Australian wildlife

Written by on July 27, 2009 · 3 Comments

Following on from being reacquainted with Australian birdlife, I’ve had a good run with seeing Australian Marsupials.

You can drive all over Australia and see “Kangaroos Next 10km” signs and never actually see a kangaroo.

Koalas are even harder to spot than kangaroos. I got lucky here as this one was by the side of the road and was stopping traffic.

At my campsite in Capte Otway Victoria I had this curious swamp wallaby graze nearby my campervan.

In Cape Otway I also saw a reminder of what Australia is well known for – dangerous animals. Fortunately snakes are hibernating in the dead of winter.

    I love all the different animals which appear on the roadsigns around Australia. In and around Shark Bay (WA) i particularly like the bilby signs!

    @Wildlife Tours – my favourite Australian wildlife sign is the Cassowary sign in Far North Queensland.
