Seeing My First Photogenic Kangaroo In Victoria - Blog #12

I took a drive up to Arthurs seat hill in Rosebud - Victoria yesterday with my handy tour guide @Jenniferc

Arthurs seat is located about 75km south east from Melbourne. The hill is also known by the aboriginal name of Wonga.

It's a major tourist attraction in the summertime, luckily it's the middle of winter here and it's not plagued by tourists this time of year. We only saw local family's out for picnics and some road cyclists climbing up the 1,000ft hill to be rewarded with the breathtaking views.

There are scheduled burning periods during the winter when the park rangers light controlled fires to burn off the bush which ensure fires don't get out of control during the summer when it's super hot. The area is teeming with indigenous wildlife including kangaroos, koalas, many varieties of snakes and insects. I didn't see any koalas, snakes, or insects; it's too cold for them to come out this time of year, If you visit in the summertime then it's a different story all together!

I got really close to these kangaroos, they seem to be use to people as they all sit right on the side of the trails just watching people pass by.

Thanks for viewing!
