This fellow is enjoying the native grasses in my garden. There were 3 males in my front garden one night around that time. Unfortunately one of them jumped my neighbour's fence and drowned in his swimming pool. The kangaroos have become quite urbanised locally.

I've added a photo of the damage done by the other kangaroo while trying to get out of the neighbour's pool and before it eventually drowned.
