The Carnarvon kangaroos were very skittish earlier in the afternoon, far upstream of the Visitor's center, but as I descended the Gorge, and the afternoon got longer, they seemed to get more numerous and more relaxed, until at the bottom, they were almost tame.

Left: At Lake Wivenhoe, near Fernvale, Thursday evening, Andrew and I saw a wonderful sight: a mother kangaroo, with a joey poking up out of her pouch (left). The mother kangaroo was trapped between us and a fence, or so we thought, until she decided to leave. From a dead stop, she simply jumped OVER the fence, baby and all, with plenty of room to spare, and bounded away into the forest to join the other kangaroo!
