It’s Xmas day here in Oz and just to follow up on yesterdays Man Vs Roo.
Sore today but not too bad, a few more aches came out overnight, I hadn’t realised I rolled my ankle as well. Wondering if I can use it as an excuse to get out of visiting the in-laws today 😁
Just to add to any questions.
My fault entirely, I should have made it aware of my presence earlier and it would most likely have gone around me. I see and walk through mobs of kangaroos on most walks in the hills around Melbourne and have never had an issues apart from being stared at, which can be disconcerting. I think I was to relaxed around them as when I was a kid we raised a Joey for 3 months and was one of our most fun orphans.
It was an eastern grey and luckily it was only a teenage male so stood about 3 feet, but when it was up on its tail kicking it was closer to 5. If it was one of the big males in full rut I think it would have slaughtered me.
YES the Benny Hill theme was going through my head at the time (just how my mind works)
Not sure what my reaction will be next time I encounter some, but pretty sure I’ll be right.
To all the foreign tourists who have ever been attacked by one, my apologies for all the times I have said you would have to be an idiot for that to happen 🥺
If they ever put that scene in a movie or comedy show about Australian , nobody would believe it.
I’ll try and respond to all the comments but might take some time.
Anyway, Merry Christmas to you all. 🎄🦘
