At Lysterfield Lake Park
Jul 4, 2010 Australian wildlife, Lysterfield Lake Park
I dropped into Lysterfield Lake Park one day during the week as I had to pass by doing a pick up. So I thought why not do my daily walk there, I’m sure to see something interesting! I nearly despaired of not seeing a bird or a wallaby or kanagaroo after a half hour of walking – I could hear the birds but none near enough to focus on. So I headed down to the lake beach and there spied a young kangaroo on its own. I loved the pose with its head up and ears in different directions but after it decided I was getting too close it took off. Here are a couple of shots from that day.

Daily Walk

One day I went for a walk at Lysterfield Lake Park which is not far from where we live. I ventured down to the beach by the lake and as I walked near the bushes I heard a rustling and 3 kangaroos hopped out and bounded down along the beach. Here are some shots from that day.

Now at a slightly safer distance the mother stops to check my progress while her joey hops into the pouch for safety. Another wallaby is feeding nearby. It was early morning and you can see the sunlight outlining them.

As they noticed I was getting closer (to try and get clearer shots) mother decided to turn away and move and joey followed.
