They let me approach to within 2 or 3 metres before moving off.

I'm not entirely sure what that bird is.
You might find it on this free app. A few of the bird entries have sound files. https://australianmuseum.net.au/field-guide-to-nsw-fauna-mobile-app

You mean you Aussies aren't born knowing all the ways of the wild??? I thought everyone there had to complete a mandatory walkabout and learn the names and habits of all the various creatures, or something.

When police arrived the wallaby refused to obey directions and initially evaded police. A short pursuit then occurred
Dr Vogelnest told The Daily Telegraph he didn’t think the unnamed wallaby would get fined for not having an e-tag on the bridge, but thought he deserved a medal for surviving
Also, what's an e-tag?It’s been contained by police, my guess is they’ll be fining it for failing to pay the toll,”

The bridge is a toll bridge - it used to have toll gates and you had to drop money to get through , but now you have E tags - and it's all done electronically.
Its a little thing you stick on the windsceen and it goes bip when you go under the "gates" . They are probably called different things other places.

The interview was not serious by the way

It's called TexTag here... Because, you know... Texas. Has to name everything after itself.

Well, it’s either that, or name it after that “U.S.A” region beyond the Lone Star State’s border. What’s that stand for again? The United Suburbs of Amarillo, right?mightyfelix wrote: ↑February 5th, 2018, 11:43 pm It's called TexTag here... Because, you know... Texas. Has to name everything after itself.

Yeah, kangaroos are surprisingly friendly around humans... I think the red kangaroo is quite ugly, but other breeds are very cute and nice.
