My friend wanted to take us to hike Morange Wetlands to see the Kangaroo mobs. The park is about 40 minutes northwest of Melbourne. We got stuck in Friday evening rush hour traffic and by the time we got there it was after 6:00pm. The sign at the gate said that the park is locked at 7:00pm. Our plan didn’t leave us much time, but it was all that we needed.

About 5 minutes into our stroll we came across about a group of 12 kangaroos and then a group of a few more.

When reached a large field we found it full of kangaroos, maybe 40 or 50. We stayed back and watched them a little while. Two kangaroos entertained us as they persistently boxed each other.
