THANKS to all
Yes I guess you are right there Shi in the fact that not many people would have a wallaby or even see one. It is interesting to note that many Aussie animals have names that were given to them by the indigenous people (the aboriginal people). My 4 step children are part indigenous. So the name PADEMELON is really very strange to hear for some - even for some who live right here in Tasmania. My dear friend who lives in Hobart, the capital city of Tasmania, escapes up here to our place for his 'sanity breaks' - and he had not seen a Pademelon up close and when he first did, he was standing on our deck and there were 2 below him only a few feet away and he burst into our house saying 'OH MY GOODNESS I SAW A WATERMELON' and he couldn't understand why I fell on the ground laughing. I said "Could you mean a PADEMELON" and then understanding his mistake, we laughed for a very long time
So some of our wildlife where we live, even surprises others from the same state here down under
love and light
