Kangaroos and Cemetaries...

« Back to blog

...two things that fascinate me.

Kangaroos are just plain interesting animals...and the ones who live in the Moree Cemetary and the neighbouring golf course (because there's always water during droughts in those two places) are beauitfully tame.

And growing up, the local cemetary - which is a very short walk from my childhood home - was a great place to ride a bike, play in the water sprinklers on a hot summers day (with the kangaroos) and learn about town history.

Like the fact Charles Dickens' son died here.

You already knew I was a bit weird.

I wish I had a kangaroo. Shelley probably wouldn't let me though.

cute and fascinating, but i've heard that kangaroos are mean. your experience? also, i really like cemeteries. more so for the history of them and of the town that holds them.

Wow, I used to go look at the headstones with my Mother & Grammy when I was a kid! I still like to do that if I happen to be at one. It's cool to read them. Sometimes really sad.

Crystal, my experience has not been of mean 'roos. But we also have grey kangaroos rather than red kangaroos (grey are much more common). In general, the mean ones are red...they are also HUGE.
