It houses the bore pump (they're not on scheme water, use bore water for the gardens (and the previous owners used it for the horses), and they've got 25,000 gallons of rainwater tanks for drinking/showering/washing).

Where they're fed a lot, yes. Usually happens in coastal tourist towns, caravan parks, and sometimes national park campsites.

Not here, and where my folks have previously lived, where they would graze up to the house, but still bolt if try to approach them...

Roo is delicious, incredibly lean and high in protein, with no antibiotics. As it's so lean, you need to cook it quick and hot, or it ends up very dry.

I've never seen one I have to admit (I live in WA, remember, just visiting the folks over east right now)). You'll be the first to know when I do get some pics 😉

Ah gotcha.

I've always wanted to come to AU but I lack the funds/vacation time for awhile to make it a reality 🙁
