Kangaroos...

Kangaroos, wallabies and quokkas are all adorable fluffy marsupials native to Australia. 

I don't often go to wildlife parks as I find them depressing, last year though I visited Caversham Wildlife Park.

The native animals in Australia are so unique, sadly though habitat loss, traffic and hunting threatens them all.

There's a confined area at the park where you can walk amongst the kangaroos and wallabies. What impressed me is there's a time out area for the kangaroos when they have had enough of humans touching them.

Most of them were really friendly, and come up to investigate people, it was truly a remarkable experience. A few were really intrigued with my camera lens, I've included a few closeups.

The tree kangaroo and the quokkas though were kept safely in enclosures away from cooing people. Although, like me I expect everyone would have loved to get closer.

Quokkas are in the last two photos, they are a little bigger than the quendas that live in my garden. 

They are found only on two islands off the coast of Western Australia, there is only a tiny population on mainland Western Australia and nowhere else in the world...
