoid humans because we're bigger than them & they don't know what we can do. Most animals will not attack something so much bigger unless they're starving & in the jungle there's little reason to starve. Btw I saw on a TH-cam channel that cassowaries are larger than emus. Not true unless you're talking about young ones. A cassowary rarely reaches 5ft but emus where I come from can stand well over 6ft & probably more likely to attack.
