Many of the readers of this journal are from the northern hemisphere, and understanably, are fascinated by our kangaroo; we, on the other hand, or, the other paw, often see these creatures as a cute, cuddly nuisance.
However, I was quite surprised, and somewhat gratified, to come face-to-face with a host of these weird animals, no more than 20 minutes away from my own home, just a few weeks ago. Local readers will, perhaps, have heard of the location of an asylum for the insane, in the early days of the settlement of our island colony, at Morrisett.
A few friends dropped in to see this wonderful site, after many years absence, and as we stepped off the tourist coach, the herd slowly descended upon us, seeking easy food, no doubt.
Nuisance they might be, to many, but mesmerising to others - consider these amateur shots, possums.
