Australia: A dream come true

Cheesy title, but I'm not kidding. I was here in Oz for a couple months a few years back - you'd think that I'd have seen at least ONE wild kangaroo being here that long, but I didn't. It's long been a dream of mine to see them on their own, in the wild. Well, thanks to my friend Stephanie out in New Zealand, my wish was granted.

She told me about this incredible place where there are herds of wild kangaroos - which you can get right up to! I did :)

Later on, we drove (and got wildly lost) on out to Newcastle to visit our ripping photographer friend, Luke. We're shooting a wedding with him tomorrow - so excited about that - and they've been incredible with hosting us while we're here. Tonight's been great finally meeting in person :)

Anyways, here's some of the most beautiful animals you've ever seen!

Is that joey really in mama's pouch? That is insane! He's a little big for that!

Watch out for the wild 'roos. I was at the Australia zoo with more "tame" ones and one growled at me! It was terrifying because those guys are super strong!

I'm so jealous!!!
