They look cute, they are a hazard when your driving and they love to eat succulent growth.

They also come in all sizes from large males to females with joey’s in pouch. In fact they are everywhere at present and causing some problems.

Spring has brought strong succulent vine growth which is attractive to these guys!  Some damage has occured as Caddie the dog used to manage to chase them off the property.

Sighted in a nearby neighbour’s young vineyard a family of roos happily wandering around. Thank God for the vineguards!

Coastal clearing of remnant bush has driven large numbers inland, causing issues for vignerons. Culling is not a solution, just moving on tactics - hence the dog.
