Wallaby standing beside the road with Capertee Valley bushland behind.
When Driving in the countryside, if you see a Kangaroo cross the road ahead of you, slow down until you pass that point,
because 9 times out 10 there will be other kangaroos following it!

If you get lost bushwalking follow a kangaroo because in no time you will be on the centre of a road. 🙂
