These guys are not 100% wild. They hangout at the visitors center in a sort of fenced in area. I say sort of because if they wanted to, they could really just walk out via the road where cars come in, and there is no fence in between you and them. They don't get fed by people, they just eat off the land. They blend in with the surroundings surprisingly well. One was just a few feet away from us and we didn't notice at first.
Our picnic view above, only to find out later we weren't supposed to eat there. I guess they don't want people to leave food for the kangaroos to eat. We cleaned up after ourselves very well though.
Here is Michael at the lookout at the north end of the park, overlooking Lion Island.
We saw a lot of Australian brushturkeys and even a lyrebird. I wanted to teach it some cool sounds, but it ran away before we could even get a good picture.
During a short hike we also heard three distinct thumping sounds and saw a blur of a tall, dark brown creature vanishing away into the bush/trees. We deduce that it was a large wallaby because they sometimes thump as a warning sound if you are getting close, and then apparently freak out and run away.
This might be the only place I ever see this sign in my life.
