  3. Sunday morning sparring. It's a sign, I think, that Spring is on the way.

  4. Ah, the land down under tried to put social media in the naughty corner, but apparently, even #kangaroos can jump over a ban. 🦘🔒 Instead of disabling "JS" and ad blockers, maybe just disable the "ban things that don't work" feature? 🤦‍♂️

  5. Australia: the land of #kangaroos, Vegemite, and now, #free daytime electricity! 😂 Just don't forget to read the fine print hidden among the endless list of #solar panels, EV chargers, and batteries, because who needs clarity when you have endless buzzwords? ☀️🔋⚡

  6. WHY

    Why do the #kangaroos lick the #concrete footings of the gal posts?

    It isn't wanting #salt. I cooked up a little saltlick, (50/50 sugar and salt) they ignored it completely. Still lick the concrete instead. They've cleared away the light rubble in order to get to the surface of the concrete.

  7. @reiayanami

    Was it Faces In the Mob that had two boomers with one for a while only slightly submissive to the other, before the mob splitting with each boomer getting part of it?
    Can't remember what the required submissive response to the dominance display is though.

  8. ‘It’s our kinship’: can #Australia learn to coexist with #dingoes?

    As dingoes vanish from parts of Australia, a new documentary is calling on governments to move away from #eradication and towards solutions that benefit both #farmers and #animals

    By Rosamund Brennan, 11 May 2026

    Excerpt: "As Takau began looking into dingo laws, she says she found that policy was shaped largely by livestock interests, with little regard for #FirstNations cultural authority. 'There were no Aboriginal people having a say in this animal,' she says.

    "In many parts of Australia, dingoes are grouped with 'wild dogs' under biosecurity laws and treated as pests or invasive animals, allowing – and in some places requiring – landholders to kill or exclude them to protect livestock.

    "But Takau argues that framing ignores both their cultural significance and their ecological role. 'Dingoes keep Country healthy,' she says; they can control #overgrazing by animals like goats and #kangaroos, and reduce pressure from feral cats and foxes, which prey on #NativeWildlife.

    "Through her advocacy, Takau met #AlixLivingstone, founder of #DefendTheWild, and the two began working to centre #Aboriginal voices in #DingoConservation. That work led west, through a #CulturalExchange that brought rangers from #Queensland and northern #NSW together with Aboriginal corporations on WA’s south coast to share dingo monitoring knowledge and cultural stories.

    "The film and campaign grew out of that exchange. In February, Moort was screened at WA parliament, where custodians called on the state government to remove dingoes from pest classifications in biosecurity law and phase out 1080 baiting and #strychnine-laced foothold traps, which can cause prolonged, painful deaths.

    "Livingstone says the campaign is not about pitting Aboriginal people against farmers but shifting support from killing programs to coexistence measures such as #BetterFencing, #GuardianAnimals and practical help for landholders. 'It’s about finding solutions for farmers that protect their interests but also maintain dingoes in the environment,' she says."

  9. Fabulous 5+km walk around the river this morning. Usually I tie my jacket around my waist during my walks, but the wind had a definite *there’s snow up high* feel to it so I kept it on. Today was supposed to a be a bigger 9km walk in an area not used too often but as my friend couldn’t come & I was walking alone I thought it more prudent to walk somewhere where there was likely other walkers. Still I did enjoy being out there & I do tend to notice a lot more when I’m by myself. #RiverWalk #ThickTrunkThursday #Kangaroos

  10. A little bit of magic this afternoon. The sunshine came out, and so did the roos, kookas and kings. Shellie and I are out bush shooting in the high country. Will be a few of these pics in the next zine edition me thinks :)

  11. 💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🦐🦘 Roly polies are terrestrial #crustaceans that evolved from marine-dwelling ancestors.

    They share a specific trait with #kangaroos because both carry their young in a brood pouch. Female pill bugs carry their #eggs and newly-hatched young in a special pouch called a marsupium.

  13. Biodiversity under the wheels

    Koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, wombats and other wildlife are forced to dwell in fragmented spaces having to cross many roads to go about their life. Mobility design is primarily for combustion machines to fly along their supply chains. The mobility needs of the un-motorised is not taken care of with the existing infrastructure.

    "Tens of thousands of collisions with animals are recorded each year across Australia and the number appears to be rising. According to NRMA Insurance claims data, there was a 21% rise in animal collision claims from 2024-2025."

    "Many large animals, including kangaroos, are most active at dusk and night, often moving to feed along roadside vegetation. Insurance data shows collisions are concentrated on regional and rural roads, where higher speeds, limited lighting and greater exposure to wildlife increase risk." >>

  14. Malnourished and sick kangaroos, isolated by urban sprawl on New South Wales's Mid North Coast

    "...The kangaroos were chronically malnourished because they could not find enough to eat in an area bordered by ocean, the nearby Emerald Beach settlement, and the Pacific Highway. Our theory is that ongoing development … the M1 being upgraded and an increase in suburban dwellings, that this population is isolated." >>

  16. CW: Very distressing animal cruelty in Australia on behalf of Nike.

    Kangaroo #slaughter companies are finally being brought to heel for their inhumane treatment of #Australia's iconic wildlife, by American states #banning product imports. #Europe is also discussing a ban across the entire zone.

    The "highly #regulated" industry finds it completely okay to take a tiny joey and #kill it by #smashing it against a truck.

    Sadly, so do our #governments. All of them. In fact there are no checks and controls on #slaughterers. They work alone in the dark with no supervision ever.

    #Kangaroos killed for human consumption and pet food are shot in the bush and can be #unrefrigerated from 4pm one day until 7am the next. Temperatures at night can stay at over 30 degrees Celsius.

    The #shooters start their nights buying a case of beer. They drink all night and drive around paddocks, then to a processing plant, up to 150km away in our area, along highways used by #human #families.

    At foot joeys that escape are left to starve to death. In pouch joeys are killed as described above.

    Single #shot kills are rare. An animal that hasn't been killed by a single shot is often #butchered in the field, still alive.. The joeys can hear that happening. A single shot is what is required under the code of #practice governing their behaviour.
