Roos, Roos, where are you?

We can't go home until we see some kangaroos in the wild. We have seen plenty in the sanctuaries, but none in the wild.  After a morning of kiddies' tennis, we take off to the country to see Chrissie's Grandmother, Grandma Gleeson. She lives in Ipswich, which is about an hour west of Brisbane. IMG_2573 She lives on a lovely property with chickens, horses and many wild birds, IMG_2599 but NO ROOS! We enjoy a lovely tea with scones, and strawberry shortcakes.IMG_2610 So on the way home, Jeff has an assignment:  FIND US SOME KANGAROOS in the wild.  Well, Grandma Gleeson sent us in the right direction, and soon we came up on a golf course with a resident population of more kangaroos than we ever imagined.
