Kangaroos

 I have been saying for months that while I was in Australia 
I just wanted to see one kangaroo with a baby in her pouch! 

While we were at Pebbly beach I got to see so many babyroos in pouches
 and even pet the mamas. 

It was so exciting and fascinating  all at the same time! 

 Our camp site was covered with all of these Kangaroos all day/night.
 There were about 10 of them just hangin around. 
We got food and were able to feed them and pet them. 
The kangas would come up to our picnic table and just sit around with us.
 It was absolutely amazing. 
The kangaroos in Pebbly beach are very tame and used to humans.
 The roos that we see in Canberra are wild so we can’t get close to them or even attempt to pet them.

 

This is my new best friend. She kept coming back to me all day. I have named her Sally Jo.

Pebbly Beach

We finally had our first Australia adventure! 

We all had the day off on Sunday and decided we needed to leave Canberra and go on an adventure! 7 of us decided to drive to Pebbly Beach and go camping for the night. Pebbly Beach is about 2 hours away from Canberra – However it took us closer to 4 ½ to get there, since we got lost [about 3 separate times]

Getting lost has become a part of our daily life.  It is basically guaranteed that we will get lost every. single. time we leave the house. None of us have smart phones or a GPS so we have to rely on these things called paper maps- remember those?!

Once we arrived at our camp site the long car ride seemed worth it! We stayed on a beautiful site that had a tropical pool, bar, cabins and was right on the most gorgeous beach.  As I was unpacking the car when Jeremy came running over and told me they found a bunch of kangaroos just laying around a few feet away. We all ran over and were able to sit around with the Kangaroos and take pictures! Little did we know we would spend the rest of the day with these roos! 

After our exciting encounter with the Roos we all put on sneakers and went rock climbing down the beach. It is hard to even describe the beach. The camp site is basically in the woods and then all of the sudden it just opens up to this amazing teal blue ocean water. The beach was surrounded by beautiful and intense rocks that we went climbing on. The pictures don’t even do it justice but I hope you can get an idea of what we saw.
