Wallabies in our backyard!!!
These pictures show wallabies in the land behind our place, in a northern suburb of Sydney! They come into this area for the greener vegetation.
These are "Swamp Wallabies". A wallaby is a small version of a kangaroo - not a baby kangaroo, which is called a joey.
With a joey!
This earlier set shows a mother with her joey - a growing baby. Taken using a Praktica MTL3 SLR camera, probably with a 135mm lens. Scanned from prints.
 | The joey's ears and front paws are visible - it is also eating the grass. |
 | Am I being watched? |
