Walked out onto the verandah today to look into the bush and feel the air. Heard the slightest rustle, looked down to the grass below. About 2.5m below me (the house is on a hill and the downhill side is quite high off the ground) was a wallaby, looking up at me, with a joey hidden in her pouch. She seemed quite unafraid. We exchanged a few pleasantries before I went back inside.

It was unusual. There are wallabies and roos around the place constantly, but they generally like to keep a bit of distance. When we leave the house there is often a sudden THUMP as a roo decamps.
