While chatting with a fellow blogger recently, I was reminded of our Australian native Kangaroos. They are a joy to see in the paddocks just across the road from our home, along with the cows that also enjoy grazing there.
Our area, which is in regional New South Wales is exploding with housing, and the population is now such that our local mall suffers from extreme over use, making it hard to get parking at peak shopping times. It’s almost got me thinking of moving!
Naturally, such is my life that I wouldn’t and couldn’t do such a thing without firstly being inspired by The C.C. However, as the population grows, so does my desire.
You wish to move, dearest?
Yes and no. I loved moving here, all those years past. The area, still in its infanthood, with its abundance of wildlife, particularly the kangas, was a joy to be a part of.
And now?
Now I miss seeing the mobs of kangas, which could be seen, as in the video, almost on a daily basis. As the housing has multiplied exponentially it is a rare day to see them in such great numbers. Our sleepy little haven is now changed. People have moved on, while others have come. It’s different.
Indeed, dearest, yes indeed. You have enjoyed living in this region, we understand. Can we suggest that now is not the time for change. There will come, at the appropriate time, a change of housing and region. Alas, though, not for some time to come.
That is quite okay – I am not ‘eager’ to move; just feeling a little sentimental…

Love the black-and-white image💖—quietly beautiful. At dawn, yesterday a great buck stood on the bridge and stopped me in my tracks. Yikes ! Powerful and regal was he…
I agree with you, Catherine – the black and white image is, as you say – quietly beautiful.
As I mentioned in my comment – they are not known to attack, unless cornered/threatened. I would then give them every consent to defend themselves, However, a big buck suddenly appearing would give anyone the heebie-jeebies – they look so powerful and capable!
Wow, that’s a lot of kangaroos!
Yes, Dorothy, that was only 5-6 years ago. We are lucky to see less than half that amount these days. With greater population expanding in the region, more housing, more cars, etc., the kangas have less habitat.
We are lucky, though. Across from us is a flood plain (no problem for us) where council restrict housing. This, at least, allows for grazing for all wildlife. The birds this area attracts, is spectacular too.
Oh well, that’s progress…
Thank you for the lovely video share. They are quite something! I’ve never been to Australia but I’m sure I’d love it!
I am sure that you would love it, too, Michele; there are so many wonderful sights to see, and things to do.
I know your adventurous spirit would be thrilled… 🤗
Wonderful! Thank you, Carolyn. 🤗
Java Bean: “Ayyy, I would miss seeing those crazy kangaroos too if we used to have them around here! They look like a lot of fun to stare at and probably bark at!”
Haha… Yes, Java Bean, they ARE a lot of fun to have around… I can ‘stare’ at them for ages.
I’m absolutely certain that you would have a lot of fun staring, and barking at them too. Nothing quite as cute as seeing bouncing kangas! Except, maybe, seeing you enjoying seeing kangas bouncing!!!
😂🤗😊
how many Kangaroos, that’s awesome
It is awesome, Gary. I enjoy seeing them, even though, these days, there are less and less appearing across in the paddocks it is just an absolute delight to see them.
It’s hard when the wildlife begins to move away as an area becomes more developed. When I first moved to my home, there was still a farm that I could see from my window. It’s been gone for many years now. The land was developed and now it is just all homes.
Ouch….I truly relate, Sheryl. I’m experiencing that now. Used to be the hills surrounding us were green and inviting. Now, much of that land is covered with housing leaving little access for the wildlife to our paddocks across the road. However, they do still come – not in such great numbers of years past, but it’s such a joy to see them, no matter the numbers.
“Where ever you go, there you are.”
So true, Michael. We’d better enjoy being with ourselves. Otherwise, life would be rather awful. As you say – Wherever we go, there we are…
Such a great truism. 🤗
We’re getting a different problem here in the suburbs of Seattle. So much housing development has displaced the wildlife, so we find bobcats and bears occasionally roaming about. Scary but magnificent at the same time.
I totally understand. How magnificent and somewhat scary too!
I’d love to see your wildlife – so adrenaline creating…
But, sad at the same time.
