My friend and I decided to take a quick trip one morning to check out one of the National Parks near Canberra. Now the ACT (Australian Capital Territory) is a lot bigger than I would have expected, even an hour outside of Canberra we were still located in it. Namadgi is the fairly large sized National Park in the ACT boundaries and you certainly feel like you are well outside of Canberra while here. Driving in we noticed we may be the only ones venturing down to the trail, but we certainly were not alone.
Kangaroos photographed from my car window...
I would love to see a kangaroo in the wild and I love how curious this one looks! What a fun picture:)

It is definitely amazing to get to see them in the wild. It is not always easy to get to see wild animals in Australia, unless you really get out of the cities.
What a fabulous picture! The colors and the angle are so engaging.

I got really lucky with the angle as I was shooting the photo out of the car window.
Great photo! I love how curious they look.

Yeah they were probably not expecting us. We didn’t see anyone else on the unsealed road to the trailhead. There were even a few parts of the road that were a bit flooded that we needed to go out and check to make sure they weren’t too deep.
Wow – I’m used to spotting squirrels and rabbits, but nothing like that!
I’m normally used to that as well. I’ve been to Australia a few times perhaps but it is still such an exciting sight to catch a few kangaroos in the wild.
Awesome picture! There seems to be quite a few of them too. Do they approach the cars or are they just so used to humans gawking at them?

These ones definitely did not get closer to our car. There were a few a bit further down standing on the dirt road we were driving down however and they also hopped away as we approached closer. I’ve seen some other kangaroos at some of the beaches that are really too tame due to human interaction. These ones appeared cautiously curious.
I love happening on wild animals like that and they watch you with such obvious curiosity. If only we could know what they were thinking!

Yes I was definitely wondering what they must be thinking! I kinda imagined they were curious who these trespassers were on their land.
