Kangaroo and joey, Murray-Sunset National Park

Kangaroo and joey, Murray-Sunset NP, Victoria

As we travelled through Murray-Sunset National Park on our holiday last year we saw quite a few Eastern Grey Kangaroos. This one had a large joey which jumped into the pouch as we approached. Mum then posed beautifully for my camera. Even  though he couldn’t see us, we could see him because he left his tail and one leg sticking out. Click on the photo to enlarge the image.

That is one mother who will be pleased when joey no longer hides in the pouch. By the look of it, there is not much room left in there.
