User's notes

Kangaroo is not on CNM for this location as of this posting, he was being chased by a dog. As more native animals are coming into the suburbs for water etc. please look out for them and their safety. In this instance the Kangaroo got away but as there is a busy road nearby who knows what could happen.

Yes but please leave our name off them. We wondered if the dog should have been on a leash there. Thanks for your interest.

This is distressing to see. The background person, even if he's not the owner, gives a powerful message in terms of . . . it could be the owner, watching dispassionately

Re the kangaroos coming into the suburbs....
It has been so dry for so long. I see kangaroos in Conder on a regular basis - a young one was in my yard yesterday. A lot of them are quite young and seem to growing up in suburbia.
