[QUOTE="ken2m, post: 350855, member: 7269"] One of the (1980s)"threatened species" was the kangaroo, there was real concern that our national icon the kangaroo was at criticaly low levels. I go camping often in the Whitfield area, while driving along patrol track I decided to pull over and see if there was any foxes or rabits in the freshly cleared area under the high voltage lines. Well we stopped and walked about 4 metres away from the car, and looked through the scope sight (not much good at night) so we waited and looked for what must have been about 10 minutes, then a bit of movement, quickly identified as a roo, then a few more, then even more, it turned out that there was a roo at least every 3 metres for as far as you could see. I got the fright of my life when I saw a roo about a metre tall less than 3 metres away from me, and then came the real memorable thing of the night, a just short of 2 metre high roo that was about 2 metres away from me. When the roo moved was the only time that they were able to be seen. He must have sensed that I was no threat to them. A truely memorable night that I shall never forget. Ken. [/QUOTE]
